Bob Rockwell got SeKi to work on the sign(s) a few years ago, but when I was there a few weeks ago, they sure didn't make the best sense to me, either. They could sure use some improvement.
Years past, I've even written that there should be a STOP sign just a few yards down the JMT toward the west side with text explaining that this is NOT the route to Whitney Portal.
Mr Alderman is not the first, and probably not the last to end up that way. He was descending in an icy cold storm, probably about 6 PM. Who knows if he even saw any signs at the intersection? It would be really good if he could share what actually occurred. The most important thing, though, is that his partner left him at the summit and hurried down without him.
