Beck Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 did that happen recently? contact the AAJ for accidents in american mountaineering,in boulder, 303 384 0110 with questions... i know a ranger at rainier, he and a buddy were trapped for over a day in a crevasse on rainier back in the sixties, he climbed to the top with a sharpened spoon! Rick inspires me to always carry a spoon in my parka.. and never surrender Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluck Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 Crazy. Exactly one year ago today I was climbing the upper Exum under clear skies and beautiful weather. Getting pinned by a storm high on that route would suck ass. That guy is one tough bastard. Hope he recovers well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bug Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 I like the part about the 16 year-old "wearing denim cutoffs under rain pants". Good alpine apparel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
