I'm thinking we should get as many people together, contact the Guinness Book of world records and set a record for the most amount of people dancing on Mt Whitney!!!
Talk about an engraved invitation for AMS! Can you imagine being on the summit at the same time as these hyper-active ladies and seeing this going on?!
And Joe, you have about as much chance of seeing me dance on Whitney's summit as - well, just about anywhere else . . .
Is there a special lottery/permit needed for dancing on Whitney summit?
I would love to see the write up from the medical forms on how the injury occurred...'Well, I was dancing with 15 other people at 14,505' on a pile of rocks when a marmot jumped out and I got a little to close to the edge...
What you don't see is the scene directly after they finished recording that where they collapsed on the ground gasping for air... good grief I feel like passing out just watching them! lol

I posted a comment on their YouTube page, then Joe Quillan wrote

Yes, you are becoming quite a hit on the hiking site. Must admit, I don't move that well at 14,507 feet. Did you get all that energy by drinking a coffee at the Starbucks on the summit:-)
and we got this reply from caitlinjacquelyn:

ha! everybody thought we were crazy, what you don't see are the 25 people behind the camera watching us and shaking their heads! it was a blast though! and we danced all the way down the trail crest!
I once met two couples on the summit of Long's Peak. One of the guys surprised his girlfriend with an engagement ring. When she accepted, he pulled out a magnum of champagne, and everyone celebrated. Hauling a bottle of Grey Goose is the least you can do.
BTW, I never dance, but I considered doing jumping jacks on the summit of Denali.
Interesting you mention that Bob as one of the guys on our 1994 Kilimanjaro climb did about 3-4 minutes of jumping jacks at the summit sign on top. Admittedly Kili is slightly lower than Denali,but I have it on video tape & see it when I look at our trip tapes every once in a while. I have no idea how to get that part of the video on this site.
Snow in Georgia....and a LOT! You guys were all over the TV a couple of days back. The news makes it look like you're all gonna die out there from crashing and freezing to death. Reminds me of our earthquakes out here. When we have a decent one, all my buddies call me to see if I survived!
It's been colder in Atlanta the past two nights than on the summit of Whitney, which means all this snow (mostly ice now) is taking it's sweet time about going away. We'll typically get an inch or two a couple of times each winter, but it's normally gone in 24-36 hours as temps get above freezing. This particular 8-inch dump was followed by really frigid air and there's been little opportunity for melt. The city has been pretty much shut down since Sunday afternoon, so we're in to a 5th day of paralysis. Freeways and major surface roads are reasonably passable, but all the secondary roads - where people live, basically - are still appropriate for filming Ice Road Truckers. I'm in to my 5th day of being stuck at work. Hope to make it home by tomorrow!
