-
- Wilderness
In August of 1967, a young climber fell and broke his leg while trying to ascend the North Face of the Grand Teton. It took 7 rangers from the Jenny lake district 3 days to haul him down. It was a risky, complicated rescue and they did without food. I talk to former ranger Ted Wilson about the rescue, about coming to terms with the victim's critical statements to the media, why people are still interested in the 1967 rescue and the advice he has for young climbers.The music on this episode comes from Brian Fawkes and was used under the creative commons license. us.creativecommons.org/.
