Hiker Survives 13 Below Temps on Quandary Peak

According to the Vail Daily, a 26-year-old hiker from Denver spent the night on Quandary Peak where temperatures reached 13 degrees below zero. he reminds us of the dangers of hiking this time of year above tree line. His roommates called search and rescue on Saturday night when he didn’t return from a planned day hike to the popular 14er.

Rescuers set out at midnight but had to turn back at 3AM when the weather got so bad they couldn’t see one another. On Sunday they continued their search. A “Flight for Life” flight spotted the hiker. He had dug a snow cave to survive the night. Once the rescuers reached the hiker he was transported to Summit Medical Center. It is reported that he suffered some finger “blanching” from the cold, whatever that is. But other than that, no major medical issues.

Stay safe people.
