Hope this guy makes it out alive. He's ten days overdue.

It's clear he was travelling light, very light, and solo, in rough terrain. Someone who's very fit and very experienced can do it in terrain they know, but there's not a lot of margin for error.

Conflicting reports regarding his hiking/wilderness experience and skills: close friend says very experienced, RCMP say not.

"Squamish RCMP say Wright has little experience with wilderness hiking, was wearing running shoes and did not take a tent or sleeping bag with him."
