Here are 12 exposures (vertical) with my OM-D E-M1 and 12-40 f/2.8 PRO lens.
Stitched together in PSCC. Manual exposures: ISO: 200, f/4.5, SS: 1/1000.

This was from Wednesday, July 15, 2015. There are eight people in the panorama. All on the right side. There is one young man taking a photo at the edge of the solid surface, there is a couple standing together at the rim, there is one hiker on his way up, there is a group of three people sitting down and, finally, there's my brother sitting by himself looking at his pack. He was much faster than I was. He's 15 months younger than I am (He's 71, I'm 72) but has been a mountain climber and is in much better shape than most 30 year old kids.

This was the second time I've done this hike. It's not technical but, for me, it's a tough hike. I did it in 2013 when I was 70 but the sky was full of smoky haze from forest fires in Oregon at that time (July 31, 2013) that I couldn't get the shots I wanted. This time was MUCH better. My first time took me 9 1/2 hours to do the entire hike. This time I did it in 8 hours, 3 minutes. (Does this mean I'll beat all records when I'm 90? :D .
