This is the gentleman we are searching for on Mt. Baldy. Many repeat hikers have had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Kim on the trail. His goal was to climb this mountain 1,000 by the end of 2017 (he had already summited over 700 times).

I've encountered this hiker on Baldy's Ski Hut Trail a few times. Such a great personality. He once climbed to the summit 100 days in a row: 4,000 feet of gain each time. For 2017, he was shooting to make his 1,000th summit of the 10,064' peak. Not bad for a 78-year old. He's been missing since Friday and so I fear the worst.
