Oof, so no satellite signaling device OR detailed itinerary? Or perhaps they've already checked his planned route and not found anything?

Their planned route has been searched extensively. They were at a point where they were bringing in random employees from RMNP - from biologist to dispatch - to help assist with the search and his expected route was part of that.

That is a huge search area. The latest update from the NPS is that he sent a text around noon on the 27th indicating he was nearly at the summit of Alice. Assuming he started from East Inlet like it says and was moving CCW, that leaves a lot of ground he still had to cover.

Sounds like he did have an itinerary, experience, and working phone with which he updated his wife. I definitely can relate to those choices.
Sorry to hear about the continuing search thus far and appreciate all the effort that has gone into the search.

Heads up, there is a closure from Alice to McHenrys beginning this evening to give SAR crews ample room and limit distractions for dog teams. See map below.
See the press release here.

The flyer at the Sandbeach Lake TH has photos of Chad Pallansch as well as a description:
