Whitney W Member Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 14 Illinois	Would any of you that were up on the MR last weekend or in the last little bit be willing to help me with a project that I am working on (especially some of you regulars)? I have been collecting data for the last six months or so, and I only need about 20 more people who have done either the MR or some of the other routes, like the East Face or East Buttress to have enough data for my research. I am looking at perceived risks and benefits associated with climbing Mt. Whitney. It would take about 20-30 minutes of your time. During the process you could vicariously be on the mountain all over again (what a benefit!). I appreciate your help. Please email me and I will give you the full details. whcward@indiana.edu Thanks for your help. Whitney Ward
