Here’s a couple of lads who have taken stupidity to new heights, and depths. Make sure you read all the way to the end – it just keeps getting more and more incredible. [http://www.mountwashington.com/hiking/stories/tjm.html](http://www.mountwashington.com/hiking/stories/tjm.html) ---

I should have mentioned in the OP that they were hiking Mount Washington, tallest peak in Northeast USA, and one known for severe weather. Deaths from sudden storms are not uncommon. ---

I would have to say that this is my favorite line in the whole story… ’ YOu stupid fools, you got what you deserved. Leaving the summit at 7pm, ill-prepared, ill-equiped to handle the elements…’ I don’t hike (except hoofing it to work every day) but damn, just how stupid can you be? Ok… hoofing off to work now…
