Mount Whitney - August 2006

My second trip to Mt. Whitney, and my first time on top. Monica came down with a bad case of Acute Mountain Sickness, and she and Eric descended from Outpost Camp on the second day. Earlier that morning John and I got an alpine start for the summit: him about 12:30am; me at 2:00am. I caught him just below Trail Crest, where we turned around in 2005. Past Trail Crest, I pushed on ahead and made the summit at 7:50am. John arrived about an hour later. (NOTE: Timestamp on photos is approximately 1 hour earlier than the actual time.)
