So, were there "meditational" enhancers involved?  Sounds like it to me. 
Peyote?

Mount Shasta, Calif. —

A 19 year old Los Angeles man died on Mt. Shasta over the weekend when he 
wandered away from a meditation ceremony to place a rock on the top of the 
mountain, according to Sheriff’s reports.

Michael Falvo had been participating in meditation ceremonies with other 
individuals at the Old Ski Bowl, at approximately 7,800 feet, according to 
Allison Giannini, spokesperson for the Siskiyou County Sheriff’s Department.

He was reported missing about three hours after he was last seen by the 
group at 3 p.m., wearing a t-shirt, sweatpants, and no shoes, Giannini said. 
(NO SHOES!)

“The group reported to deputies that [Falvo] took off his shoes and began 
walking up the mountain to place a rock on the top of Mt. Shasta,” Giannini 
said.

Due to darkness, the Siskiyou County Search and Rescue team was unable to 
begin searching, Giannini said. Search and Rescue volunteers, US Forest 
Service Law Enforcement and the California Highway Patrol helicopter began 
searching the area on Sunday morning, Giannini said, and located Falvo’s 
body at approximately 9,600 feet at 1 p.m.

“The Sheriff’s Department would like to thank the Search and Rescue 
volunteers, USFS and CHP for their assistance,” Giannini said in the press 
release. “The Siskiyou County Sheriff’s Department would also like to 
express our deepest condolences to the family of Mr. Falvo. “
I blame the organizers of this "Meditation Ceremony" and the lack of common 
sense in Michael.  Hm, a t-shirt, sweatpants and no shoes . . . on Mt Shasta 
in November!
