"After the first glass, you see things as you wish they were. After the second, you see things as they are not. Finally, you see things as they really are, which is the most horrible thing in the world."

Route Climbed: Via the Whitney Trail Date Climbed: Aug. 12, 2001This was a freebie on Day 9 of the Sierra Emblem Challenge 2001. After 9 days of climbing I was feeling highly acclimatized and stopped to climb this peak on my way to Mt. Whitney. Well worth it just for the fun class 3 scramble on the summit blocks.
