"....Don't believe he was hiking near the AT when this occurred...."
The Tuckerman Ravine trail goes from Pinkham Notch to the summit of Mount Washington and at 4.1 miles is one of the shortest, and most popular routes to the summit. The hiker was at the top of the Ravine about 0.5 miles east of the summit and the A.T. when he slipped.

A man here in Ga trespassed on some property today where he too fell down a waterfall and landed on his head. He is lucky to be alive but the property owners are pressing charges against him and his friends for being there. I have $20 that says the guy tries to sue them!
