Party split up, one lost near peak
Two
hikers had intended to summit San Jacinto Peak.
Apparently one of the hikers was experienced and
one was not. Somehow the two became separated and
the inexperienced partner lost his way on the
decent from the summit. Darkness overtook the
lost hiker who was forced to spend the night in
the open. Weather was fair that night. RMRU was
called out and the subject was found by a ground
team in the Miller Saddle area early the next
morning. The subject was weak and dehydrated but
otherwise OK. The hiker was escorted to the upper
Tram station under his own power by RMRU.
