Read the excerpt from the story I posted, she may have read the weather report but decided to go anyway, to reach her goal of all 48 peaks by the time she was 20.

Those kinds of goals push people to take a lot of risks.
If she read the weather but decided to go anyway wearing what she wore, then she earned a Darwin.

Not necessarily. Weather has been known to change unexpectedly. Maybe not in Idaho?


A wise man is frequently humbled.
