We send our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Brook Cheuvront. Special thanks to the SAR teams in South Africa for their dedicated work. This a reminder, and probably a wake-up call for those who plan to go on a solo hike, please make sure to pack an emergency bag, and if you don't feel comfortable hiking alone, plan out a group hike with your friends or family. Please be safe out there everyone!
