PASADENA, Calif. --
Two dozen Caltech
freshmen dressed in outlandish get-ups as part of a nighttime dorm initiation
got stranded on the flanks of Mount Wilson while walking down a dirt
road from the observatory, it was reported Tuesday.The road was blocked by a
landslide that occurred last year, the Pasadena Star-News reported."You've
got to remember that common sense is not factored into the intelligence
quotient," Deputy Greg Gabriel, who leads the Altadena Search and
Rescue team, told the newspaper.
and now you see…We were not the only ones!!!
Hiked Mt. Wilson (5,710 ft) and Got Rescued by Helicopter
Yes Aiman, it was hell of an exp. I'm glad that I'm alive too! So far just experimenting myself; Coming summer I and about 6 friends will be climbing Mt. Whitney. It's a decent 14000 ft. climb and we will do it over the span of two - three days. Looking forward to it.
