FLAGSTAFF -- A man had to be treated for hypothermia this week and rescued from a snowy mountain in the US state of Arizona that he hiked up wearing only shorts and other light clothing in a quest for free pizza, authorities said. He was trying to qualify for a pizza promised by a local business to anyone who could make it to a radio tower on Mount Elden overlooking Flagstaff. A Forest Service lookout at the tower provided shelter Tuesday to the 30-year-old man, said Coconino County sheriff's Cmdr. The man was unaware of the forecast or disregarded it when he set out Tuesday morning, Mr Gilliland said. The freezing temperature and snowfall on the mountain were clear signs that the hike would be dangerous, Mr Gilliland said.
