Over the weekend, Jarod summited the tallest peak in the lower 48! (Thats 14,505 ft--and in the middle of JANUARY, of all months to choose) Although mountaineering isn't exactly Jarod's forte... and by that, I mean, he tells me it's not challenging enough for him (what?!?!) Ha. He says, "You basically just have to keep walking, Brooke." WELL, I am still impressed and I know he had a good time. And, some of these photos are a bit more precarious that just "walking". My crazy husband, he has one deep, "need for high-risk" cup.
These photos were taken by Andrew Summerset. He is a friend of Jarod's who is climbing multiple 14-ers across the nation, and who invited Jarod on this trip.
A little photo recap of his trip last weekend:
Mt. Whitney is the large peak on the right.
They camped up there two nights. Remember the fab yellow tent? :)
I would like to call to everyone's attention that Jarod does not have an ice axe (necessary for all mountaineering trips). What he does have (and is using) is a tent pole found en route. Hmm. Safe. What?!?!
I love these views of the Eastern Sierras.
Summit!
