Mt. Whitney

 Mountains does not forgive mistakes, even little ones. Our annual Whitney trip did not go well for me this time. It was nice to get out, but no summit just because of 3 AAA batteries. We get a few hours nap at trail head, actually somewhere between lower and upper gates. My flashlight died after 1 hour of hiking, but going up was not that bad.

My high point, ~13000 

I made a conservative decision to turn around early to avoid hiking icy Ebersbacher Ledges in the dark.
