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”

Hiker Rescued in Winter Storm


Who: An unprepared hiker and his dog
Where: Bonneville Shoreline Trail above the University of Utah
His mistake: He didn’t have the proper gear or clothing
What happened: A hiker wearing light clothing was forced to call for help when he was caught in a winter storm. It looks like the man used his cell phone to call for help around 8 p.m. He was found by search and rescue crews about 1 ½ hours later. He was uninjured, but cold.

Sorry, no other details on this story.
