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”

Missing Hikers Found on Pikes Peak

Photobucket
Who: A couple in their 40s visiting from Ohio
Where: Pikes Peak, Colorado
Their mistake: They got lost
What happened: A couple went for a day hike from Crags campground to the saddle of Pikes Peak. Before they left, the couple posted their intended route on a Twitter feed.

When they didn’t return from their hike as expected, the couples’ friends called for help. The El Paso Search and Rescue team responded and found the couple on the west side of Pikes Peak. I’m not sure if they were on the right track or not. The couple was in good condition.
