Brent, like you we had to turn around right before the summit last year. Bri and Barb were doing fine with the altitude, but it was getting really late in the day and Ranger Rob suggested we get back across the snow chute before it iced up. I'm sure you remember that chute crossing. I think we ran across you guys not far from the windows, and we didn't really go much further.
It's been eating at both Barb and Bri ever since, but plans fell through this year for our annual trip due to work and family commitments. We're certainly planning on next summer. I'm hoping to get out there sooner - at least for a winter week in Death Valley if nothing else.
Have a great climb!
