made clear in this article that there is a common- sense tenet of mountain wisdom that says if you are hiking with a partner, STAY TOGETHER. We can choose to hike alone but when we choose to hike with others, we share in the risks and responsibilities and our common goal is for everyone to reach the trailhead together at the end of the day.


I'm glad the Whitney Zone fund donated to Inyo SAR instead of the Alabama Hills trail. Both good choices, but safety is paramount and SAR folks put it on the line for us.
