Hey Kurt its been awhile, yes I miss those Baldy hikes.
I cant do what I used to do and I should know better leaving the beach area arriving in Lone Pine in the evening, hrs later starting up the mountain to go to 14,000ft. This was the first time I thought I was going to get sick then my head was spinning but I kept going until I said to Rich I better not go up that last ridge up there...Hoping to go back up in Sept.
See you somewhere

Yeah sounds like you made a smart decision. The East Ridge of Russell is an awesome route. It'll be there for another day (or two :)).
We should get the band back together and do a Baldy hike. I'll be down in November doing slideshows at Adventure 16 stores. Friday Nov 4 would be a good day for one
