A short You Tube video by A.T. thru hikers, Day 154, which shows and talks a little about the "very cold" August 21, Mt Washington weather and the unnamed 72-year old male hiker from Virginia whose dead body was found on the trail.
Ben: "It was very cold out, this hiker probably died of exposure."
Ben: "Like, if we would have pushed on, then we would have had to of walked by the dead body. So we decided that we were done."
Ben's Sister: "Not for us ...... bad omen ..... it was really crappy weather ...... it was not safe ...... get off the trail."
Ben' Sister: "Don't hike unprepared!"
Ben in closing: "Hike on happy hikers, we'll catch you next time, hike prepared, please, everybody."
Ben's Sister: "Same thing!"
