The North Shore Rescue (NSR) will continue its search Tuesday for a man who has been missing in the backcountry near Grouse Mountain for almost 48 hours.

Crews began the search after 84-year-old Won Kil Kim of Surrey was last seen approximately midday Sunday on the Dam or Little Goat Alpine Trail.

NSR says Kim is familiar with the trail, and he’s been in the area many times, but he may have fallen or become disoriented.

The search so far has included main trails that Kim is known to frequent, but NSR says it will expand the search area Tuesday.

NSR says multiple crews have joined the search, using drones and a new device called Lifeseeker, which sends a signal to locate cellphones out of the range of towers — though it requires phones to have battery power.
