California man takes on Death Valley and loses, part 2. The sentence in bold is your classic example of "famous last words".

Low and slow... Yes, for smoking brisket, but 121 is nossogood for humans.

Never go to Death Valley without your Urban Sombrero.

I would think the name, DEATH VALLEY, would be enough to keep someone from hiking when the temperature was 121 degrees.
This only shows it is not always the young that think they are invincible. Rest in peace sir, doing what you wanted to do.

Once you are a Darwin awardee it means you won’t be competing again.

He was 71. Maybe it was ‘his time’, regardless of the heat......................

So would it be considered a “lifetime achievement award”?

It’s not called “Health and Wellness Valley” for a reason.

To me he seemed to be having mental issues, look at his clothing, he was bundled up from top to bottom, even wearing heavy gloves.
How could you dress like that, exert yourself, and expect to maintain life when the air is 121 and you are standing in the sun accumulating radiant heat?

As I scan that horizon, I see all the cool shady places where one can obtain rest, water , and comfort.

Well, it appears that he wasn’t actually out hiking when it was 121 degrees. That was the afternoon high temperature for the day, but the story said he was interviewed in the early morning. The temperature then might have been under 90 degrees. That’s still not a good time to be hiking several miles in Death Valley, though, not in July.
I’m 68 and have lived most of the last 38 years in Arizona, working outdoors much of the time. I know heat, and I know that I don’t tolerate the heat as well as I used to. It also takes longer to recover from the incidental heat stress that’s unavoidable unless you stay indoors in the A/C for months at a time.

It was hot in Death Valley today...
