I wish I could do that with you. I will be doing my best to walk up to 7500 ft. Diablo Mountain and 8944 ft. Salmon Mountain, next month. You do have crampons, don't you? I did Hood without them, but would never try it again.

I'm heading up to Whitney on Friday. Just got my permit. Gonna take my time....I am going to do my acclimitization on the mountain. First night will be at 10k feet, second night at 12k feet, summit on third day and then return to 12k for one more night on the mountain before heading back. I've gotta say the altitude has been getting to me. We did a little, and I stress little, hike up at the Maroon Bells. Elevation at Maroon Lake is 9580'. We climbed maybe another 750' and I was pure winded and tuckered out. Rode the bike up to Independence Pass yesterday at 12,100' and I could feel the lack of O2 for sure. I'm at about 9200' right now in Silverthorne. Be sure to post your SPOT link and be safe.
