thanks josh, it was one of those personal o2 canisters you see in the rei catalogs. homegirl was feelin the tude and needed a pick me up, it went something like this:
GIRL1 already at pikers: "Good Job TIRED TINA, how do you feel"
tina gasping for dear life "We're not at the top yet!!!?!!?!?!"
grrl1 "almost, do you need some oxygen?"
I glance at cletus in awe, and so hope they are joking... yet
tina "yeah that woudl be great"
grrl1 pulls out the inhaler, and hands it over while saying "don't use all of it, we still have to go to the summit"
i knew it was time to exit stage, SW at that point
