That's sad news. Even our mountains have to be treated with respect and I'm sure they're much smaller than yours. Unfortunately too many people overestimate their experience and get into trouble.

Katahdin is about a mile high. Some hikers look at that and think it is a minor peak. However, it is remote and rugged, sometimes called a rockpile from all the glacial debris. All the trails are strenuous. It and the White Mountains in neighboring New Hampshire are noted for dangerous weather.
