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 59-year-old hiker went on a solo one-week hike in the Mt. Loop Highway area. He was supposed to return Monday, but didn’t show up. His concerned girlfriend immediately called authorities.

Search and rescue crews began looking for the man. They located his car at a trailhead, but didn’t find any sign of the hiker. Crews are continuing to search by land and air. Authorities said the hiker is experienced and well-equipped for a long stay in the wilderness.
