High on the Mountian Top


High on the Mountian Top, originally uploaded by SiLver sKY.

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.
