SafetyA teenager who followed a Claude-planned hike was airlifted off the 'Widowmaker' cliff

A 16-year-old in British Columbia left Grouse Mountain around 8 a.m. on October 3 to climb Crown Mountain and ended up stranded at the vertical 'Widowmaker Arete' headwall. North Shore Rescue said the teen asked Claude to plan the trip and the route led into technical climbing terrain. A helicopter took him out around 6:30 p.m.

Two rescuers had to be lowered on ropes. The team said a fall could have caused serious injury or death and urged hikers not to hand route planning to AI.
