I felt great until a while before the summit of Langely. I took my RX migraine pill to knock out the headache I started to get, and also took some RX painkiller. The painkiller was great at first, but I think it made the altitude sickness about a billion times worse. Felt better as we went further down, until a few miles from the car when it got even worse. Finally felt good when we got into Lone Pine.
Fiddled around with a Pine Borer Beetle that Patrick found in the Carl's Jr parking lot. Flipped it over a few times and it screamed at me a lot. Crazy little bastards.
Thanks for waiting up for me while I felt like I was being run over by trucks, guys.

Cirque East Face. We ended up hiking up the north slope/face. I tried to stick somewhat close to the north ridge, but it was rather loose. Not San Gabriel loose with little rocks and short falls, but big loose with oh-shit moments kinda stuff.

Headwall. Wonder if there are any/many routes up it? Bully Pulpit is the little diving board up top.

Gimme a break. Those who supposedly want peace so badly create conflict by crossing out stickers for Military units. Grow up.
