This is a sad story. Three climbers on Mount Rainier in Washington were caught in a blizzard this week. To survive, they dug a trench for shelter. The man insisted on lying on the bottom to insulate his wife. She made it. He died of hypothermia.
Sad story but these always make me wonder why people can't watch a weather forecast. At lower altitude it is easy to underestimate a storm but on a high peak and especially one like Ranier the risk is too great.
