Man dies on Longs Peak, Colorado
Recovery operations completed sunday near the Keyhole
On Sunday, September 18, recovery operations took place for Russell Jacobs, 25, from Westminster, Colorado near the Keyhole Route on Longs Peak. Rocky Mountain National Park’s Search and Rescue Team contracted with Trans Aero helicopter to assist with prepositioning park rangers and aerial recovery operations. Jacobs’ body was recovered at approximately 5 p.m. Late Friday afternoon, September 16, Jacobs contacted a friend via cellular phone that he was lost and that the weather was deteriorating rapidly. Jacobs was unprepared for winter conditions or to spend an unplanned night at elevations above 13,000 feet. This information was relayed to park rangers. Park rangers were briefly able to contact Jacobs via text message to ascertain his location and learned he was going to try to move toward the Agnes Vaille Shelter. Communication with him was then lost.

Hiking alone, in bad condtions, without extra clothes enough to spend a night in the open, not knowing how to use smart phone for navigation, not having inReach, not having a power bank to charge phone is OK unless something happens. Then minor mishap like getting slighly off the trail may lead to an epic rescue and worse.
