I completely agree. I've hiked Mount Washington in the past and know that they have signs (like the one below) all over the place trying to warn people. But people just don't heed them in summertime, when it can be 80 degrees or higher at the base. They just can't believe it could be so much colder up there as the summit does not look very far away from the base.

You can go from bright sunshine to near zero visibility in seconds.

Mr K (not the one on this forum) said when I mentioned this story that he was familiar with Mt Washington and said it’s famous for extremely bad, suddenly-changing weather.

“Turn back now if the weather is bad.”
