The four days of 15+hr hiking was really pushing the limit and only very few people even attempted the hard peaks such as McGee, Charybdis, Marion, Deerhorn. Everyone else was looking for easier alternatives.

I'd heard that a plane dumped a load of fire-retardant across the summit sometime in the past, but thought that might be more fiction than truth. Upon closer examination, one can see that indeed something was spilled on the rock that doesn't wash off:
I'd have thought that the fire retardants would be more environmentally friendly, that is, would degrade with time - otherwise we'd have a bunch of orange-painted trees out there, no? Does anybody know more of the story behind this? Just curious...
