With the hiker's permission, could you share with the list any  
"lesson's learned"?

Was there an equipment failure?
If there was a navigation error, how could it have been prevented?
Miscommunication regarding the next check-in?
What would they do next time in a similar situation?

I think this sort of "analysis" after even minor incidents is helpful  
to the hiking community.
