He survived stormy weather and multiple falls after reaching a Colorado mountain summit on his own.

A hiker was rescued from a mountain in the US state of Colorado after being apparently left behind the previous day by his colleagues during an office retreat.

The unnamed man got lost and found himself without phone signal after being left by colleagues who went ahead without him, the Chaffee County Search and Rescue team said.

He endured stormy weather and multiple falls before being found in a “large search effort” the next morning. He was stabilised and taken to hospital, but there has been no further update on his condition.

    The officials suggested the incident “might cause some awkward encounters at the office in the coming days and weeks”.

    To say the least. Nothing builds teams like leaving a man behind to die.

    They might as well confiscate his Swingline while they’re at it.
