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.

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.

This is definitely a comment from someone who didn't read the article.

This was an office retreat. It's the company's job to make sure everybody is safe. For all we know, this guy didn't want to be there to begin with.

I read the article, apparently better than you. Idiots separated himself from the group, went the wrong way, and wouldn’t listen to others who warned him. He did this to himself specifically because he’s an idiot. See how that works?

Don’t project your own life onto a random internet article.

That's...Not what the article said.

Concerned, he sent a pin drop to colleagues, who are said to have told him that he was on the wrong route, and suggested that climb back up to regain the trail.

He went off on his own the wrong way.

In their statement, officials said the hiker was left to reach the summit on his own

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.
