Yeah, they were even urged by some experienced hikers (who had microspikes etc.) to turn around near the trailhead due to treacherous conditions. Serious contenders for outdoors Darwin award.
- SamBam 6y agoI think this is a good example of the Dunning Kruger Effect -- however poorly it matches with what the original article proved -- of "when you're a beginner, you don't realize how much of a beginner you are." A non-expert climber figures a tough hike is basically like any other hike they've been on, only a little harder. They don't recognize how large the gulf is between a tough hike up a mountain and a treacherous life-or-death situation.
