Hey cats, day three. Eight peaks down. Started at 4:36 this morning and topped out at 9:26am on [Mt.] Russell. So, eight down, six to go. Two more today, Whitney and Muir, and then back to the car. No bivy!

It's quite windy up here, so I'm out of here. Too cold to hang around. Call you from the top of Whitney. Cheerio.
