OK, so I had posted on an “interactive” travel/adventure segment that I was going to attempt hiking Mt. Whitney in one day and much to my glee and utter surprise, I DID it!  Thank you all those who shared tips and encouragement; you were merciful!  Not a one of you ordered me to video myself [...]

OK, so this next destination is not so much “travel” as “adventure”.  This is how I must view an attempt at climbing Mt.
