Countdown is on...

Well... after weeks of preparation it is finally here!  We will be heading to Mt. Whitney on Friday with mixed emotions.  The weather forecast is not in our favor.  A front is moving in for the weekend brining with it snow, rain and thunder storms.

After much consideration, we have decided to rent crampons and ice axes.  We are all still determined to summit, however will put safety first.  I guess only time will tell...
