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”

Photobucket
Who: A 72-year-old man and his dog
Where: Wilderness area around Mount St. Helens, Oregon
His mistake: It’s unknown
What happened: A man and his dog were on a day hike in the wilderness surrounding Mt. St. Helens. His wife was waiting for him at a rendezvous point at 6 p.m., but when he didn’t’ show up, she called for help. Search and rescue crews began a search and they also called local residence to look out for the missing man and his dog. At nightfall, the search was halted due to darkness.

The next morning, the search began. A Sheriff’s search team located the man and dog at 10 a.m. They were both in good condition and escorted to safety. It is unclear if the man was delayed or lost.
