Re: Camp Shots
Circa 1982. Youth doing stupid things. Cooking dinner on southern flank of Mt Langley @ 13,800’, late January. Air temp: -6°F (day time), wind speed: ~45mph. Friend in red, Moi in dark green(?), NF V-25 3P, orange, to the right. A sun downer wind swept in, caused chaos for about 2 hours. We seriously considered a Plan B dinner of pop tarts, salami & cheese on crackers, Irish coffees - but we so stupid! The moon chased away the wind, and we enjoyed a still, starry night, ski/walk to the summit, moonlight making the snow sparkle like a field of diamonds. Moonlit Owens Valley vista in winter was magical. Was one of the most memorable winter camping experiences.

Re: Camp Shots
Whitney summit camp, July 1988. First time up there for me. Cold and wet after a late storm, but it was worth it.
