他失踪的时间正是我们上周六去Mt.Baker的时间，路线也一样,我们在Coleman Glacier附近没有看见track，也没有看见有人在爬Mt.Baker(CD route)

我们回程的路上，约晚九点钟左右遇到过一个solo hiker，会是他吗？ 其它同伴能记得他的特征吗？

The missing climber is Kevin LaFleur, one of my best friends and one of my two main climbing partners. He called a friend around 10am on Saturday to say hi, but we're not sure if he was high enough on the mountain for cell reception or if he was still driving there. Either way, he would have been on the CD/Roman Wall area way after John Scurlock was flying by, hence no tracks.

If anybody who was skiing off Glacier Creek Rd. has any info whatsoever on any solo climbers they saw or talked to that were planning on skinning above 7000 feet it would be very helpful. He was using Atomic Kongur skis (black with the blue splotchy marks) with Fritschi bindings; probably a red/orange jacket; probably a blue golite ski pack. He has reddish brown hair,is of average height (5'8" or so), has a stocky athletic build, and often wears a white sweatband when skinning up. He is an excellent skier and a fast climber. Below are links to two trip reports I've posted in the past six months that he's been on with me. The face shots on the second report are better, but they both give a sense of his gear and build.

We've spent the past two days searching but the weather has been really bad, and all tracks are now completely covered over. Thanks for reading...

Lulu, it was Sunday evening though! The solo hiker had a brief conversations with Gloria and seems to me he did not know the area too well! He asked Gloria how far is the trail head and how long is it going to take him.   :(

It was Saturday. We went there on the same day.

My Bad! Sat evening indeed. My mind is playing tricks on me!  :twisted:

the late start of the person we met doesn't coincide with the start time of the missing climber and neither does his lack of knowledge of the area but it still could have been him.

The guy I met and spoke to was not Kevin per above description and from the link's photos.  

The guy I met was on snowshoes (not skis), not very athletic build, outfits were mostly black (or dark colours).  It was really dark at the time I met that guy and I did not have my head lamp on.
