Your Palisade traverse mini-epic sounds like ours early last month; our near epic was also on the way back from Sill, except that we exited via North Fork Big Pine.
Congratulations on your Angeles Crest 100 attempt. I'm sure you're not exactly happy with DNF but it's a major accomplishment just to be ready for an event like that as I'm sure you were. A write-up on that would make a good story too.
re: AC100 Thanks, I had a tenuous race season that year with bouts of TFL tendonitis. After working with a running coach for a few months I felt pretty strong going into AC only to be shut down by ITBS starting at mile 26. That's the way it goes. I don't think I am biomechanically equipped to run anything over 50 miles, plus I have way more fun climbing.

Re: Nice reportThank you. I'm looking forward to another great year of alpine routes (maybe not quite so prolific).
