Here's more information about him and the trip:
"I'm a 59 year old man looking for a partner to backpack Kearsarge Pass to Whitney Portal this summer. I'm an experienced backpacker in good shape. My cousin was supposed to go with me but he had to drop out. I've asked around, put up a sign at my gym. I've been unable to find a web site for older backpackers looking for hiking partners. I'm considering going alone, but it is not something I generally recommend to others.
"It's frustrating being the only one in your circle still fit enough. I live in Marin County, but I don't care where the other person is from. I don't even care about gender (I'm in a committed relationship) but I understand no woman would be advised to go into the mountains with a man she didn't know, so as a matter of practicality I'm looking for another man."
According to Susan, he does not have a permit yet, but a large percentage are given out "first come, first served" at the ranger station. He hopes to do his hike the second week in early July, but is open to modifying that plan.
If you're interested in joining him, or know someone else who might be, e-mail Dick.
