Since people are asking, how to geolocate a #hiker given only a general location and a grainy photo of their legs hanging off a cliff (thread) 1/x 
1. Identify the general area (if available) of where the hiker was known to be. In this case, the location was near Mt. Waterman (a well known area in the Angeles Crest, popular with hikers). 2/x
2. If someone is lost along the Angeles Crest (if you keep tabs on the posts of @SEBLASD they post regularly on rescues), you find they are either NORTH of the Angeles Crest Highway or SOUTH of the Angeles Crest Freeway. How do we figure out which one here? 3/x
Spectacular beauty of the #Astore Valley, #GilgitBaltistan: trekked from Rupal to Rama Meadows around the NE side of Nanga Parbat. #Pakistan is a #hiker’s paradise! (1/4)
Inclement weather meant changed plans, but safety comes first. We opted at #RamaMeadows not to continue on to #FairyMeadows as originally envisaged. But a great reason to go back! (2/4)
#GilgitBaltistan is a beautiful yet fragile environment: what a privilege to visit and meet the people of #Astore, who work hard to support their families in high pastures and summer settlements, and the backbreaking labour of women harvesting grass. (3/4)
