High in the Sierra Nevada Mt. Whitney climbs to just shy of 15,000 ft. In the summer of 2006 I left Malibu and set off to reach the peak of this monster. After 12 hours of continuous climbing I reached the top to watch a storm roll in. It stayed on top of top of me until I made it to my car at the trail head.
Climbing to the top was one of hardest things I have ever done. Coming from sea level and making a summit attempt was a lot of altitude to absorb. By the time I reached the top I could hardly see and my head was pounding. I am still here however alive and well.
