Congrats Jake and your wife! And thanks for the conditions report and pictures.

With a 12:45 round trip, you two are in great shape. I am curious what you do for conditioning.

Also, I had to look up whippet. Still not sure... a dog? a whif of Nitrous oxide from whipped cream canister? Or guessing here -- a canister of oxygen?

Besides the "headache in a bottle", what did you do for water on the hike?
