Thought the streak was in jeopardy based on how I felt on Saturday, but I managed to get up to the summit in a fairly short amount of time on Sunday...

I'd really start calling the conditions "summer like." A few steps on snow/ice on each side of the mountain, but nothing to worry about.

Here are some highlight photos:


Hey, it's a waterfall again.


Myles and Amy are done with their FA on Keeler Needle so I can't heckle them anymore.


Climber on the East Buttress.


Pretty impressive 6 year-old.


Another of Mark's thermometers reading 58 degrees at Trail Crest.


Trailside Meadow.

I was just going to go up and down the MR but you've changed my mind. Two questions.

How long did it take you from car to car?

What kind of camera are you using?
Mine doesn't do well in the brightness of the sierras mid day.

Thanks and congrats on another summit

I headed up around 5:30am, was on the summit a little before 10:00am and was down at the Store for a Hot Dog at around 2:00pm.

I'm shooting mostly with a Sony NEX-5N.

Thanks.

We're old. Now they are playing xBox and texting.
