The person at Wells Fargo was in a back part of the building, died on Friday and no one found her until Monday - because no one was in the building. It wasn’t nearly as dramatic as the media or you are making it sound. This guy decided to leave the group on his own (his group headed down, he continued to the summit). The guides are idiots for letting him wonder on his own, but it is reasonable that his co-workers waited to send help.

Another way to look at it is maybe he was such an evil s.o.b. that nobody cared if he died? I haven't the slightest idea about their dynamic and quite frankly, I don't care if I never find out. But think about it, 15 co-workers and ALL OF THEM are kinda laissez faire if he lives or dies? Are all 15 of them evil and he's the good guy? Possible. Just statistically, however, it makes way more sense that he's the evil s.o.b.

Sadly, this is a reflection on what many people have devolved to, especially since 2021. People have changed for the worse. They lack compassion and are like a pack of wolves who are ready to turn on anybody who doesn't meet their standards or isn't completely like they are. They are absolutely intolerant of anybody with any differences, and will gladly turn their backs on the one who is drowning, just because they don't happen to like them. Nonhuman. The Bible says that this will be the state of people just before Jesus returns to judge the earth. They will be lovers of themselves, haughty, proud, headstrong, brutal. Is this not what we're seeing here?

If he had lagged behind so much he could not do the peak with the others he should have accepted his limits and gone down with them. There’s not enough info on if they tried to pursuade him enough not to be stupid and stay by himself. They didn’t leave him, he could have gone with them.

Veteran here. I've hiked mountains, completed yomps across moors and deserts, and everything inbetween. You NEVER leave someone behind merely because they're lagging behind the pace setters. You walk with them (split into groups if need be), encourage them, motivate them to finish, and you complete the challenge as a unit and a team. Everything is off about this story - leaving him, not stopping and waiting/going back for him, removing markers they knew he needed (WTF?!), not calling for help until about 5 hours after a major storm rolled in, when a struggling/inexperienced hiker was on the mountain... If I were more cynical, I'd consider it attempted murder. Doesn't matter how much you might dislike the bloke, you can't do that. Unacceptable behaviour.

The bus driver hiked with me and made sure we both eventually made it to the summit. I've never forgotten that. Jump ahead 10 years and I'm hiking down a mountain with two co-workers and the whole 2nd and 3rd grade classes, and once again I'm last (this time pregnant with morning sickness). Two other teachers slowed down to stay with me. Some co-workers are just awesome people and have your back. That's a trusting and supportive work environment culture.

Since this was a "corporate retreat hike" there appears to be no "opt out" for those who might be slower, so it was impingent on the leader to conduct a safe hike.

I've literally seen it happen, it's happening right now to a nice hardworking practicing Catholic young man, who just got married , and is having a child, his new boss is power tripping and every one knows it and everyone including myself are pissed , nothing anyone can do, she came in the door bashing her whole team, too stupid to realize she was lucky to get the best performing, experienced team in my office! She wanted to flex and now she's flexing. They guy was so visibly upset last week, he quietly told me he wants to leave for the day cuz don't wanna cry at work!!?? Nice guy, shows up daily, on time, does work supposed to do, and well liked by everyone there, he's kind, she's a bully! And now he's looking for another job for a transfer, this beotch would definitely get left out there. And I've seen one years ago who gave someone a .10 cent raise and used to harass this chic daily! I guarantee she would've gotten left too, gotta be kind and fair to everyone..I had an old boss he was a dix, constantly messing with my annual reviews and workloads, harassing me, threatening me, he'd got left out there too. So I started thinking how could so many of them be on the same page, unless this guy was a real molten azzhole. Cuz at least one person would've felt the need to help him.. Right?

A few of us didn't have crampons but those who had them said it doesn't matter, just come on. When we got near the top, the weather changed and became wintery and snowy, without sny discussion abruptly everyone separated and went at different speeds, with the guy who was leading racing on ahead. Around that time one girl without much experience said she was getting very tired and cold and the group 'leader' said to just wait alone behind a rock in an isolated place until everyone else was done.

You NEVER EVER abandon them on the trail. There are many dangers on the trails especially in the Rockies. My group would always be “packing” and carrying flare guns, compass for azimuth directions, etc. These guys are either a bunch of pilgrims who know little about hiking in the wilderness or they did this hike purposely losing him to teach him a lesson.

I had been working with one of the women for a few weeks, and the others were all strangers. About half way up, I realized I didn't have the cardio to continue and told them I was heading back down. One of the women - a stranger to me - encouraged me to carry on. She slowed her pace down considerably, took a break whenever I needed one, and hiked the entire way with me.

I had a bad day at work today because of my family.. my coworkers very one of them asked if I was ok my boss gave me a hug. I can’t imagine this because my coworkers are better than my family…. I’m so sorry to this man. I hope he can find a better more loving work environment like the one I have. ❤

Every single co-worker should be utterly aghast at themselves. I too have been part of a “team building” event in which one person (out of 20) was having difficulty on the hike. Several “team mates” didn’t care at all and just went ahead. Several more were simply ignorant and just went ahead. A small handful, including myself, refused to leave the woman having trouble. We Got her to the top and then, together, made our way down. Human decency. Utter nonsense that the entire group simply left someone on that mountain. Total lack of human compassion and emotional intelligence. I truly hope that they don’t find themselves in that situation one day but if they do, perhaps they will come to understand just how horrific their actions were on that 14’er.

I hope they are all charged with reckless endangerment for removing the markers and failing to call for help for hours and hours.

I think that is the right thing to do. The way you handled it makes me think you are more knowledgeable, in several ways, than many others.

You are a decent person and in this day, apparently an exception (reading the comments on this thread has horrified me that too many ppl are just like his coworkers and blaming him that he shouldn’t have gone, known his limits, or went back down earlier.) your comment reminds me that there are considerate ppl worth our time in the world.❤

So you are on a teambuilding exercise. So someone was in charge. The person in charge should’ve not let this happen. The person in charge should have made sure the police were notified. It’s why we have bosses. They’re supposed to take care of things. If this is a teambuilding exercise, the only thing they learned is their boss is completely inept.

Why should they have had to put themselves in further danger by waiting on him? I've read a few books on Mt. Everest recently and there have been many times in history when someone made in heartbreakingly close to the summit but had to turn around. It sucks but sometimes you just have to face the fact that summiting is not going to happen and turn around and go down with the rest of the group. He could have saved himself, his coworkers and rescuers a lot of trouble if he had just used good common sense.

@@angela-ti1npThe difference is that you can't pause on Mt Everest or you die up there. It's like the one place where you have to leave people behind to die.

Do they also work for Wells Fargo? Sounds like the same bunch that didn’t realize their coworker was deceased in her cubicle for four days. What a lovely bunch of people

A hiker who was rescued from a Colorado mountain after getting lost during an office retreat was raising money for World Central Kitchen, a food relief charity. He worked for London-based global insurance firm Beazley. What would happen if he died in the Colorado mountain? I would not be shocked if the company get sued.

I don’t care how much I don’t like someone. You have to be a heartless person to leave someone for dead. The older I get the more I realize people in high positions lack common sense. Speaks volumes on the morality of that company. No man left behind. Period.
