Successful SAR mission on my phone with ngie, as we found it at 4400ft where I lost it last month on July 7th!! Crazy good luck, as it was found in the super steep brushy section.

Other than losing my phone coming down from summitting Mount Phelps, it was a fun day getting up to the top with a peakbagging friend. I lost the phone somewhere above 4300 ft.
