Two Hikers Rescued from Mount Lafayette

Two separate groups of hikers were rescued off Mount Lafayette this weekend after suffering hypothermia — one teen from New Jersey was found unresponsive near the summit but recovered after warming up. The high-altitude conditions, even in mild weather, can turn deadly fast. Officials warn: always check summit-specific forecasts and pack proper gear — including waterproof, insulated layers. One volunteer even got injured during the rescue, highlighting how perilous these situations can be for everyone involved. Preparation isn’t optional — it’s essential for survival in the White Mountains. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
