Thanks for sharing that post. I feel like many of these bad experiences seem to involve trying to exit a hike/adventure via an unscouted route, versus the one traveled in on. I know I've done the same more than once, but so far have been lucky ...
One thing I can't wrap my head around is all the people we've been reading about putting themselves into dire straits by doing these hikes in July & August. As someone born and raised in the desert it goes against so much I consider to be common sense. It also doesn't hurt that forever in the back of my mind is the memory of the two horrible times I caught heatstroke as a youth.
Hope everyone is staying frosty out there.
