hiked up Mt. Nebo, almost 12,000 feet, we had to bury the tents because of the high winds. We started around 5,000 ft, camped at 10, 400. Started hiking around 4:30 am, the next day, but could not avoid the very high winds, sunrise from the south peak, looking toward the north peak. Snowshoes to 10,400, crampons after that. I ran out of food, luckily mike gave me cheese and chocolate at the summit. Hiking to camp with 45 lbs was tough, hiking to 12,000 without a pack was a relatively easy. Note to self, always hire a sherpa.
