Another horrific fall on the icy flanks of Mount McKinley is threatening to turn this Alaska Range climbing season into one of the deadliest.

Not trying to be callous about it, but people fall off of mountains. We have a little 1625' monadnock just west of here that claims one life every year from people falling. I'd much rather read that a free citizen fell to his/her death than that he/she was prevented from climbing by government intrusion.
That seems unusually high. We used to go up to the top of Mt. Hood when it was summer and an easy technical hike. I couldn't imagine doing it in the fall or spring, but every year or so someone would try and get caught in a storm and fall or perish from exposure.
McKinley would take a lot of skill, and I imagine those that tempted it were well trained. Tragic.
There is a record I'd rather not see broken.
