I'm glad this wasn't more serious. Thanks to Pitkin County and Mountain Rescue Aspen.

Of course, had it been a stranger you should feel free to say whatever half-baked judgmental non-sense you want. Right?

Big difference in divulging names shortly after an incident potentially prior to family being notified, whether they are 14ers.com members or not, and passing judgment about some unidentified person. Some may find both disagreeable, but they are an apples and oranges in comparison.

Circumstances and identities aside, this sounds like a clean rescue operation. Outstanding work as always by SAR, and a blessing that the news is good! Anytime I see "Rescue" and "Maroon Bells" in the same line, my stomach drops.

Do we know what model of PLB they used?

Just glad to hear they are ok. A friend of mine is planning to do The Bells as his first 14er. Crazy guy.

I will not even bother with the rest of this thread if there aren't going to be any judgmental statements made about skills, equipment, or mental logic. What a buzz-kill.

Yeah it's always good to hear about what happened to others, not because what happened was good, but because everything in life can teach us lessons.
