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”

What happened: A man was hiking with a group on the Pauoa Flats Trail. About one mile in at the top of Tantalus, the man slipped and injured his leg. He was unable to continue on the trail.

Authorities were called. The man’s injuries were not life threatening and he was conscious the entire time. But due to his location in steep terrain, the man was airlifted out and taken to a local hospital.
