MOUNT WASHINGTON â Authorities say two men are lucky to be alive after they survived falls of more than 500 feet down the rock- and snow-covered face of the Tuckerman Ravine headwall early Saturday afternoon.
Of the two, lead USFS Snow Ranger Frank Carus, director of the Mount Washington Avalanche Center, said Monday: âI canât believe they didnât sustain any life-threatening injuries.
The identities of the two men were not made available as of press time despite requests for information from the Forest Service.
Reached at home, Carus said the two were believed to be from Connecticut and in their early 20s.
