Yes, Cody Ayala was part of last year’s Six-Pack of Peaks Challenge. I’ve seen some pics of him in the hospital, and it looks like he’s going to be okay.
I don’t know Chris Chung or the unidentified third hiker who hiked down on their own. I did see Chris walk off the helicopter with a limp, but it was encouraging that he was walking!
This is sobering reminder that even with the right gear and know-how, the mountains can be unpredictable. Be safe!
