Koip Peak - Ansel Adams Wilderness 7.5.14

A day hike to Koip Peak. A long day hike from the Mono Pass Trailhead in Yosemite NP to Koip Peak in the Ansel Adams Wilderness. About 20 miles with 4000' gain/loss. I felt good in the morning, but by the time I reached the summit at noon I was dead on my feet and feeling the effects of not sleeping the night before and going from 1,500' above sea level to almost 13,000' above sea level in 13 hours. It took me a long time to get to the summit (7 hours), and then a long time to get back to the trailhead (6 hours). This was the first time I almost fell asleep while walking. Still, it was very beautiful out there, but way too little snow for this time of year.
