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”

2 Hikers Rescued, 1 Missing on Mt. Rose


Who: Three hikers and a dog
Where: Mt. Rose, California/Nevada border
Their mistake: Not sure.
What happened: Three hikers and a dog were on a hike in the Mt. Rose wilderness. It seems like they were overdue and someone reported them missing. A search began and two hikers and a dog were found. It is unclear how the men got separated.

A third hiker is still missing on the mountain. His hiking partners said the man was carrying two sleeping bags, but no flashlight, no cell phone and no other supplies. They did tell authorities that the man was heading down into a creek and lake area and he is likely to hunker down for the night. I will post details if they come.
