Who: 62-year-old Dr. Wieslaw E. Walczak
Where: Tuckerman Ravine Trail, Mt. Washington, New Hampshire
His mistake: Don’t know. It was just a fall
What happened: A man went on a hike alone on the Tuckerman Ravine Trail on Mt. Washington. The man’s wife said a solo hike through these mountains wasn’t uncommon since the man was an experienced outdoorsman and familiar with the area.
The man didn’t return from his day hike, so his wife reported him overdue. The New Hampshire Fish and Game department launched a search and rescue mission. The next morning, search teams found the man at the bottom of the ravine. Authorities said all signs lead to an accidental fall. Authorities also said that a combination of wind, fog, moisture and cold temperatures can create extremely dangerous weather on the mountain. It is unclear what caused the man’s fall.
