"As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty, and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life - so I became a scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can meet girls."

Re: Inspirational!Thanks! It was a great day out and late May seems to be the perfect time to do it. You'll enjoy this route.

Great Trip ReportDid something similar back in the 1990s - Irvine-Mallory-LeConte. If you do go back its easier to do Irvine first, then traverse over to Mallory; its tough to downclimb the west side of Mallory when you haven't been up it. Once again, good job!
