A 61-year-old hiker popped his own dislocated shoulder back into place during a hike on New Hampshire’s Mount Washington \u2014 and kept climbing.<\/p>\n

Connecticut resident Kurt Siuzdak was hiking Mount Washington<\/a> earlier this week when he suffered the painful injury after slipping on wet granite.<\/p>\n

The news was reported by The Boston Globe on Thursday, citing a Wednesday statement from the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department.<\/p>\n

Siuzdak began hiking at around 4 a.m. on Tuesday, according to the report.<\/p>\n

Six hours later, at around 10 a.m., he slipped on a wet granite slab in a section called the Lakes of the Clouds.<\/p>\n

In the fall, he dislocated his shoulder<\/a> and injured his back.<\/p>\n

About a mile and a half from the summit of Mount Washington, Siuzdak decided to keep going \u2014 slowly and steadily.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He was found by another hiker about five hours later.<\/p>\n

Siuzdak told rescuers he planned to press on and “figure out his options” once he reached the summit, as the Globe noted.<\/p>\n

When two officers hiked down to meet him at around 5 p.m., Siuzdak was still making his way up the mountain at a slow pace, officials said.<\/p>\n

Flanked by the two officers, Siuzdak kept climbing.<\/p>\n

He eventually reached the summit<\/a> under his own power.<\/p>\n

After being evaluated by emergency personnel, he asked to be taken to his car so he could drive himself to urgent care, the Globe reported.<\/p>\n

At some point during the hike, Siuzdak managed to reset his dislocated shoulder himself, officials said.<\/p>\n

The agency noted he had followed the agency’s recommendations by packing extra gear, including warm clothing and a first aid kit.<\/p>\n

“These items turned out to be much needed after his accident, and he was thankful that he had heeded the recommendations,” officials said, according to The Boston Globe.<\/p>\n
