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”

Man Falls 50 Feet from Ravan Cliff Falls, Georgia


A man suffered critical injuries after falling 50 feet from Raven Cliff Falls in White County Georgia.

Hikers in the area spotted a dog standing by the trail. When the hikers investigated, they found the man at the bottom of the embankment. They weren’t sure how long he was laying there.

One hiker went down to help the man. The others went further down the trail to get cell phone service to call 911. It took rescuers four hours to get to the falls and package him for an aerial rescue.

A spokesperson for the fire department said that this is one of many accidents at the falls this year. Read the story here.

In June, I posted a story of a man who nearly fell down the falls, but was grabbed by a mysterious man who saved his life then disappeared in the brush. Read that story here.

    The photo above is the 400 ft. Raven Cliff Falls in Caesars Head State Park, South Carolina, not the one in Georgia, which is only about 80ft.
