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”

Hypothermic Hiker Rescued

Photobucket
Who: A 30-year-old man
Where: Sandwich Mountain, New Hampshire
His mistake: Not sure.
What happened: A man was hiking with nine other people when the man suddenly became weak and lethargic. He was unable to continue on the trail and the group called 911.

Rescue crews responded and determined he was hypothermic. The rescue team hauled the man down in a basked. The hiker was conscious the entire way. A waiting ambulance took the hiker to the hospital.
