Fifteen hikers on an office work retreat in Colorado’s San Isabel National Forest left one man behind, who went on to survive a night on a mountain while injured.
He reached the summit at about 11:30 a.m., according to the Chaffee County SAR, but became disoriented when he went to descend the mountain. When he looked for items left in the boulder field to mark the descending path, they were gone: The previous group had picked up the path markers on their way down.
Not only did it fail as a '"team building" event, but it sadly turned into quite the opposite.
I wonder what the dynamics of the group was before the event?
Was the intention to bring employees closer or was it to try to mend fences?
Thankfully, he was found alive the next day. I don't know what condition he is currently in.
He told rescue workers he was in a different area than where they had searched and that he had been disoriented on his descent and had fallen at least 20 times. After his last fall, he was unable to get back up.
"Rescue workers were able to rescue the man, who was stabilized before being transported to a hospital, according to Chaffee County SAR.
“This hiker was phenomenally lucky to have regained cell service when he did, and to still have enough consciousness and wherewithal to call 911. Though he was located in a tertiary search area, it would have been some time before teams made it to that location on their own,” Chaffee County Search and Rescue South said.
The agency reminded
hikers to always hike with a partner, pack bright clothing and remember to
pack the 10 essentials, some of which include food and water, first-aid supplies, warm clothing and a lighting source."
