About this episode
Strapped in a harness, on the edge of a mountain, the snow bridge lets out a hollow crack as it gives way. The story of two climbers whose fates are intertwined by a length of rope.
Big thanks to Jim Davidson for sharing his story!
Jim wrote a book with Kevin Vaughan about surviving the fall on Mt. Rainier, called The Ledge. He also wrote a book about his experiences during and after the Nepal earthquake called The Next Everest. Check them out!
Produced by Justin Kramon, original score by Renzo Gorrio, artwork by Teo Ducot.
