> The daughter and I this past week hiked/climbed 60 miles and 11,000' gain in Yosemite and Bishop areas....

...So is THAT your trip report? wink

Despite the bonking, it sounds like you had a great adventure. I hope you will post a trip report, or, better yet, multiple discussion threads to talk more about what worked or didn't on your trip.

I recall you had a number of questions about the permits and such. How difficult was it getting the permits you needed?

As for the "bonking", how much food did you take along? What was on the menu besides oatmeal and whey?

What sort of workouts did you do, if any, leading up to the trip?

( Curious minds want to know. smile )
...maybe start another thread.
