Woo hoo, we did it!


Justdropin' and I climbed Mt. Langley, 14,027'! We had an amazing trip up to Langley and back into Miter Basin in Sequoia National Park... the scenery and weather and the entire experience was fabulous! Just got back last night and still adjusting... Will post a trip report and more pics later :)

Mt Whitney
jvz - Mt Whitney is the highest point on the right side of the picture. I believe Mt Hale is blended into it in thee picture, and Mt Mallory is at the top of the ridgeline extending up from the blue parkaed persons (Bearcrossing?) arm pit (sorry about that BC, but needed a reference point!)

Hey, Sequoia, congrats on your accomplishment :-) Isn't Justdropin' the sweetest (and quietest) guy?

Justdropin' is a great guy, and yes, fairly quiet, but when he does talk he's halarious!
