Missing Hiker Found Dead After 1,000-Foot Fall
Quick Glance: Air France Pilot Falls to Death While Hiking California's Mount Whitney
  • A French pilot who disappeared while hiking Mount Whitney in California was found dead after falling about 1,000 feet (305 meters) off a cliff, according to the National Park Service on Friday, October 20, 2023.

  • The hiker was identified as Tom Gerbier from Fontenay-sous-Bois, France, and was a pilot for Air France, the park service said in a statement.

  • Mount Whitney, the tallest mountain in the contiguous United States, rises 14,494 feet (4,418 meters) on the eastern border of Sequoia National Park and is a challenging but popular hike.

  • Gerbier started his hike on Tuesday from Whitney Portal near the town of Lone Pine and was reported missing when he didn't return for his flight on Wednesday, the park service said.
