Randall,

Good job for a SE TX flatlander. Nice photos (D300?)

Thanks.  I worked hard to get in shape for it.  Next time I'll be smart enough to get enough sleep.  I'm just using my trusty old D80 which has a sensor that is getting very dirty.  I've either got to send it off for cleaning or get the courage to order a kit and clean it myself.  Too many trips to the beach/desert/mountains/backyard/river.

Randall, nice pics!  You are a better man than I, even back in my prime.  Also having been a flatlander, 12,500' MSL is my limit for potentially enjoyable hiking.

Great report Randell!  So would you believe that on Monday a friend called me and asked if I would be interested in doing Grays Peak next summer.  (Last summer he and I did Mt. Whitney, which is only a few feet higher than Grays).

We're going to do it...and I'll probably pick your brain on tips as we get closer.

Thanks for posting this.
Vince
