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”

Six Lost Hikers in Guam Found

Photobucket
Who: Six hikers, not much more is known
Where: Guatali, Santa Rita, Guam
Their mistake: Not sure
What happened: Six hikers went out for a walk in the Guatali area of Guam. At some point during the hike, one of the hikers received minor injuries and the group was overdue. It is unclear if the injury was directly related to the group being delayed or if they got lost.

Someone reported them overdue and rescuers launched a search. The hikers were found about three hours later. Five were in good condition, but one was injured. The five healthy hikers were escorted out. The injured hiker was airlifted and taken to safety.
