He survived stormy weather and multiple falls after reaching a Colorado mountain summit on his own.

A hiker was rescued from a mountain in the US state of Colorado after being apparently left behind the previous day by his colleagues during an office retreat.

The unnamed man got lost and found himself without phone signal after being left by colleagues who went ahead without him, the Chaffee County Search and Rescue team said.

He endured stormy weather and multiple falls before being found in a “large search effort” the next morning. He was stabilised and taken to hospital, but there has been no further update on his condition.

    In their statement, officials said the hiker reached the summit on his own at about 11:30 local time (17:30 GMT), but became “disorientated” on his descent.

    His colleagues are said to have told him that he was on the wrong route, and suggested that he regain the trail.

    Sounds more like he left them, not that they left him.
