Stories of
untimely deaths on Cascade-like volcanoes creep me out. It's so easy to get into trouble. When I was 17, I nearly-summitted Mt. Shasta (we only failed because we left our wind jackets on the glacier below) and DID summit Mt. Hood (but nearly got killed glissading down afterwards):
A climber from Argentina died in a 2,000-foot fall on a California mountain after regaining consciousness from a crash into a large boulder, deputies say.
...The 45-year-old man, later identified as Matias Augusto Travizano, was part of a climbing group with two others, deputies said.
Earlier in the day, deputies said, the group summited Mount Shasta.
However, on the trek back down, Travizano and one of the other climbers wandered from the trail, leaving them “stranded on an ice sheet at the northern tip of Wintun Glacier around 13,500 feet,” the sheriff’s office said.
