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”

His mistake: Looks like he just slipped
What happened: A man apparently slipped and fell while hiking in a canyon. It is unclear why he fell. The man said he fell four to six feet. Family members said the man fell nearly 45 feet. His current condition is not known, but it must’ve been a quick fall.
