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”

What happened: At 5 p.m. one day, a tourist reportedly fell from some rocks during a solo hike of Stara Planina Mountain in Troyan. The regional mountain rescue service requested urgent help for the victim. 17 search and rescue experts responded to the scene, but had problems locating the woman because she didn’t take a regular path and there was no information on the location of the accident.

Eventually, the woman was found, but her body lay lifeless. Authorities said the woman died on the spot.
