Another rest top before the Pass. Climbing today has been much easier than yesterday. Jan is having a little back trouble, but not serious. Met young couple going up (dressed very yuppie) to Bishop Pass. They had come over knapsack pass so they were not wimps. Could not help notice that the girl was wearing a huge diamond ring at least 1 ½ carats. Hope it doesn't get cut up on the rocks.
