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”

Teen Lost in Desert Maze


Who: A 15-year-old hiker
Where: Coyote Gulch in the Escalante Desert, Utah
His mistake: He hiked ahead of his group and got lost.
Where: A 15-year-old boy hiking with family members got a little too excited and started moving too fast. He was ahead of the rest of the group and made a wrong turn on the trail. When family members realized he was lost, they alerted authorities.
