From the San Jose Mercury ( the Murky). The 4 ate 5 peanuts each for breakfast, a little oatmeal for lunch and a spoon of peanutbutter for dinner. This in reagrds to the Bargetto party of 4 that were found. A total of 4 different partys were found and only the 2 Japanese climbers died. The media reports have been so poor, commenting on what was done "right" and how "prepared" some of these people were. In the end they were all just lucky that the weather cleared enough for the copters to locate them. The article in today's Mercury covers all those that were lost and can be found at www.mercurynews.com "Conceding to cooling temperatures, Dominic packed a sweatshirt along with his shorts". Dominic is already planning another hike this weekend. He stated " It's a good experience and I know to bring more things next time". And, yes there is another storm due this weekend.
