Sad news. The John Muir Trail area and Mt. Whitney are incredibly beautiful -
And dangerous this time of year.
I’ve solo’d the area during warm summer, but never during winter period of Nov - May.
This solo alpine hiker is the third fatality in as many years.
Unfortunately not all hikers learn from these needless tragedies.

What part of “buddy system” and “let people know where & when you’ll be” did he not understand?

What part of buddy system
Yep, there's another thread about a lone hunter who broke his leg and crawled for four days before he was eventually found.........

The Coroner can’t determine the the cause of death yet?

No one should ever hike in a wilderness area alone.

No one should ever hike in a wilderness area alone.My first thought was, "Never go alone. Never go alone. Never go alone!", but...had he had a hiking buddy in this instance, wouldn't the chances that they BOTH got buried be pretty high?

What part of âbuddy systemâWhile I would agree with this 99.9% of the time, wouldn't having a buddy in this case resulted in BOTH being buried?

No one should ever hike in a wilderness area alone. In this case, probably two people would have died in the avalanche. Safe spaces sometimes only exist in a campus fantasy world.
To: dware
Good point. Still, I do think that having at least one other person along increases the chances of survival, regardless of the challenge.

The correct answer would have been stay at home with a little brie and wine and a long soak in a hot tub. Very safe.

Why not? It’s part of a free life. Probably saferr than living in NYC.

Voof, that’s really gonna put a crimp in my plans next winter.
I’m planning to camp at Robber’s Roost and ride the Glenn Springs Loop on my singlespeed mountain bike. Again.
All that stuff is in a place called the Big Bend. Brewster County, TX. Very remote, very hostile, very quiet at night and the most beautiful skies I ever saw except up north of Gothic, CO, one night. On another lone roam.
