Sure he went out on his own. I'm not going to say he's the brightest crayon in the box (although he was an engineer for Intel). He should have left information with someone in case of this kind of emergency. Truth is, for those of us that enjoy that kind of adventure, he's given us an excellent reminder of the consequences of not taking precautions. A boulder fell on him, that's a million to one shot. That's bad luck on top of some poor decsion making. I'm impressed with his thought process and his determination to unfuck himself.
He sounds like kind of a flake in the quotes that I've read. He's only 26 though. I'm sure we've all done equally stupid things at 26 that didn't result in us having to cut off an arm to live.
He was trapped in an avalanche a few years back too, so maybe this guy just has a black cloud following him. I
