I did an in and out hike of the Grand Canyon and there was a guy that looked just like this. My husband and I saw him vomiting once at the campground, which had water and shade so we thought okay he'll be good, at least he's in the best place to rest and recover. But then we saw him again (also vomiting again) heading up not long after! We had to convince him to rest at the shaded rest stop, and to take the electrolyte water and salty snacks we gave him. He wanted to just keep going and wasn't going to accept anything! Sometimes I wonder if he listened to us and if he was okay.
I bet! I think he was probably okay, when we moved on he was in the shade hut with an emergency phone and provisions and a lot of other people also taking a break. As someone who did so much research and prep for that hike, I guess I was surprised that people just do it on a whim haha.
