How sad. What a miserable thing for all.

Not good.

The search operation began when Mokkapati became separated from his group and failed to return from a planned day hike.

Right out of the Missing 411 books.

What a waste. Stupid foreigner doesn’t follow instructions and now an American rescuer is dead

May God have mercy on the souls of Tim Staples and Sreenivas "Sree" Mokkapati.

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

Well, I hiked all over that area as a teenager. But not in snow storms, that’s a suicide mission. It was scary enough scaling the wall next to San Antonio falls even tho it had signs saying you can kill yourself slipping on these rocks. But when your 17 you know. But anyway up ice house canyon, following the stream or all the way to the top of Baldy and down following the ski lift. But like i said why anyone would try in snow with no snow equipment. I pray they find the guy but its been about a week . And that mountain rescue squad is one of best so if one of their guys died its dangerous.

Sounds like they need to cut their losses, head for the lodge...and wish the next hikers the best of luck.

I went to school with a guy who, along with his younger sister, died when they both fell down an ice shute on Mt. Baldy. They were there on a family outing. Very tragic.
