Rescuers are also looking for another missing hiker in another part of the same mountain range. Two more people died on the range in recent weeks, while four others had to be lifted off the mountain by helicopter in mid-December.
A spokesperson for the San Bernardino county sheriff’s department said: "On Friday at about 7.30pm, a hiker identified as 65-year-old Julian Sands of North Hollywood, was reported missing in the Baldy Bowl area of Mt. Baldy."Search and Rescue crews responded and began a search. Due to trail conditions and the risk of avalanche, the ground crews were pulled off the mountain on Saturday evening.
Friends and former colleagues of Mr Sands took to social media to share their worries about his disappearance, and best wishes. I’ve known since Friday that my friend Julian Sands has been missing on mt baldy. I’m devastated. A very close family friend who was an adventurer in everything he did. I’ve said many prayers.Actor and dancer Melanie Kinnaman added: "Our friend Julian Sands has been missing from a hiking trip in the mountains of Southern California for nearly one week.
Wow
'Dangerous' being the operative word
Three days without water is the max he can go and 48 hours without warmth. If he hasn't got basic survival equipment like a survival blanket and flask of water it's now a recovery operation. You have to be realistic.
