Looking Back to 1975....

In 1975, I was with a couple of folks who decided to "climb" Mt. Whitney, the highest peak in the USA (excepting Alaska's Mt. McKinley, now often known as Denali Peak). At well over 14,450 ft. high, it exceeds any of the Colorado Rockies, and anything else in North America not in Alaska.



Anyway....



To make the very long story very short, here is a photo of my tent, somehow on the summit. There were so many boulders....I dunno how I did that. There are many associated tales to tell....but this is just a photo....must be worth nearly a thousand words....? I have been to the summit more times since then, but that one time....was very special. I spent the night on the top. It was very, very, cool.
