On August 30th, 43-year-old Stanislav Volo set out to hike from the Sea to Sky Gondola summit to the Habrich Climber’s Access Trail but did not return.
On Friday, Squamish Search and Rescue confirmed he had been found alive and was safe.

“We know so many people across Squamish, the Sea to Sky, and beyond have been following his story, sharing our posts, sending messages, and hoping alongside his family.”
