A Montana hiker is recovering after being impaled by his trekking pole while climbing Granite Peak, the state’s highest mountain. David Cifaldi was about three miles from the summit when he slipped and fell, leaving the steel-tipped pole lodged in his side. Rather than request a helicopter rescue, Cifaldi and two friends hiked 10 miles back to the trailhead before driving to a hospital. More from The Washington Post at the link in our bio. #hiking
