A bunch of morons injuring themselves does not mean something is dangerous, just that it attracts a lot of morons.

Look at this list. Mt Hunter is obviously way, way more dangerous than Mt Washington. But it much fewer deaths because only skilled alpinists climb Mt Hunter.

Yeah people go missing here all the time.
Go to place where Outdoors is trendy.
Have no idea about outdoors.
Get lost, die of hypothermia after buying a $300 sleeping mat but not taking basic wet weather gear.

I almost hiked to Mt. Rainier's base camp by myself until I was dissuaded from doing it on a particular day due to the risk of avalanches and I realized I knew nothing about mountains.

They're uniquely accessible for how dangerous they are. You can drive from boston or new york for a day hike, and the wind being funneled through makes the weather particularly unforgiving and dangerous.

Mount washington is the tallest mountain in the densely populated northeast US so a ton of people go there. If you had more 6000+ feet mountains with prominent peaks in the eastern US. Then washington would be overlooked.

>muh elevation above sea level argument
A 100 foot vertical fall is nearly 100% fatal. Thus, climbing a vertical rock face at 2,000 ft. ASL is more dangerous than walking up a gentle slope of a 14er.
Climbing the sheer cliffs in a nearby state park are way, way, way more risky than most 14ers despite being < 1k elevation.

99% of outdoor fatalities result from being underprepared, inexperienced, or just stupid. Most people unironically think if you get lost you can just walk in one direction until you hit a road. The three people in the photo likely weren't equipped for cold rainy weather, had no previous experience in that area of wilderness, and didn't bail as soon as stuff started going wrong.

Because people don't take these mountains too seriously, they underestimate them and get chewed up.
You always need to understand what can happen, and also check the weather first.
