Can someone describe the WAG bag/disposal conditions on the other side of the crest, from the JMT/MMWT junction on down to Crabtree? What do hikers do headed in that direction with a full bag? Are people retrieving bags left on the trail? Thanks.
NoBo JMT hikers and EtW HST hikers, etc are told they are not required to bag. I doubt that affects many, however. I wonder how many through hikers start at Whitney these days, compared with the total permits issued?
