Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion Mono SAR rescues ultra-marathoners.

Ken,

Those two guys are obviously the exception to the rule. The majority of backpackers would not be in same category as those "super-hikers".

Since one of the reasons for the existence of this forum is to provide (hopefully) knowledgeable advice to potential Mt. Whitney hikers, it is important that any advice given will help them succeed and survive.

Your obvious emphasis on going ultra-ultra light can be potentially misleading to neophyte hikers looking for advise from experienced forum posters, and as such should to be taken with a very large grain of salt.

You would do this forum a great service if you would kindly STFU about your ultra-light obsession.
