Jon and I went up to Lone Pine to give this route a shot.
I have been sick for a few months now (similar to Giardia). Lots of other problems have led to me being out-of-shape and less than motivated, so I ended up having us turn back when we hit the bottom of the ridge.

Jon, and the North Ridge
I have to start training again. My knees have been giving me trouble (running), and my arm (Lightning Couloir) hurts when I climb or use it to any real capacity at times. Anyway.
