Several instances of stranded people have been reported and sadly some deaths have occurred as these people fall prey to one of mother natures more deadly surprises, cold and height. Some people underestimate their climbs and end up stranded amongst high peaks that are either too hard to reach on foot but are also too dangerous for mechanized rescue.
