Excellent tr as usual Gary. Sounds like you guys made wise decisions on the mountain and I'm sure Barb and Bri's appetite for Whitney is well whetted for next year.
I'm totally with you on the Sierra social scene. After four trips out there, I find I miss the people as much as the mountains. Sure wish I could have made the trip this year. How are Joe's eardrums after three days of Bri?
