Years ago I was flying the White Mountain side and saw a sailplane way below me flying a straight line heading north. I realized that while I was trying to stay as high as possible, he didn't need to. Never did see it make a turn and then it was gone from sight... Thanks for the tour of the other side of the valley - nicely done.

Very cool. How do you use a drop streamer ? O’ve never seen one before.

Nice flight. Site record is only 255. Start early, stay high, go far.

No oxygen at that height? Beatiful flight!

You can just about cope with occasional highs on the Sierras without O2, but if you cross to the Whites and keep getting high, it'll catch up with you, and hypoxia really takes the edge off the tail end of the flight - nausea, ears buzzing, maybe even vision affected. My O2 ran out on the Whites and I had to stay below 13000 once I got out of the valley to the north.
