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. smile

And my second summit of Whitney this year was a tiny bit more impressive than the first. smile

Came to post this from the LA Times.

Where is the pic taken? - Olmsted Point?

Yes, Olmsted Point.

I just saw that erratic move! Whoa! whistle

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.

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