Breathe, Drink and Keep Going: Conquering Mt. Whitney

It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves. ... to myself: breathe, drink and keep going. Leading 10 people including my son was the greatest accomplishment that I ever done in my life.



To Tim, Elvira, Jeanine, Jess, Bernard, Garry and Chris: All of you did a awesome job on our Mt. Whitney Journey. It's my pleasure to lead a great group of people.

It is a great pleasure hiking with you guys!!! Just keep on HIKING.

Congratulations, and great video!


One day I'd like to hike the entire John Muir Trail and not leave a single footprint. -Randy Morgenson

Congratulations Alana and all your group. Loved the video -- it raises the bar for video composition and editing.

Anyone with a fast enough connection can fiddle with the controls at the bottom of the screen and change the controls at the bottom of the window and watch in HD (720p) and full screen.

Fun to watch!

Excellent video report. Can you describe the condition of the cables?

Hi Brent,

The cable area was pretty clear. I few snow and ice but don't really need crampons or anything. That was my worry even before we hiked up. When I saw the cables, it was a big relief and waited for my son and friends.

You should be alright!
