Probable cause

The pilot's failure to properly execute the published missed approach procedure resulting in an impact with mountainous terrain. Contributing factors were the pilot's attempted flight into known adverse weather conditions, failure to obtain the UNICOM frequency during the approach which resulted in the pilot's failure to illuminate the runway lights, and the pressure induced on the pilot by the night, weather and terrain conditions encountered during the flight.
