B.C. hiker reported missing in backcountry of Whatcom County, Washington

South Twin is described by backcountry website Summit Post as the following: “The South Twin is the highest point along the strikingly jagged ridge known as Twin Sisters Range, 10 miles southwest of Mount Baker. With its considerable 3,520 feet (1,072 metres) of prominence, the South Twin is a major peakbagger destination, especially for those who are working on prominence lists. It’s worth mentioning early on in this description that the west ridge offers some of the finest scrambling to be found anywhere in the state of Washington.”

WCSO is asking anyone who might have seen Gursimran Singh Randhawa to call 9-1-1.

In response to the social media post about Randhawa’s pickup truck on Middle Fork Road, a person on Facebook named Hunter Elenbaas said, “I was there on Sunday and saw his vehicle, his bike and his tracks, but I never saw him.” Elenbaas said he gave all this information to search and rescue personnel.
