Colorado man left behind during office retreat survives night on mountain

Injured hiker became stranded after co-workers descended without him before storm in Rocky mountains

A Colorado man survived a night on a mountain by himself - while injured - after being left behind by his co-workers during an office retreat, which rescue officials pointed out may lead to some awkward encounters at the office in the coming days and weeks".

Colorado's Chaffee County Search and Rescue South (CCSAR-S) shared the hiker's harrowing ordeal in a Facebook post earlier this week, saying that at about 9pm last Friday, it was activated for a report of an overdue hiker". The hiker was wearing all black on the standard route of Mount Shavano, a high mountain summit in the southern Sawatch range of the Rocky mountains.
