"For those who knew Rodriguez, his sudden decision to tackle Mount Whitney, with a 14,505-foot summit and the highest peak in the continental United States"
It is not the highest mountain in the continental US. Sheesh...can't journalists learn the difference between the continental US and the contiguous US? When I see a mistake like this, it makes me wonder what other errors are in the article...

Local search and rescue, or law enforcement are probably the best sources.

There is no real information on that page.
I still have no clue what has happened there.
Although all the facts are not yet in, it is very probable that the following template can be used:
Hiker "A" from "State B" set out to climb peak "C". Said hiker lacked either the skills, equipment or experience to climb said peak. Or lacked all three. Authorities from "State B" were called to in to try to locate hiker who was later found "dead/in poor condition"
This scenario plays out countless times from Maine to CA. It will most likely never end.
