Hidden Mountains: Survival and Reckoning After a Climb Gone Wrong

In 2018, two couples set out on an expedition to Alaska’s Hidden Mountains. As they reached the top of an unclimbed peak, a rockfall stranded and grievously injured one of the team, and over the next nine hours, the other three climbers had to work to reach their companion. Hidden Mountains recounts this story and experience of a climbing adventure gone wrong and the impossible and harrowing rescue that followed. With visceral prose that poses the questions of risk vs. reward and the issues of wilderness accessibility, this book weaves the history of rock-climbing with how to live in the wake of life-altering trauma while still following your passions.
