Hey guys. My best friend Steven Grunwald was solo tripping to the park and was supposed to meet some guy named Chase around August 29-30 to climb. We can’t find this guy and my friend has been missing since the 30th. My buddy’s car was in Glacier Gorge and we think he was looking to do some 4th class scrambles. News keeps saying he was doing the traverse but we also think it’s likely he was doing Arrowhead Arete. If you know anything please post or call me at 859six30nine108. Thanks.

Have you checked any of the Facebook groups? There are a few popular ones to find climbing partners in Colorado.

Has the sheriff been contacted?

You can do a search for users named "Chase" on MP.

That could be narrowed down substantially by someone with the right IT knowledge:

  • users active within the last month
  • users from Colorado (not necessarily, but more likely the partner)
  • users with recent ticks or to-dos in RMNP

Nate, you can make a post in the forum about site usage, called "Mountain Project.com" or something like that.  To get some help with that search criteria. The site managers are checking that forum all the time.
