People need to take Mt Seymour seriously. Just about every one of these stories is based on Mt Seymour. About 20 years ago me and a buddy got lost cross-country skiing off those trails. We couldn't figure out which way was up from the fog. Completely exhausted I was ready to hunker down and take my final hypothermic sleep. It's way too easy to get in trouble on that mountain. More needs to be done to educate people of the risks there.

Do mountaineers have a death wish or are they just folks caught in a shockingly protracted adolescence?
