George, it is good to hear a park rangers point of view. Thank you.
Bee, I Googled NPR news, and their on-line article is the same one as the MSNBC article above. Were they also discussing it on the radio?
I am glad your emergency situation turned around. But this summer, two other hikers died at lower elevations than yours from AMS, one out of Horseshoe Meadows, and the other just over Paiute pass. Anyone delirious at altitude probably should be evacuated.
