More hiking deaths at Yosemite
Three hikers were not long ago swept over Vernal Falls. But less than two weeks later, another woman has died at Yosemite National Park.
The 26-year-old woman had reached the Half Dome summit, which is widely regarded as a treacherous hike taking up to a half a day to finish, lost her grip on summit cables. She plunged 600 feet down the steep slope to her death, reported Newser.
Hayley LaFlamme became the 14th person to die at the park this year, an especially deadly one for Yosemite, reports the San Francisco Chronicle.
In the winter months, up to a half dozen people usually die. Record snowfall has made conditions worse this year.
Many hikers have been ignoring warning signs, according to park officials.
