If you cannot acclimate consider getting to a doctor tomorrow morning or calling one and getting a script for Diamox. Take 125mg twice a day On thrusday and on Friday.
You will have full light by 5:15 or so.
You will find the chute and it will not be too hard to ascend. It's right after trail camp (you will see plenty of tents on a giant rock). Follow the footprints, they are quite obvious.
Drink alot of water. Make sure you are peeing clear often (every hour). This is probably one of the most important things to remember for acclimation. Put some gatorade powder in it and have some salty snacks with you.
Eat alot of carbs. Just keeping eating till you are full again and again. Earlier rather than later because you may not be as hungry higher up.
Take breaks even if you are not tired. Often. Don't worry about your time. You will make it up on your descent.
Don't be afraid not to summit. If you feel like crap, you can do it again another time. Your going to have a great time either way. I saw people practically passed out on the summit, sick out of their minds who did it in one day. They didn't look like they were having fun and should've turned back.
I agree with the north fork issue. You might want to just take off your shoes and socks and wade thru, then dry them and put them back on.
Don't forget your trekking poles and gators.
Have fun and post your results!
