Authorities are currently searching for a missing hiker in the Sierras after he failed to return and meet up with his friends on Sunday.
Inyo County sheriff’s department says that rescuers are currently searching for Gary Dankworth, a 60-year-old hiker and doctor from Carson City. Dankworth planned to solo climb the 13,855-foot Norman Clyde peak in the Palisades section of the Sierras. He had been camping with friends near Finger Lake in the John Muir Wilderness of Inyo National Forest. Norman Clyde peak is a rough and difficult climb–climbers must scramble over boulder fields, pass glaciers and hike along a narrow ridge with steep drop offs before even beginning to ascend the mountain.
When he didn’t return on Sunday, July 29, his friends alerted authorities and the search began the same day at about 1:30pm. Dankworth is 60 years old, and has black/grey hair and a mustache. He was last seen wearing a light gray hat, a tan long sleeve shirt, light gray pants, red boots and was carrying a day-pack with him.
We’ll be following the story closely and hoping that the sheriff’s department is able to find him safe.
Inyo County sheriff's spokeswoman Carma Roper says rescuers on Monday sought 60-year-old Gary Dankworth. Roper confirmed Dankworth is a doctor from Carson City.
The doctor was reported missing on Sunday, July 29. The search began that day around 1:20pm.
Dr. Dankworth is 60 years old, has black/gray hair, and a moustache. He was last seen wearing a light gray hat, a tan long sleeve shirt, light gray pants, red boots and a day-pack.
We called the office of Dr. Dankworth in Carson City and workers there didn't want to comment.
Dankworth left friends camped Saturday afternoon at Finger Lake in the John Muir Wilderness of Inyo National Forest to summit nearby, 13,855-foot Norman Clyde peak, a difficult climb in the rugged Palisades section of the Sierra that contains four of California's highest peaks
