The search for a 52 year old hiker lost in a vast area of Eagle Mountain near Coquitlam has been called off.
Coquitlam RCMP and the local search and rescue have made the decision to suspend the search for Ali Naderi.
The experienced hiker was reported missing August 23rd and search volunteers and others have scoured all the trails in the area.
RCMP Corporal Michael McLauglin says given the time frame Naderi has been gone, his lack of supplies and the large area where he went missing, it doesn't make sense to continue to put others at risk.
