Another classic example of why you need to verify info and prepare your own routes. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4027665/

I especially like the article's juxtaposition of the editor's statement "This has never happened before" with the last line of the article: "Trail was criticized by mountain rescue teams last year for claiming three popular hiking routes were snow-free in winter."

And this is the best-selling hiking magazine in the UK? That's pretty scary. <img src="images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />
