Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion Whitney Has Turned into a Overcrowed Catastrophe

This article is about people being UNPREPARED on Whitney and other popular mountains, and the accidents and rescues that result from being UNPREPARED. It's not about crowd size, although there's one mention of an increase in permit applications.

Yes, the title is misleading and could be called "click bait", but the article is actually a pretty decent description of a SAR mission in progress; and also the problems on these "trophy trails" where people don't realize what they're getting into.

Edit
I just noticed if you go to the article and look at the TAB in your browser, you'll see the title is actually, "Too Many Inexperienced People are Climbing Whitney"
