I guess this news is in time for Justin's planning.

Three California hikers found, but two more missing
(CNN) -- Three experienced hikers were rescued from California's Mount
Whitney, but a father and son in a separate group are missing, the National
Park Service said.
Battling heavy snow, rescue personnel and a California National Guard
helicopter reached the three men around noon (3 p.m. ET) Thursday.
The men were part of a group of 10 hikers who set out on their journey up
the mountain on Monday.
About 45 people looked for the three hikers -- Phillip Michael Abraham, 34;
Dale Clymens, 45, and Stevan James Filips, 45 -- the National Park Service
said in a statement.
All three were able to walk and move during a general health assessment.
Two other hikers on a 36-mile cross-country loop were supposed to return
Tuesday.
They are Sinh Baghsohi, 27, and his father, whose first name is unknown,
park officials said. Both men are originally from Iran, but their current
residences are not known. The younger Baghsohi is 6 feet, 5 inches tall and
weighs about 287 pounds. His father is 6 feet tall and weighs 180 pounds.
They had hiked in with a friend, who became ill and hiked out, the park
service said.
Dave Paladino, an Omaha, Nebraska, resident and leader of the larger group,
said extreme weather dumped up to three feet of snow and drastically lowered
visibility in Sequoia and Kings Canyon national parks.
The group of 10 hikers shared a love of climbing, outdoor activities and
adventure, Paladino said.
They set out on their hike shortly after 4 a.m. Monday in several sub-groups
, including one led by Paladino and another including all three missing
hikers.
"Every single one had been training for this event for years," said Paladino.
The snow began for Paladino's group when they reached 10,000 feet up what he
called the "10-mile hill," and picked up significantly as they went up
another 2,000 feet. His group reached the summit around 3:30 p.m. Monday,
staying briefly at a shelter there before going back down the mountain.
The climb back down was much more difficult than expected, according to
Paladino, due to the heavy snow.
"It was by far the hardest thing we've ever done," said Paladino, who said
he has climbed Mount Rainier in Washington state, among other peaks.
At one point, his group met and talked briefly with the climbers who later
went missing. Abraham later sent several texts, the last of which was
between 4 a.m. and 6 a.m. Tuesday in which they said they couldn't find the
trail because of the snow and were heading to the summit shelter.
The three climbers did not have snow shoes, said Paladino. However, they
likely had enough food and water to last several days, he said. Temperatures
near the mountain's peak were in the 20s, Paladino added, not low enough to
make frostbite a major concern.
A rescue operation involving two hikers was begun and aborted Wednesday
because of the snow. On Thursday morning, "bigger and more experienced teams
" were brought in, said Paladino.
"We wanted to do this," said Paladino. "These guys were doing what they
loved, and we'll continue to do what we love."

They left trailhead at 4 AM and didn't reach summit until 3:30 PM which
means the snow condition was pretty bad. From the news it looks like snow
is present significantly beyond 12,000 ft which is also where the most
difficult part of Mt Langley start.
The thing is accident seems to happen a party left the group, had the whole
group stayed together, I don't think this could have happened.

Looks like the accumulation snow is up to 3 feet.
"More than 45 people, including the Natonal Park Service, Inyo County
Sheriff’s Office personnel, the California National Guard and Yosemite
Search and Rescue have been assigned to the effort, which continued to be
hampered by driving winds and snow accumulations of up to 3 feet."

看来,雪天爬山一定要带GPS和足够的电池,才有可能在大雪掩埋trail的时候重新找到
来时的路。

带充电电池可能还不行,会被冻住
碱性电池会好一些

I agree, but I guess a topo map and a convention compass is essential. It
looks like the guys strangled there doesn't have a GPS or it was out of
batteries, they can't find the trail so they stayed inside the hut instead,
but at least they have enough food.

不要迷信GPS,
NAVIGATION和pathfinding 决不是靠器材就能保证的,
