She was just below Little Round Valley campground about 4:10pm. Sunsets about 5:40 so no chance of making the tram by then.

You forgot to set your clocks back! Sunset today is 4:43. Or in about 10 minutes.

I'd guess ETA between 7:30 and 8 o'clock.

It's going to be a long day that's for sure. Being dark already, I'll be glad to see her on the other side of the saddle. Go Ellen!

You're probably right. I was just trying to give her the benefit of the doubt.

Just so long as she makes it before 9:45. I hope she's not planning on driving home after this. Maybe someone is PS can give her a place to crash besides the summit hut.

Ellen has reached the Saddle. Gawd I hope she doesn't decided to summit before heading down.

That's what I was thinking too. But I doubt if she wants to spend another night in her hut...

I thought someone was meeting her there. But if you get that far, you've got to go to the summit. I was there before dark last year but still...
