Winter trails, darkness and all the weather - a fun holiday celebration at Olympia's amazing Squaxin Park. Registration open now.  

Speaking of AI, Adam Robinson reports for the local ABC affiliate in Sisikiyou County, CA:

One climber had used the AllTrails phone app during the climb up the mountain, but the phone battery died. A backup battery charger did not work, the USFS said. The group mostly relied on sight while descending, though one climber had a Garmin watch.

The USFS said the climbers told them they had used an artificial intelligence platform, YouTube videos and AllTrails to plan the trip. They said they relied on AI to decide what food to bring and how much food and water they would need.

I want to write a snarky comment here, but what is there left to say?
