I am back from my trip and surprisingly did not die from the numerous perils.
I will try to make my way up to Bishop soon (with Bishop). You have one choice...
1. Beat me up there and let me wallow in my own shame like a big stinky old sow.
haha - good work Grachman! |

Neither yours, nor Grachman's is a first ascent. Give the man his due, and let him earn his glory in peace, then all hail his achievement. |

Yup, just friendly in my usual roundabout way.
I know that usually skulls aren't considered ultra friendly - but that one is just soo very cool.

| Congrats on surviving the WCT:) I have declared war on the mountain so I don't think anyone will be able to beat me now. |

haha.
Secretly I suspect Grachman will get there first. I am pretty tired from my trip and have had my fill of hiking for at least a few days - I also have to free myself some geeky time to concoct a good trip report. |

Very sensible :) I promise not to making any attempts while you are in your recovery period.(hehe)
As Mick mentioned, it would be a great two day hike if you camped at Vicar lake. |

| I was on the summit of Mt Bishop between 12:20 and 1:00pm today. I was looking over my shoulder the whole way up. Thought for sure someone was going to me a run for my money. |
