Ascent Trip Report

my daughter got altitude sick soon after starting hiking, and, since I was carrying my <1 year old son too, we turned back. Luckily the old 4x4 I'd driven to the trailhead started, since the engine died the night before as I pulled into the trailhead parking after which I simply put up the tent, had us sleep the night, and began hiking without trying it the next morn.
