Going To Mt. Whitney! (Round 2)
Friday, February 5, 2010 at 8:16AM ;)
Last summer I was going to Mt. Whitney. Everything was setup and ready to go. I had my new gear, friends to accompany me, and the permits in hand. Unfortunately work changed all of that and I was not able to go. The permits were thrown away, but I decided I would try again next year.
Next year is now upon us all and my eye is set on Mt. Whitney. I just called today and purchased our permits. Currently the team size includes 7 people. Both friends and family are planning on going with me.
One thing different this year occurred when purchasing the permits. Unlike last year, I was able to reserve the exact day to summit Mt. Whitney. There was no shifting of dates because other people took it! I woke up early and everything to make sure we got the dates and it has paid off :).
Now begins round 2 of summiting Mt. Whitney. I have been keeping in shape since last year with my cardio and plan to kick it up a notch as the summer gets closer. I don't see why I wouldn't be going this year and I plan on keeping it that way. There will be no "third times a charm" on this end :).
