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

Trying to fit a square peg into a round hole!


Packing Check List:
-crampons... CHECK
-ice axe      ... CHECK
-ability to use them... QUESTIONABLE
(however I did watch a video 0n how to self arrest)

Just finished packing, not an easy task!  Due to the weather conditions on the mountain, I had to include "snow gear" in addition to all the other necessities. This was like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole!  In the end it all fits and could possibly weigh more than I do. (should make for a fun hike tomorrow)

The adventure begins 5:00AM TOMORROW!!!
