January 10, 2026 Ryan Johnson
Would you share a tent with strangers…think twice if it would save lives. Loving this new story illustrated by #lcmartist Ryan Johnson for Los Angeles Times Between A Rock series. This one titled “Strangers needed help near Mt. Whitney’s summit. Would we share our tent on a stormy night? They shared the tent and learned many lessons from. “Five hikers huddled in a tent designed for three during a ferocious lightning storm near Mount Whitney’s 14,500-foot summit in 2013. Two under-prepared climbers’ tent was washed away, forcing them to seek refuge with strangers. The harrowing night taught lessons about mountain preparation, camaraderie in crisis, and why Whitney demands meticulous planning and respect.
