High Sierra Camps

In the morning we are off on the loop of all five camps, going to Glen Aulin first, then May Lake, Sunrise, Merced Lake, and Voglesang (about a 4,000ft climb from Merced Lake).

So we'll be out of touch until the evening of the 1st. We are all packed and acclimated to the altitude after being here at 9,000+ft for four nights. The scenery will be beautiful. Get ready for some good photos.

There's hope for all of us. We had breakfast with two young climbers this morning and thy had just climbed Whitney (14,000) They said they took the climbers route and summited around 12:30 midnight in a hail storm. They were pretty beat up. When they crawled up to the summit there sat a 70 yr old man saying welcome to the top boys! Truly an old goat! A good goal for us. DB
