A hiker named Stanislav Volo, 43, was reported missing in mountainous terrain near Squamish, B.C., and after a five-day search, he has been found alive and walking out of the area on his own. Volo had last been seen attempting to hike Mount Habrich Loop but failed to catch the gondola back down on Sunday. He was taken to hospital with minor injuries after being located on the Indian Arm forest service road on Friday. The search involved multiple agencies, including RCMP and Squamish Search and Rescue, who narrowed their search area based on a garbled 911 call from Volo's cellphone on Tuesday.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
