The genesis of this forum was that the collected wisdom of Versatile Fred and others was removed from another site.
So this forum is biased towards collecting/disseminating information as a resource. And we are good at it. I think our Mission Statement is "How Not To Die On Whitney"
An example: Some weeks ago somebody queried the state of the switchbacks - inside a few minutes someone posted a day-old picture of the exact area.
And don't forget the webcam. That's realtime information.
However, if you remember the three fall-divers at Emerald Pool disregarding the signs, then you come to the conclusion that you can't fix stupid.
However, if by some combination of luck & skill, those three had survived, I'm fairly sure they would be teaching noobs to read and obey the signs...
