On Saturday, at about 10 p.m., N.H. Fish and Game conservation officers and volunteers from Androscoggin Valley Search and Rescue were called upon to rescue a hiker with an unknown physical ailment from the Boot Spur Trail.
The hiker, identified as Nagarajan Tiruchchirapallis, 48, of Jersey City, N.J., had been hiking with three other companion hikers that day. It was reported that Tiruchchirapallis had started hiking with the group early that morning up Tuckerman Ravine Trail, but he was struggling to ascend, so his companions told him to turn around and not attempt the hike. He turned around and ended up taking a shuttle to the top of Mount Washington, where he met his companions. After a break at the summit, the three who had hiked up planned to hike back down and Tiruchchirapallis decided to hike down to the bottom with them. They started down at 11:30 a.m.
