A single yellow glove, stiff with frost, sat draped over a permit map at the Holloway trailhead - a photograph that launched a search while its owner lay forty feet up the slope with a broken leg and a core temperature of 93°F. How did Dawn Jones survive nearly forty-four hours alone inside a makeshift shelter, with a green spiral journal of self-instructions and rescuers searching the wrong side of Brecker Peak for thirty-six hours?
In this episode, we follow the timeline and choices that kept Dawn alive and the missteps that delayed her rescue, asking whether careful planning can still be undone by small accidents and larger failures - and what that means for search-and-rescue procedures.
Person: Dawn Jones
Date: May 10-14, 2019
Location: Brecker Peak, southeast slope; Holloway trailhead; Crestfield
Status: Survived; transported to hospital in Crestfield
Item: green spiral journal
- Found at 9:47 AM on May 14, 2019: a single yellow glove stiff with frost at the Holloway trailhead kiosk.
- Dawn reached the summit of Brecker Peak at 9:15 AM on May 11 at 11,200 feet elevation and descended southeast on a less-traveled ridge.
- The fibula fractured roughly 600 feet below the summit at approximately 10:40 AM when a boot slipped on refrozen snow over scree.
- Dawn spent nearly 44 hours alone with a core temperature recorded at 93°F and sheltered about 40 feet inside a makeshift windbreak of an orange emergency space blanket.
- Searchers spent 36 hours searching the wrong face of the mountain while a helicopter passed overhead and Dawn could not reach it.
