Authorities say the avalanche that killed two men on Mount Washington on Friday was triggered by a climber.

Seven people in all were swept about 1,000 feet down Tuckerman Ravine around 11:30 a.m.. Four of the men were buried in the snow, but one managed to free himself and another was hospitalized.
