Watching their progress this afternoon. They took my recommendation and tried the Whitney Creek shortcut. Progress from the HST up has been slow -- they must be carrying heavy packs.
Yesterday's message mentioned bad pain: sciatica and plantar fasciitis. Not good on a hike!
The SPOT unit has been sending some erratically inaccurate locations, but others show they are on the correct route.
Update: They managed to find the route, and reached the hidden packer camp about 7 PM. They had a looong day. I think they are trying for Whitney tomorrow.
