Hiker weathers storm alone on Mount Shavano in Chaffee County, Colorado
An injured Colorado man weathered a storm and survived a night alone on a mountain after his co-workers left him behind during an office retreat, rescue officials said Sunday.
The man was part of a group of 15 co-workers who had set off to summit Mount Shavano on Friday, the Chaffee County Search and Rescue South said.
"In what might cause some awkward encounters at the office in the coming days and weeks, one member of their party was left to complete his final summit push alone," the agency said.
The male hiker, who was wearing all black, reached the summit at 11:30 a.m. and became disoriented as he began his descent. He found that belongings left in the boulder field to mark the path for the descent had been picked up by the previous group as they hiked down.
