Missing climber in Maroon Bells area

Post by TravelingMatt »

A neighbor told me about this; he had finished a trail hike and the cops/SAR were at the missing man's vehicle. The neighbor said the cold front came in quickly Friday morning and lowered the temperature by some 30°, and before that the area had been in and out of fog and mist.
