A tech entrepreneur from Argentina died last week following a tragic fall while descending Mt. Shasta in Northern California.

Matías Augusto Travizano, 45, reached the 14,179‑foot summit by hiking the Clear Creek Trail, a non‑technical route often used during late summer and fall. After summiting on September 12, he was descending with two other individual climbers when poor visibility caused by cloud cover led them off course, the Siskiyou County Sheriff's Office said.
