Hi Steve,
Just read your Grand Canyon rim to rim post, awesome hike!
I was foiled on MWT in October 2015 by a huge snowstorm which left me socked in at Trail Camp for over 2 days. On that occasion no concerns with altitude but I had spent 5 days in Yosemite prior to my MWT hike.
Today I secumbed to altitude sickness after charging up to Trail Camp again, straight from Lone Pine and decided to come back to town as I felt bloody terrible, even tried to sit it out at Outpost Camp for a while but no relief. Unfortunately the 6000 mile commute from Sydney together with a tight schedule does not allow time to acclimate.
Right now I'm in Lone Pine thinking about giving it another shake tomorrow but I'm torn.
Current score: Mt Whitney 2, me 0
I need to make peace with this hill!
