What a fantastic trip report.Glad you got to experience Mt. Whitney with your son.You are not the first to have that emotional moment when summiting. The summit is a metaphor for many of us.Congratulations on an excellent adventure.It is one you and your son will never forget.I am so impressed with you being able to do the MR. Amazing how everything fell into place for you.The 2 places you mention The E-Ledges and the final 400 are what keep me from attempting the MR.That exposure thing is a big deal to me. Great job and thanks for sharing.Aren't those burgers and fries at Doug's amazing in themselves? They are everything and more than advertized. No wonder everyone raves about them after a MW summit?
