Altitude sickness necessitates rescue on Mt. WhitneyAt 2 p.m. on Dec. 12, Inyo County Search and Rescue was called out for a hiker at 13,600 feet in elevation on Mt. Whitney. According to Inyo SAR, the hiker was experiencing severe symptoms of Acute Mountain Sickness and was unable to hike down, therefore his hiking partner called for help using the SOS-function of his satellite messenger device.
Apologies for the instability. I'm still working on phpBB extensions, and have broken the code multiple times.
