A hiker was rescued from a mountain in the US state of Colorado after being apparently left behind the previous day by his colleagues during an office retreat.

The unnamed man got lost and found himself without phone signal after being left by colleagues who went ahead without him, the Chaffee County Search and Rescue team said.

He endured stormy weather and multiple falls before being found in a "large search effort" the next morning. He was stabilised and taken to hospital, but there has been no further update on his condition.

Look at all the comments from people who didn't read the article and automatically assume this headline accurately describes the situation!

He got himself lost despite his coworkers telling him he was going the wrong way.

I read the article and I think you paint just as an inaccurate picture. His colleagues went ahead without him. They friggin left him behind. They told him he was going the wrong way via messaging. It's not like he insisted they were wrong as they are telling him to his face he was going the wrong way.

The article doesn't say why they went ahead of him and no one stayed behind, so we can only speculate and hope that that level of carelessness was actually warranted.

Not only did they leave him behind, but they also picked up the markers they brought on the way down. They created the conditions for him to become lost in the first place.

Yeah, I didn't understand that party of the article.
