A hiker was rescued from a mountain in the US state of Colorado after being apparently left behind the previous day by his colleagues during an office retreat.
The unnamed man got lost and found himself without phone signal after being left by colleagues who went ahead without him, the Chaffee County Search and Rescue team said.
He endured stormy weather and multiple falls before being found in a “large search effort” the next morning. He was stabilised and taken to hospital, but there has been no further update on his condition.
That’s…Not what the article said.
He went off on his own the wrong way.
It implies that they left him.
Also, it says that they appeared to have removed the trail markers.
It also does not say that he ignored the advice you quoted.
It’s weird how oppositional you’re being. Do you think these events happened in a vacuum?
Here’s what went down:
The group went out. Dude went up until hill by himself. Dude got lost. Dude is an adult and responsible for his own actions. The group returned home as originally planned.
Wrong. They were in a group. Then he needed to stop. They left him on his own to make the summit. Someone should have stayed with him. They failed him.
Whoa, were you there?
