Unfortunately my hiking partner decided that the weather was too threatening to attempt the summit and return hike today. I was ready to go, mentally prepared for a 8 hour return trip, but the predicted rain and thunderstorms put a stop to it. I am not sure how the weather turned out in the end. I know there were lots of clouds hanging around the mountains mid morning, but then I drove to Vegas. I might try for a permit on July 18 or 19 after the Badwater and hope the thunderstorms stay away then.
