Would you know or be able to find out if your friends were able to make it to the trail junction (ie skip CR) which would allow us to follow the trail to the south of CR following Sunrise Creek and meeting up with the JMT near LYV? (Sounds like it’s time to start contingency planning)

He was in agony and completely focused on the pain and lack of dexterity. It was hard to watch, and impossible to alleviate. We had his core temp handled while hiking, but it didn't help. We've seen occasional moments where it hit him just a little and left us wondering, but this was by far the worst yet.
As a sufferer, do you have any solutions medically, or advice on the best gloves that can keep his fingers warm and dry, but still allow him to manipulate small objects?
My girlfriend has severe Raynauds, and I've watched her fingers go almost completely black when the temps are only in the 50s. She just suffers through it. It's frightening. She's told me that she's heard that adding cayenne pepper to your food is supposed to help by increasing your blood flow and metabolic rate, but she has no taste for it.
Whatever other thoughts you can share would be very much appreciated!
Phil wrote:Hey Steve,
Yeah, there was a lot of snow. It was doable though, but with everything going on with the kid, my choices in how to handle the situation went to nil.
I was looking forward to meeting up with you guys, but what bummed me out the most was not getting a read on the snow cover past the Murphy Creek junction. You saw what was above that. Was it about the same? I need to get his situation sorted out, and then do it all over again next week...successfully this time!
