The one time I hiked in the GC was in college with a group from our Wilderness Program. Came across a gentleman who had blown out his knee, and his young son, probably a little over halfway down. They were under-prepared as far as layers and water, and were clearly not going to make it out unassisted, and we had no way of contacting rangers. You bet your ass we turned around right there and helped them evac. Several of us were WFA/WFRs, but that's irrelevant; if someone on trail needs help, you fucking help them.
Was it a bummer not making it to the bottom as planned? Of course. But, you don't just fucking leave someone, especially in extreme weather and without a way of contacting aid. Fuck this bitch and the high hiking horse she rode in on.
