the excitement in the air is electric

September 7th, 2007 by nebhead

Monkey Face, Smith Rock, ORI got an e-mail from my brother last night asking if I had pictures from various rock climbing hot-spots in the U.S. including Mt. Whitney, Yosemite and Smith Rock. He’s working on the art for his article on a major travel website. I poured through my photo archive looking for pictures of the specific climbs and could only come up with a few. I had several of Monkey Face at Smith Rock so I picked a choice photo and provided that to him (which he said may have a good chance to actually make it on the site – woot!). I also skimmed through the Whitney trips looking for a good picture of the Keeler Needle. No such luck with that search. But looking at all those pictures of the previous 2004 Whitney trip got me really excited about the upcoming trip. The scenery is beautiful, and is like no other hike I’ve ever experienced.

I “re-posted” the pictures from our 2004 Mt. Whitney Expedition here. You may not get the same kind of rush from looking at these that I did, but if you’re one of seven folks in our crew that hasn’t been on the Whitney trail before, I hope this spurs some anticipation excitement.
