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”

Climber Rescued in Snoqualmie Pass, Washington


A Coast Guard helicopter was able to locate and extract an injured hiker from the Snow Lakes area of Snowqualmie Pass in Washington.

The climber suffered injuries during a fall. The man was suffering from head injuries, but the cause of the fall was not reported.

A chopper was sent to the scene, but due to high winds, the rescue was delayed. A Coast Guard helicopter was then dispatched and was able to perform the rescue.

The climber was transported to a local hospital where he is being treated.
