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”

Who: 63-year-old Ronald J. Trick
Where: Red River Gorge, Kentucky
His mistake: He hiked too close to the edge and took a tumble
What happened: Ronald J. Trick went on a solo hike in the Red River Gorge area of the Daniel Boone National Forest.

Somehow, Trick went over the edge of a cliff and fell about 165 feet to his death. Authorities are unsure how the man fell.

Authorities said Trick was a frequent visitor of the park and no foul play is involved.
