About

Over four years ago, I read “Touching the Void” and I was always intrigued by situation hikers find themselves in and the incredible things they do to stay alive.

This blog is about learning from other people’s mistakes, so you don’t make the same ones.

“Better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the grey twilight that knows not victory nor defeat”

The 20-year-old hiker who was missing yesterday after a day hike with his church group was found at 9:15 a.m. this morning.

Francisco Franco was sitting on a boulder when he was spotted by a rescue helicopter. The chopper plucked him off the mountain and carried him to safety.

Franco had enough food and water throughout the night. It was not reported how he went missing.
