Starting the hike at 2am. Nice light there, Chuck!! Good luck!
At the top!! He yelled, "Drago!!!", when he finished. (From Rocky III)
This is the sunrise around 530am before the 99 switchbacks in Lone Pine. He still had a lot of hiking to go at this point.
Yaaaahhhhhyyyyy!! Chuck did it!! This is the sign you read when you get to the top! He hiked 14,496 feet. He made it to the top in 8 1/2 hours. Roundtrip it was 14.5 hours. Whoohoo!!
Chuck just before the 99 switchbacks. He had about 4 hours to go till he reached the top of Mt. Whitney. Keep it up!
It was this steep and rocky for more than 1/2 the hike on Mt. Dana.
Chuck hiking Mt. Dana. Aw, good job!!
This is Mt. Whitney. Chuck will be hiking the to the top of the peak to the left. Nice view huh?
Chuck at the top of Mt. Dana. He hiked this 13,000 and some feet the second day. On to Mt. Whitney.
