Eight more hikers (two of the groups of four) have been rescued....That just leaves the four whitney hikers and the solo hiker in the inyo forest.

Here are a few followup articles. Two Japanese climbers died
on El Capitan. Note the four missing Mt. Whitney hikers -- since
they were taking a "four day" route, they may well have been on the PCT,
via Horseshoe Meadow.

As long as I live, I'll hear waterfalls and birds and winds sing. I'll interpret the rocks, learn the language of flood, storm, and the avalanche. I'll acquaint myself with the glaciers and wild gardens, and get as near the heart of the world as I can.
