MOUNT ADAMS — Rick Wilcox, head of International Mountain Equipment and president of the all-volunteer Mountain Rescue Service of North Conway, on Tuesday offered two valuable lessons to learn from the climbing death of the New York woman whose body was recovered near Mount Adams Monday afternoon.

Kate Matrosova, 32, of New York City was found dead Monday, apparently from exposure, a day after she went missing in the Northern Presidentials of the White Mountains. Searchers braved subzero temperatures and winds up to 108 mph to locate the Siberian native after she activated her Personal Locator Beacon on Sunday afternoon, indicating an emergency.
