From his FB posting:
"Today I climbed Katahdin in the most treacherous conditions imaginable. The conditions included spots with waist deep snow, almost whiteout conditions, 70 plus mph winds and temperatures around negative 20. Nothing was stopping me from the top. This was not a hike it was full blown mountaineering!"5 of the 9 hikers failed to reach the summitI had the wrong gear that is for sure
