Hiking the Sierra Nevada, 1974...oops, 1975 actually




I spent a whole week on the Mount Whitney trail back in 1975, just about to turn eighteen years old. On the third day, I spent the night on the summit of that 14, 496 ft. mountain peak. It was unbelievably eventful. This photo is of me, hiking down from the summit, on day four. You do not need need a whole week to do this stuff. Go see my earlier blog entry on that...but it was a great time. The photo...it was my first time to the top of that peak. I was to do three more summit journeys, one time in only 11 hours.
