I hope Matthew can be found.   an angelic monkey

I hope so, too!  From the posts that I have been following, they seem to have a good lead regarding a possible area to find Matt--the Minarets!

Yes, it is a fact that the remains on Spooner Summit were followed up on, and ruled out.

As you all know, Matthew disappeared one year ago this coming Thursday.

Just yesterday, we received some very good information. A group of campers who were camped near Matthew last year, came back for their annual trip THIS week. When they saw the posters at Shady Rest regarding Matthew's disappearance, they remembered him VERY well.

One of these persons asked Matthew to join them on a hike last July 17th....Matthew politely declined, and told them, "I can't, I'm going out to the Minarets."

BOOM!

Wow, that's a great lead. Are there any more details of the conversation you can provide?

That narrows the search area considerably,

That's pretty much it, Crankster.....but that is HUGE news.

I'm trying to follow up on one other lead right now which could be even bigger news.

Will post anything new.

I'm eager to hear. "The Minaret's"; very specific, as opposed to saying Mt. Ritter or Banner...

Nice points, LAhiker. I've been looking through Secor trying to put myself in Matt's place. I'm leaning towards Ken or Michael Minaret.

Find Matthew Greene shared a link.
19 hours ago

Today was my last day in Mammoth. Waiting for my red eye home. Can't begin to describe how hard it was to turn away from the place that brought me closer to Matt and to my father for the past week. I think it was the first time all week I cried.

Yesterday I did a hike alone, and found this deer off the beaten path (literally-went slightly off trail). It made my day and I knew Matt was with me: http://youtu.be/_PcsoLd0CEU

I know the rangers are being diligent about making folks aware as they apply for permits within our search area. We were told of a few groups going out that way.

God bless you all. Everyone has gone above and beyond, in all manner if ways. All I can say is Thank You so much.

The forecast has not changed.....significant snow is due in to the region by later Friday, which will put an end to the search season for this year.

 I was unable to secure a partner this week, so did not get back out.

 I will be spending the coming months finishing my book, as I recently was given permission by Matthew's family to include his story as my closing chapter.

 It's been great that SO many here have kept Matthew's case at the forefront, in spite of no new news.

 Never forget....this type of case is not a sprint, but a marathon.

 Peace,
 DR

Still waiting for Matt to be found   an angelic monkey

Find Matthew Greene
12 hrs 

2 years ago you vanished into thin air. 2 long, long years...seems like so much longer. One year ago daddy and I hiked up to Lake Ediza, posting flyers on trailheads and looking out over the Minarets where we think you remain. We still have so many questions; more questions than answers.

There's been both good and bad to come out of this; some incredible selfless people have gone above & beyond trying to get us answers. I have no words to express our gratitude.

We miss you and we will find you; hopefully sooner rather than later though we know the odds involved.

RIP Matt.

Another group of searchers plans to search in September--if needed.

 Please read the following link: http://www.highsierratopix.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=12843

 Also the search in the Minarets for evidence, on 9/10-9/15, consisting of members from several forums, is a go, unless of course Dean or someone elsefinds something by then.

Thank you for keeping Matthew Greene's thread updated, grace-land.  Perhaps hikers or climbers will come across his remains, but it's good to know there will be a concerted effort to search for him in September if need be to try to bring him home.

Unfortunately we were unsuccessful in finding any evidence.Sad

 We spent hours searching the fall zones, and the base of the glaciers, on the Southeast Glacier, including the Clyde variation, and the Ritter-Banner Saddle routes, each on separate days, to allow a good combing of the areas, but to be honest, a large group could spend weeks in just one of these areas, and still easily miss something.

 We also checked the route between Ediza-Minaret Lakes, a couple of times, since Matt mentioned it being one of his objectives while in Mammoth.

 Also climbed up beyond Deadhorse Lake to the check the falls zones right underneath Kehrlein Minaret, rough country.

 All these areas are very steep, unstable terrain, which no one without at least a solid class 3 background should attempt.

 These results will not deter us from continuing our efforts to bring closure for the Greene Family, a fellow mountain brother. As long as their are folks, who have the experience, the more importantly the willingness, to continue to search, we shall do what can to bring a successful closure for all.

 So our search continues.....

 PS Wishing you a quick and full recovery D.

Thanks for your efforts, Maverick01. Yes....it's very challenging terrain.

 How many were you in your search party?

 Weather wasn't the best for you.

 I'm doing well, thanks....heading back in Friday.

Thank you for bringing us up to date, grace-land.  I hope for the sake of Mr. Green's family and friends he can be found and perhaps the mystery of his disappearance solved, and he can be laid to rest.  The not knowing must be so difficult.

MuffyBee and Green Eyes!

You're welcome.

The searchers have worked so hard to find him and bring closure for the family.  I think the searches have ended for the year because of the weather, but they are committed to resume next year.  Hopefully, the drone will be helpful in the search and prevents dangerous climbs to find Matt.

 There is a chute leading to a ravine between the main mass of Kehrlein's
 southern side, and an outer seperate complex, an area if someone fell
 in-between would never be seen, unless someone climbed into it with the
 intention to search, which I could not do because of a thunderstorm moving
 in at the time. The ledge system west of this concealed ravine, on the
 southern face of Kehrlein, would also be an area of interest, but would
 require climbing and rappelling gear to reach and conduct a thorough search.

 Located someone, who is willing to attending next years search, and is an
 expert drone pilot, he does aerial searches for SAR, and has a drone
 that can fly at these altitude, this will hopefully eliminate the need for
 anyone having to search those class 5 ledges, and put themselves in danger.
