Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion Navratilova turns back at 14,800 feet (HAPE)

I wonder if she's climbed tall peaks before?

And, as most of us know, being in fine shape is not a predictor of HAPE/HACE.

And who knows - maybe the HAPE will be a blessing in disguise, and help her to raise even more $$ for her charity than she might have otherwise.
