We all know that a WAG bag is required in the Whitney Zone; however, I am curious as to what is a hiker to do when only travelling through the zone. For example, a hiker is entering the backcountry via Trail Crest. The hiker uses the WAG bag at Trail Camp and then travels the next several days in the backcountry. Does the hiker carry the bag until exiting?
The second example, much like the first is a hiker hiking in the backcountry and climbs Whitney, after spending a night at Guitar Lake and using the WAG bag. What becomes of the WAG bag?
Just curious for comments.
