I expect that unless he bought a hike safe card, he is going to be writing a check to F&G

Yet every few months they're plucking another one off the mountain.
I assume because his car was on the other side. I hope that thought crossed his mind, but obviously, the choice was made to head towards the car. If I were him, I would have just followed the tracks, reasoning that the tracks can't possibly be too steep anywhere, and even if there was a bridge, it would be clear of trains.Why didn't the hikers tell him to hike down the road and why couldn't he figure that out on his own?
Gee, what would be the safest and easiest way down?
Glad he made it out safely.
Quite a bit more....NHF&G averages 180 missions a year based on the past three years or so. Not all are on Washington of course, but quite a few are. I've got a jar of peanut butter that says they break 200 missions this year. Any takers?
I meant Washington specifically and incidents of the "clueless" variety, not legitimate accidents by prepared hikers. But yes it seems like an almost daily occurence nowadays. I just can't wrap my head around how/why a person would just go climb a mountain without any thought to what to bring or how you're going back and forth.
Curious why anyone well prepared would leave anyone so unprepared out there on their own. Wonder if the case for negligence should be extended here?
I assume you mean the two hikers that pointed him down Nelson Crag.
If that is the direction we're going with the negligence thing, then don't expect so much as a "hello" from me as you pass. I'll be the guy pretending not to see you...
