https://www.yahoo.com/news/office-retreat-gone-wrong-man-214300920.htmlDENVER (KDVR) There could be some awkward conversations around one water cooler after a group of 15 hikers on an office work retreat ended up separated from one hiker, who weathered a night in the mountains and sustained injuries as a result.
It all began for rescue workers at about 9 p.m. on Friday. Chaffee County Search and Rescue South was notified of an overdue hiker, wearing all black, on the Mount Shavano standard route. The rescue workers were told a group of 15 hikers on a work retreat left the Blanks Cabin Trailhead at sunrise on Friday, and split up.
One group was completing summit attempts and a second group was ascending to the saddle, then returning from there. However, one hiker was left to complete his final summit push alone.

(49,682 posts)There is a spirit of frantic and forced FUN! which I find excruciating, but nobody's ever been left out in the mountains overnight.
