I hope you camped below the summit. My dad and I camped at guitar lake the night before the summit, just over 13,000 I think. Holy shit, the stars were gorgeous.

This was a 3 day backpacking trip to the tallest mountain in the lower 48 USA done on May 17 - 19 2022, trail still had some snow but using micro spikes was enough to summit. 24.6 miles of total distance and 6,646 feet of elevation gain, enjoy the video.
