The 21-year-old man from Arizona was the second person to die while hiking in Colorado this week

Search and rescue teams have recovered the body of a 21-year-old hiker who fell 800 feet to his death while trying to navigate a technical traverse 20 miles southwest of Telluride, the San Miguel County Sheriff’s Office said Thursday.

The search began Tuesday after the Arizona man was reported overdue from hiking the ridge between 14,000-foot peaks El Diente and Mount Wilson, the sheriff’s office said in a social media post. The man, who was described as an experienced climber, has not yet been publicly identified.
