What the hell ? I don't care what anyone sez to me on a climb. Never ever leave a climbing newbie partner alone at altitude not for a moment.

I personally would have turned back with her due to how she was already struggling to go up, sighs…such a sad thing

Hiking is no joke, I hiked to the Colorado River once, Grand Canyon, for 3 days, then along the river then back up a different trail. People get life-flighted out of there regularly from complete exhaustion.

Yeah I went down the Hermit Trail, through the bottom then up the Bright Angel and it took 4 days. One Day there was a tent on a hill in the bottom set up at around high noon (when Temp was 100 F.) and it was someone with heat stroke waiting for a rescue copter. That place is no joke.

This kind of hike is not for beginners. And my belief is that you should NEVER separate while hiking. Thank you for clearing up many things while reporting on the updates. Yes, I'd like to be entered into giveaway. Nice to hear you so healthy sounding! Thank you.

Yes, I feel like we have so many cases where splitting up ends badly, and very few where it has a happy ending and everyone goes home :( Dogs that stick with their masters seem to help in their survival and rescue, their instinct often seems better than vanity and pride.

Sorry but there's something off about this. The very first thing you are taught/told in the Army/Military you stay with your "Battle Buddy".I don't understand how anyone doesn't know if you go hiking, climbing, kayaking or just walking or anything else with another person/team you should ALWAYS stay together(unless in extreme unforseen circumstances, like if they are immobile and you're getting help) Basically you come in together, you leave together. Plus considering Eric was a much more experienced hiker then her and she already told him she was having a hard time, at the very least thats extremely bad decision making/judgment for him to abandon her just so he could get to the top. I seriously can't imagine anyone in Eric's shoes decided to do that... Which is why I said something is off with his story. I don't wanna say what I can't help thinking about. Cause I don't know what happened but at the very least theres some liability on Eric's part just for his piss poor decisions. I mean c'mon, a strong athlete experienced hiker/outdoorsman abandoning an inexperienced 35yr old woman and a freakin mother of 4 no less just so you can get to the top. All for another notch on his belt resulted in the loss of her life and the total destruction of her children's and family lives. I'm sorry for repeating myself, but the more I think about the angrier I get.

Two of my friends and I were backpacking in the Alleghenies and rescued a day hiker who was lost. We were in a wilderness area in late November with hard to follow leaf covered trails with poorly maintained blazes. Took us seven hours to hike five miles. Often we had to split up to find the next blaze. We met a National Guard rescue team on the way out the next morning. We ripped her a new one for hiking without a compass or map and only wearing a hoodie and carrying a single chocolate bar.

Never separate when you, as an advanced hiker, are acting as guide with a newbie. In this instance, Eric should have abandoned his summit attempt and headed down with Michelle. If, indeed, he couldn’t check his ego and go back down, he should have told her to stay put for 45 minutes while he made the summit and returned to descend with her. Bad judgment for a supposedly experienced hiker. The group leader is always responsible for the decisions, not those who are inexperienced.

So exhausted that she couldn’t continue. Was completely out of water. Well obviously Eric had plenty of water because he continued to climb.

Geez....when my friends and l were dumb kids in high school, we did a lot of hiking and even then we knew not to separate. From our first hike together to our last, rule #1 was stay together. If one of us got tired and needed a break, we all took a break. If one of us had to relieve himself, the rest of us waited. I feel for her family. I hope someday they get closure.

I had two acquaintances who lost their lives on solo hikes above 14k feet. Things happen to people at high altitudes.

If my wife/friend were dragging behind somewhat 50 feet at times, I would think that relationship needs some help. It's hard to dismiss the husband/friend without knowing their background and the evidence.

In an athletic contest with the mountain, the mountain may win. Put the slowest hiker in front, and keep the group together with shared equipment such as a small shovel to dig latrines or bury trash. Agree on a time control plan, and fold the map for pocket reference.

If my dog was 50 yards behind, no matter what it/they or she said i couldn't leav them. There's always another day. Stop leaving people behind!

When she started having trouble, they both should have turned around together. There was no acceptable, alternative course of action. He broke the cardinal rule of the leader: Know your followers.

This one is is a tough one. In my opinion the boot could have traveled a good distance by means of wolf or big cat or other over the years. The original spot probably is not to far but on the other hand it may be. I don t think she would have bushwacked and spent all her energy excecially knowing she had just a little water.

Its sad the guy decided reaching the summit was more important. She would still be here otherwise.

So an experienced hiker left a rookie hiker who was suffering from altitude sickness go down a mountain all by herself. A condition he was well aware considering he was an experienced hiker. Knowing damn well the dangers of altitude sickness he still let her go off on her own? Nah that logic doesn’t make sense to any experienced mountain climber, hiker or LEO with brains. She would have been disoriented and in a terrible state of mind. Not enough digging was done.

Exactly

What a selfish person! Hope his precious summit was worth it?

you NEVER split up!

It was something they found her shoe. I pray she will be found soon🙏🏼

so the fella knew she wouldn't be able to make it back that night and he let her go? very strange. I wouldn't leave anyone for any reason

Its the fault of her hiking partner. No matter what SHE said or wanted. Its HIS responsibility and fault

From the Lakewood area? Where the hell is that? Do you think we all live in the same state? SMH

Agreed. If I didn’t leave near Lakewood in Littleton, Colorado, I wouldn’t have known where this was…

Please, don't go on a hike if you feel like arguing or if you and your partner aren't in a solid stable relationship. Breaking up in the wild and going back on your own isn't a good idea.

Vanek could have been having a cardiovascular event. An avid hiker and runner appearing under physical stress of any kind just isn't normal. Never leave someone like that alone.

Nobody has EVER gotten lost by staying ON hiking trails...PERIOD

"Strong and independent" another way of saying stubborn and reckless believing nothing bad can happen. This woman could have just taken his advice and both of them turn around or waited for his return and she would most likely be alive today.

I've got a friend, who has gone hiking with a narcissistic woman in her 80's. Sounds like she takes risks, is headstrong, & often has insisted on the wrong way. He was going with her to be nice, but has given up

So you have no experience climbing mountains, misogynistic scum, because if you did you'd know altitude sickness makes a person disoriented and irrational. The very experienced, very sorry excuse for a MAN who left her would have known that.

I don't feel compelled to take his story as fact.

Regardless of how he acts now, he should never left her particularly since he knew her health was not good.

Rule #1 don't split up!!!
