I am setting up this blog to journal my excursion to Mt.Whitney. I will be joining five other women on this adventure to summit the highest peak in the contiguous United States

"The Mountain"




Mt.Whitney Trail
   Elevation 14,497'




BUST!

Well... I am so sad to say that we were unable to summit.  The weather turned on us and made for very dangerous climbing conditions. We were able to make it to the Trail Camp at just over 12,000' and were able to see the peak of MT.Whitney for a few moments before the clouds and snow moved in.  We camped at just over 10,000' and woke up to fresh snow.

Even thought we didn't summit, this was an absolute amazing trip.  I enjoyed every moment of this and am so proud to have had the opportunity to do so with such wonderful girls.  

 I am waiting for the pictures so I can post our trip.   Stay tuned!
