OK, sorry everyone, but because I'm hosting this on a free system I can't have so many visitors! I've cut out some of the less interesting pictures so my bandwidth doesn't get exceeded so often. I've also created this mirror site to take the load off. You can see the pics on either page.
Beginning of the ascent:
Before we start
Trail start: Dan
Now for the real hike
Whitney covered by clouds, Chris covered
by rain
Dan in the same spot
View from tent
Climbing Day:
Start of the climb
Dan at first plateau
Dan pointing to Whitney
Looks easy to me
Almost over the next plateau
Heading for the notch
NOT the right path to follow... snow = bad
Man, Chris's teeth are white
Dan on a steep spot
Summit:
On the summit
Chris has a small ego
Dan is king of the world
Proof we succeeded
The team
Descent:
Iceberg Lake
A fat marmot
Upper Boyscout Lake with our tent in
lower right corner
Start of the Ledges
Starting the dangerous section
Only slightly steep dropoff
Don't slip
Enjoying the last view
The worst part of the trip (you can't
see the sign that says "Poop Bags ONLY")
And we're done
Random mountain shots:
View from summit 1
View from summit 2
There's a house up there?
