I was waiting to read that one of the boys took the rose pedals back up to the summit for her.

Come on Salty, its a good story of people helping people, despite the embellishment by the reporter.

However, the story raised a question in my mind about why our hero was left on the mountain in bad weather without the rest of the group. Sure, he's a 23-yr old Eagle scout, but nonetheless, the back side of Whitney is not a good place to split up a group in a thunderstorm. Just saying, for others to consider.
