Some pics from last year's sprint up Whitney; 22 miles, 6100 feet of elevation, and 17 hours of labor to the 14,496ft summit. In all fairness, some endured the task in less time. While others heeded the reading of their internal barometer and tuned back early.

Who is that sexy guy signing the book? He is soooo cute!
Carl thanks for starting a "blog." Technically you are a Bill Gates, and I feel like a caveman from the Geico TV spots!
Here's the gear I (Ryan) have:
- All personal gear, except poles, snowshoes, and gaiters. I have good leather hiking boots that I used at Whitney in the winter.
- 1-2 person three season tent. Tight fit, but packs small. Probably not a primary pick for a tent.
- Primus technotrail stove. Super small and effecient, but you have to use the Primus fuel bottles. I might have a Whisper Light International in my attic.
- I've got ropes, harnesses, beaners, a helmet, and decent amount of climbing gear. My ropes are a few years old, but only used 3 times. Still good enough for a safety or static line.
- How many people are planning on making the trip? I might have a work conflict, but I'll try to smooth that out this week.
