Hiker left behind by colleagues during retreat in US rescued.

A group of colleagues set out on a retreat in the beautiful US mountains, ready for a day of adventure and bonding. They embarked on their journey at sunrise, eagerly anticipating the breathtaking views and challenging trails. However, things took a turn when one of their members, a hiker, was left behind during their ascent to Mount Shavano in Colorado.

As the day went on, the remaining group received a distress call from the stranded hiker. It was around 9pm on a Friday, and the Chaffee County Search and Rescue team was immediately alerted. They learned that the hiker was part of a work retreat and had been left behind by his colleagues. Despite the awkwardness that may arise in the office, the rescue team was determined to bring the lost hiker back to safety.

The man had sent a pindrop to his coworkers, hoping they would guide him back to the trail. However, he soon became lost and disoriented, making it difficult for him to complete the hike alone. With a storm brewing in the distance, the situation became even more dire. The hiker lost phone signal as freezing rain and high winds made it nearly impossible to navigate the treacherous terrain.

Thankfully, the stranded hiker was able to regain phone service and contact his coworkers. The rescue team, along with a drone pilot, immediately began a large-scale search. Despite the challenging conditions, they worked tirelessly into the night and continued their efforts the next day.

Meanwhile, the hiker managed to make his way to a gully below Espirit Point, where he was found by the rescue team. He recounted how he had fallen multiple times on the steep slopes and was unable to get back up. It was truly a stroke of luck that he regained phone service and called 911 for help.

The hiker was taken to the hospital for care, and while he was fortunate to have been found, it was a reminder of the potential dangers of hiking alone. The Chaffee County Search and Rescue team praised his resilience and quick thinking in a difficult situation. They also encouraged others to always stay in a group and have a reliable means of communication while hiking.
