Strange Whitney Trip Report

[zippetydude]

I wonder if there are any long term effects to repeated quick ascents to 14k ft exposure?

Well, I admit I never wore tights and a cape before I went up Mt. Whitney. Does that count?

The visual colored spots and lines maybe minor and entertaining, but the visual blackouts sure seem like oxygen deprivation. I may be on the conservative side, but I'd get checked out by a doctor, just to be on the safe side.

it sounds like an acid trip, of course, i know this only from what i have read in books.
i have had vision disruption, i like to call it, above 13k before. i always thought it had to do with dehydration.
i am glad you got a whitney trip in this year.
you up for c2c october 10th?

There was a 5.1 earthquake near Lone Pine. I wonder how many people were on Whitney.
