[pct-l] Up date on Lost Hikers

[CMountainDave at aol.com (CMountainDave@aol.com)]

It would be interesting to know if any of them carried any crampons. I'm 
betting not. Very few people in S. Cal would own them. Would be one of those 
anticipation things, since most of them had most likely hiked those trails before 
not thinking that ice would be a problem. Gotta be versatile and anticipate 
problems before hand and LISTEN when experienced rangers warn you about potential 
problems. They weren't saying not to go, but to consider the conditions. 
Crampons, even instep ones, would most likely have saved their lives. But hey, 
Monday morning quarterbacking is easy
