Known as an adept hiker who assisted others on trails, Christopher Roma met a tragic end while hiking alone in challenging conditions in New Hampshire’s White Mountains. Despite his familiarity with the trail, things took a turn for the worse.
Concerned friends called 911 around 10:20 p.m. on a Tuesday after an alarming conversation with Roma. Despite the cold weather, he managed to call for help and provided his location between Mount Bond and Mount Guyot.
Rescue efforts began at 2 a.m. on Wednesday, but the snow made it challenging. A National Guard helicopter attempted three times but faced difficulties due to clouds and poor visibility near Mount Guyot.
