Dang, must have been rough keeping your mind straight. Props!

Not really for me. I have always been alone in my life in one way or another so I am very comfortable being alone. And since being in the Sierra is so peaceful I never get tired of being out there. I do have to say though that it's just more fun with other people.

In terms of mental fatigue the closest I have come is in the last 2 weeks of this trip there were many days where I just felt tired of working all the time. Getting up every day and hiking over demanding terrain. I certainly did not want to go home but setting up a base camp for awhile and just taking a break from the grind would have been nice.

Now I have to climb Clyde. I had no idea there was a relatively easy route on any of the Minarets - all these years I just assumed it was all class 5 up there.

Yeah Clyde is a good one. Unless I am wrong it's one of the longest sustained class 3 climbs in the Sierra. It has plenty of short vertical class 3 sections but is fairly easy. Mostly stable rock.

Well this does it. All finished with the photos. I just need to add the maps for a few weeks and if I get around to editing some videos I can upload those.
