Colorado hiker rescued after workmates reportedly left him on mountain

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.

The officials suggested the incident “might cause some awkward encounters at the office in the coming days and weeks”.

To say the least. Nothing builds teams like leaving a man behind to die.

They might as well confiscate his Swingline while they’re at it.

Sounds like they fixed the glitch.

In their statement, officials said the hiker reached the summit on his own at about 11:30 local time (17:30 GMT), but became “disorientated” on his descent.

His colleagues are said to have told him that he was on the wrong route, and suggested that he regain the trail.

Sounds more like he left them, not that they left him.

If your group says you’re going the wrong way and to regain the trail you weren’t left behind you got yourself fucking lost…

From another news story covering this: “The man reached the peak of Mount Shavano around 11:30 a.m. but, when he turned to descend the mountain, became disoriented when he found that the group had picked up the belongings being used as trail markers as they hiked down before him, according to search and rescue officials.”

I don’t know, my first thought was a rewards trip I went on where I could hear the salesman on the balcony next to me talking about all the cocaine he’d been doing.

There better be a raise involved at minimum.

Yeah a raise in the form of a lawsuit payout

This is definitely a story of someone who had no idea what they were doing, had no experience with nature, and just didn’t care. He barely survived his own ignorance.

Gotta love team building exercises.

While I’ve ever been a fan of work treats, I’d be more in support of them if they were opportunities to abandon social leech failsons and let nature run its course.

I don’t know anything about the person in this story, but most coworkers wouldn’t be willing to just trudge on when the guy everyone describes as “the nicest” appears to be disoriented and lost.
