<P>I actually have been on the small trail that goes north and east from the south ridge near White Pass. It is just a waytrail that people use to access meadows and higher basins, I started on it when I was climbing White Peak, but it goes east. He might have gone that way but it does not look like the PCT, and eventually he would have decided that it was not right and would have turned around by now. Was it foggy the morning that he left from White Pass. What were his navigation skills like alone? Was there snow at Fire Creek Pass, elsewhere ? Did he actually know where he was camped tht Monday night Near White Pass?? How capable and aware was he by himself?</P>
