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 with No Water Missing


Who: 49-year-old Jim Williamson
Where: Red Mountain, Southern Utah
His mistake: It’s unknown, but he may have taken a wrong turn
What happened: A man who was hiking alone called his wife to tell her that he may have hiked the wrong way and was running out of water.

His wife called for help and a search began. Authorities were unable to contact the man and they believe the phone may have lost its charge. Searchers will continue looking for the man throughout the night.
