Extremely valuable information. Thank you for posting it. Had I read vital information such as this I would have most likely had a different experience on my recent day hike on Whitney. Communication as a whole seems to be one of a few key factors missing before, during and after my hike with the person I went with. And remember, and it's true from my own experience, SAR states the following:

"If you must separate, be very clear about how, when, and where to meet, and what the expectations are".

Do not leave people behind, especially on Mt Whitney.
