Yup, lot of snow up there even now. Kind of like the Summer of 1969 with tons of snow still at the higher elevations.
Odd story. Ventura County is a long way from the Sierras. How were they the first to respond?
Happens every once in a while here when people take chances or make mistakes. Sad and somber every time.
Why did he keep hiking even while falling?
A precipitous decision it would seem.
RIP.
The killer Kern river is still roaring.
Poor fellow. I’m sad for his family and friends.
stupid..hurt
Wonder if this was on the PCT. It sounds like it due to the hikers and its about that time of year they would be making their way NB through the Sierras. Some of that trail is treacherous through there especially with full gear on the way to Canada.
