Very good advice, Brandon. It is an echo of advice posted here for years. Unfortunately, if a person doesn't read this forum or get good advice from another source they will continue on in attempts to climb the mountain regardless of their experience and preparation, oblivious to the potential dangers. Unless the USFS makes some effort to brief people and question them before issuing permits, the problem will persist.
