According to reports, on September 12, local time, Argentina's tech entrepreneur Matthias Augusto Travisano died of a drop out of control while climbing Mount Shasta, Northern California, on his way back, falling about 600 meters from the glacier area, at the end of the year 45.

It is that Travisano is an engineer and entrepreneur who served as chief executive of GranData. In 2024, he was appointed as a government adviser by Argentine President Milley and assisted in planning Milley's first Silicon Valley tour.

Police informed that the same morning, Travisano and two other unnamed climbers managed to climb the summit. At 2:30 p.m., on the way down the mountain, the two of them deviated from the Qing River route, mistakenly entered the ice sheet at the northern end of the Windon Glacier, about 4115 meters high, and attempted to descend to the lower area in a "slip down" (sitting-control slide) and return to the climbing path.

Witnesses said that Travisano lost control during the downhill. After slipping about 90 meters, he hit a boulder and was stunned for nearly 10 minutes, but there were still signs of life at that time. Another climber tried to approach for rescue. However, after regaining consciousness, Travisano accidentally broke away from the rock support, slipped down the steep glacier again, and finally disappeared from sight. The third climber accompanying him immediately called 911. The local police department, together with the mountaineering patrol officers of the U.S. Forest Service and the helicopter of the Northern Branch of the California Highway Patrol, launched a search. About two hours later, the body was found at the bottom of the glacier at an altitude of about 3,100 meters.

In this regard, the police said that although the Qingdao Route is considered one of the ¡°safer¡± climbing routes to Mount Shasta, climbers may still lose direction in low visibility, especially when retreating from the top of the mountain plateau. Once they deviate from the climbing path, they tend to get misled into more dangerous Ashta or mud streams, with the risk of accidents increasing.

It is worth noting that this is the second fatal slide accident in Mount Shasta since August. On August 10, a man who alone climbed the ice-covered ¡°Snowfall Canyon¡± steepest section of the road, slid out of control and rolled hundreds of meters, although seriously injured but eventually survived. On August 16, another climber fell on the ¡°Clean River Route¡± and was rescued down the mountain to Reddin Hospital on the 17th, unfortunately dead. The U.S. Forest Administration warned when reporting the August 10 accident: ¡°When the slopes crossed the steep or face too hard, even experienced climbers could be in danger.¡±
