Fuzzy's Mt. Whitney Attempt




Ara "Fuzzy" Movsessian was out a couple of weeks ago in the mountains, and was attempting an ascent of Mt. Whitney (14,505 feet!). This peak has become increasingly dangerous (and deadly) as the number of visitors has jumped in recent years. Weather happens fast there, and it can go from sunny and warm to frozen and deadly in minutes. Having begun their climb early, they managed to get to "The Notch" before things went bad. The weather moved in, and the Fuzz and Company heard via their radio that the mountain was being closed down. Already ON the mountain, they were forced to hunker down for the night at The Notch and wait for the storm to pass. This was not his first run up the mountain, and will not be his last!
