Thanks for the kind words.
Steve:
I've been doing a few really long days every year since I started climbing. The first few years, most of the brutally long days weren't planned to be that long. After 20+ years, most of my climbs take about as long as I think they will.
It just looks like I'm doing more this year because I've done more climbs than ever on Whitney, and I reported them. There were several years when I ran a lot and didn't climb much. I can't run any more, so I climb, go cycling, and ride my horse. I didn't do any special training for the double, but I put a lot of effort into the "execution" of the trip.
