Authorities have confirmed the identity of the Pine man who died while hiking Capitol Peak last weekend.
Zackaria White, 21, had summited the peak with his roommate Brandon Wilhelm, and the two disagreed on how to descend the mountain. White turned left off the "knife edge" ridge and took a direct line toward the lake, even though he was told there was a cliff band below.
