That's two hikers dead in a week, apparently from falling off cliffs.

Then don't forget the guy near Pratt Lake last month, and his friend to would've also gone over the cliff except his dog saved him.

On the latter Mt. Baker event, if you were unfamiliar with the terrain you would not see the cliff as the area is convex. And above the steepening terrain it is slippery huckleberry bushes.
