I agree wholeheartedly about Trail Crest - get there feeling good and it's all downhill from that point (figuratively speaking). Once the summit hut comes into view on the backside, even though it's still quite a distance off, it's a done deal.
Looks like that additional muscle you put on over the winter worked out perfectly for your plan - even if you did wait till the last possible minute to squeeze in a dry-footed Whitney summit! Gonna bee back for a little winter fun with crampons, ice axe and handwarmers?
Congrats again Bee - I'm really happy for you!
