Tech exec plummets 2000 feet to his death off California mountain

A tech executive died after plummeting 2000 feet to his death off a California mountain.
Matias Travizano, 45, plunged off Mount Shasta in Siskiyou County, California during a hike on September 12.
The Argentine, who was chairman of tech firm Grandata, was killed as he attempted to descend the mountain by sliding down it using a risky technique known as 'glissading'.
Travizano was making his way down with two other hikers he met during his ascent when he hit a boulder and was knocked unconscious.
They watched in horror as the executive slid 300 feet before one of them managed to get within 100 feet.
Travizano briefly regained consciousness, but plunged for a second time over a ledge beyond the other hiker's reach.
The California Highway Patrol helicopter unit recovered his body at an elevation of 10,200 feet at the base of the Wintun Glacier the next day.
The group went up the mountain using the Clear Creek Trail, described as a 'non-technical' route that is commonly used in the summer and fall.
