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”

Missing Hiker Found Dead on Aonach Mor, Scotland


A missing hiker was found dead on Aonach Mor when he was forced to spend the night on the mountain in sub-zero temperatures.

The man, said to be in his 30s, failed to rendezvous with his friend and was reported missing around 6 p.m. A chopper and foot crews searched for him in freezing fog and was found the next morning.

Authorities said they found him on the route he was planning to take, but he may have slipped and injured himself during the hike.
