It is a dangerous place.
Cold and wet with high winds is a recipe for hypothermia.
A service acquaintance of mine went on to retire, achieve legendary status amongst his peers and was quite active in The Great Outdoors, I think they found him up in Idaho or Wyoming and he was next to a tree. He’d been out skiing and the weather must have abruptly turned and he sought shelter next to a tree and expired. Apparantly there was no indicatation that he was broken or wounded before he sought shelter.
“The clock of life is wound but once, and no man has the power to tell just when the hands will stop, at late or early hour. Now is the only time you own. Live, love, toil with a will. Place no faith in time. For the clock may soon be still.”
Few years ago we took the Cog Train up Mt. Washington in June. Incredible forces of winds converge at the top where they have the tourist/information center. Really hard to walk up there. Like Hurricane winds. About rips your coat, hat off of you. Little to no wind going up on the Cog but as soon as you arrive at the top, man incredible.
