"After the first glass, you see things as you wish they were. After the second, you see things as they are not. Finally, you see things as they really are, which is the most horrible thing in the world."

Route Climbed: South Slope Date Climbed: Aug 28, 2004Carillon-Tunnabora-Russell-Whitney-Muir dayhike out of Whitney Portal. Russell-Carillon Col via the Rockwell Variation was a bit of a slog--I wish I'd thought to try Cleaver Col.
Tunnabora took longer than I was expecting from Russell-Carillon Col, too--the peak is only a mile from the col, but it manages to squeeze a surprising amount of talus and sand into that distance!
