I was puffing a bit and am fairly fit but no real concern. We finished drinking a softdrink at the top and closed the lid on it tightly and when we got to the bottom it was squashed flat. Another guy had a packet of chips expode as we went up so that was cool. Did the night time viewing on the way down and that was great. I would check on rental cars as I was told by our tour guide that companies don't allow their cars to be driven up there. Check that out. It was fantastic and I am sure you will love it.

Haha, yeah. I worked a season at Mammoth Mountain in 2000, and had similar stuff happen.
I'm dead keen to see the Keck telescope too.
