MATTHEW GREENE, DISAPPEARED JULY 17, 2013, ANSEL ADAMS WILDERNESS, CALIFORNIA.

Matthew Greene, 39, arrived in the area of the Eastern Sierra Mountains on June 27, 2013, to climb with friends, but when his Subaru blew a head gasket, they continued their trip back to Colorado whilst he stayed behind at a campground near Mammoth Lakes, called Shady Rest, to wait for repairs. Greene planned to drive to Colorado to join the others for more climbing as soon as his car was ready. But Matthew vanished and was never seen again.

What happened? Did he succumb to the metavolcanic rock on the Ritter Range and the Minarets? At the campsite, the authorities found some of his gear missing and a guidebook with pages torn out of it. In the book, “High Sierra: Peaks, Passes, and Trails”, chapter 12 was torn out “The Minarets and June Lake.” An exhaustive search of the Ansel Adams Wilderness failed to turn up any sign of Matt and he remains missing.
