My son and I reached the summit of Mt. Whitney on July 2. Our camera batteries were dead. A young man, Phil, offered to take our picture. He gave us his email address. However, we misplaced it. We would hope to get in touch with him so he can send us the photo.

On the page of JULY 2 of the SUMMIT REGISTRY near the bottom, are our signed names --
Mark Milam Shreveport, Louisiana
Cade Milam Shreveport, Louisiana

Phil (maybe Philip) arrived ahead of us. I don't know his last name, but it was not a common name.
If you will write down his full name along with his home city and state, I believe I can contact him.

Email me @ jm222@bellsouth.net
Or phone @ 318-797-2208

I will mail you a check for $75.00 whether I am able to reach him or not with much appreciation.

I wish you luck and hope that Phil provides you with the photos for nothing....that is the morally right thing to do. Why does money have to enter into this equation?

People often take pictures of their names in the registry and so you may get a hit there. Otherwise, find a poster who is going up and ask them to thumb back to the page with your name on it. I'm almost certain someone will be wiling to do that for free. I understand your sentiment though. The picture on top of Whitney with my father is invaluable--I probably would pay whatever it would take to get it if I lost access to it.

I am heading up this Monday with my daughter and hope to summit on Tuesday. I will do my best to remember to take a picture of your entry and will gladly email it to you. My fee is one cold adult beverage if we ever meet. If not, it is on the house.

Kent, I think that is very generous of you to do that.

Hey Paul --
Thanks for your reply !
The $ offer hopefully would be an incentive. This trip and actually summiting Mt. Whitney with my son is something we both will remember. Not having a photo is just disappointing.
Best wishes,
Mark M

That is terrific !!!
(Make sure your batteries are charged.) I hope the weather will cooperate.
Making the climb with your daughter will be special, I'm sure.
Any questions you may think of, please let me know. We'll stay in touch.
Stay safe,
Mark
