The unnamed man got lost and found himself without phone signal after being left by colleagues who went ahead without him, the Chaffee County Search and Rescue team said.
He endured stormy weather and multiple falls before being found in a "large search effort" the next morning. He was stabilised and taken to hospital, but there has been no further update on his condition.
The officials suggested the incident "might cause some awkward encounters at the office in the coming days and weeks".
The drama unfolded on Friday as a 15-strong group from the company - which has also not been named - ventured along a trail up Mt Shavano, which is 14,000ft (4,300m) high.
