This would have saved her life. As would basic survival gear like a light tent, a small stove, a bit of food, and a space blanket. Heading out in those temps without such equipment is just nuts.
Sad, hopefully not to callus but one should really know their limits when exercising such activities.
despite calling 911 for help

In a mountain range full of firewood to keep warm...

The Adirondacks have sure grown taller since I was last there. That first picture almost looks like Yosemite.
New York’s highest peak in winter? Whoever said G*d protects drunks and fools didn’t think of this scenario.
On the scale of Hard Things, Mohr chose a 10.

An incredibly adventurous spirit.
