The blue car with the bike is his! SAR is going to do a flyover and go from there. Thank you so much for checking that out.

Re: Missing climber in silverton area
Can anyone tell me what trailhead, or at least what general area, they are searching? I'm in the San Juans, but maybe in a totally different area.
Hoping for the best possible outcome.

Candace, They found his car at Molas Pass Trailhead. I believe the search is focused on Trinities, Arrow/Vestal area.

Re: Missing climber in silverton area
I was camped in Vestal Basin last night, chopper activity all evening. Summited the Trinities today and watched a chopper land near the upper unnamed lake. Hoping for the best.

Re: Missing climber in silverton area
I hope that he is found safe. Strange that his phone was found on a trail.
Century Bound, eventually.

Re: Missing climber in silverton area
The forest service vehicles and horses/alpaca are at the trailhead for blasting of the avalanche debris on the Elk Creek trail before the beaver ponds. When I went up Thursday the trail was temporarily closed for blasting.
