Hiker on an office retreat left behind by coworkers on mountain, rescued the next day

A man who was left behind on a Colorado mountain while on hiking retreat with coworkers was rescued by emergency services. 

The man, who has not been named, was part of a group of 15 people hiking Mount Shavano, a 14,000-foot mountain in the southern Rocky Mountains. All 15 were coworkers participating in an office retreat and were taking the "standard route" to the top of the mountain. That route is an 11-mile hike, according to AllTrails, and almost nine hours to complete on average. The group had started the trek at sunrise on Aug. 23. 

"In what might cause some awkward encounters at the office in the coming days and weeks," the man was left to "complete his final summit push alone," Chaffee County Search and Rescue said on social media.
