Apparently, the California drought caused the Sierra Nevada mountains to rise about an inch.

Gotta change all the t-shirts and swag now... 15,508.1 feet.
And my second summit of Whitney this year was a tiny bit more impressive than the first.

Yes, Olmsted Point.
I just saw that erratic move! Whoa!
Now, we need Mammoth to explode and the the entire Sierra Nevada will rise another inch maybe two.
Journey well...

Sorry, the whole Sierra rose. That means you started an inch higher, too.
Wherever you go, there you are.

The bright side is that you are also an inch taller...
How is that possible?

Hay the upside is you did have to do 1 inch more of acclimation, even to start. That is non-zero.
Wherever you go, there you are.
