·Mount Adams·Northern Presidentials (started from AMC parking lot, Route 2, Randolph)

Christophe Chamley, 70, of Massachusetts

Chamley climbed Mounts Adams and Jefferson on April 22, 2018, then 'decided to bail off' and descended to the Mount Washington Hotel, checking in at 1 a.m. Monday. A message to his wife failed to send, triggering a large overdue-hiker search before he was located unharmed at the hotel. Fish and Game characterized the search as a waste of time, money and resources.
