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 Dies in 400-Foot Fall


Who: 48-year-old hiker
Where: Zion National Park, utah
His mistake: Looks like he made a mis-step on the trail.
What happened: A solo hiker died after he fell 400 feet from the Canyon Overlook trail in the park.

Rangers found the man after they noticed there was a car parked overnight at the trailhead. When they began searching for the occupant of the car, they found the man below the ridge.

Authorities believe he fell from the top of the popular viewpoint. It is unclear exactly what happened.
