Whether smart or not, I've always had a certain thrill by going it alone. It's certainly not Washington, but I'd say 90% of the decents I've made from the Chin on Mansfield have been solo. I just find the thrill of being by yourself with nature heightens the focus and thrill.
This said, I would never contemplate doing something like Washington with such severe Avalanche risks alone. It's also a WAY bigger commitment considering how far you have to hike to get to the goods.
Definitely a very sad and tragic situation for this experienced BC hiker.
