MOUNT ADAMS – A missing hiker was discovered dead on Mount Adams Monday afternoon despite the efforts of rescuers who braved subzero temperatures and winds up to 108 mph in an unsuccessful attempt to find her.

Search crews from NH Fish and Game and Mountain Rescue Services (MRS) searched through the night in fierce winds and frigid temperatures for Kate Matrosova, 32, of New York City. Matrosova activated her Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) Sunday afternoon indicating an emergency. The beacon signal showed a coordinate between Mt. Madison and Mt. Adams. Attempts to contact Matrosova via her cell and satellite phones were unsuccessful, and a rescue mission was launched.
