This article was posted on Reddit so I thought I would re-post it here.
Summary: An editor for a hiking magazine ran across a hiker on the Whitney Trail who was sick and struggling. Apparently, after realizing he was getting sick, his hiking partner left him with a plan to carry both backpacks down to the camp and then come back up to help him down. Turns out, he decided not to come back.
