I saw that same article.? Absolutely facinating.? Well worth reading, although it may be paywall protected. I read it with topo in hand.? And I too thought hard about his actions. He went out under-prepared and under-equipped.? (Just having a GPS tied to a map, recording his track and telling him where he was all the time, would have prevented most of his ordeal.) ? But, given what he had, I can see myself making many of the same (wrong) choices in the field. With the topo in hand, I suspect his critical departure from the correct route may have been earlier, and simpler, than the reporter said.? It may have been a simple wrong turn?about 200' below the summit where the ridge split.? All of us have made wrong turns (at least I have). He just didn't have the tools to find that little error and recover. The big errors, to my mind, happened before he hit the trail. ? Probably a larger message there.???
