One of the hikers that was with this group is reporting they had plenty of water and some statements that don't add up to what I saw... She is correct that the news doesn't have the story 100%, but I have to say I am impressed at how correct the news reports have been.
Regardless, this poor kids core temp was 41.8C (107.3F if my math is right) on arrival at the hospital... after active cooling with ice packs, cold water and cool IV fluids in the field.
We run an ridiculous amount mountain rescue calls during the summer on these "city parks". You would be surprised how many people you see out there with no water or how many dogs have been killed on the mountain.
