Who: 26-year-old Joseph Leonhard and 28-year-old Justin Seweryn
Where: Yellow Spur Route, Eldorado Canyon State Park, Colorado
Their mistake: Poor planning
What happened: Two climbers rock climbed the Yellow Spur Route, a 10a route in Eldorado Canyon State Park. The men were able to complete the long, hard route, but on their descent, they ran into some trouble compliments of packed snow, ice and the fading light.
The Rocky Mountain Rescue Group were alerted and found the pair. Details of the rescue are thin, but it took the rescue group 3 ½ hours to escort the pair down to safety.
