Dang, I've been discovered. Guess I'll have to whip up some kind of trip report now. Bulldog, I'm kinda shy like Bee so you may have to draw me out with some line of questioning. As Wagga would say "there's a photo, so it must have happened". Chad, Kristy and I made it to the summit on Sept 30 around 2pm. It was such a pleasure running into Bob "The Tom Sellick of Mt. Whitney" R, Buff and Beeutiful Bee and Steve "The final 400 Destroyer" C. about 3/4 of the way up the switchbacks. Our original plan was to summit on Fri., but because of incoming bad weather we headed up on Thur. Glad we did because the mountain was cloaked in clouds most of Fri. Another highlight was a very brief incounter with Richard "the human stairmaster" P right before Trailside Meadow working on #98 I believe. OK bulldog start the questions.
