The Boot Below: Why a Climber Vanished Before the Serac Fell
-
Letto da:

Di:
A lone climbing boot sat upright on a stone at 9,400 feet for six days before anyone noticed it - laced, buckled, and without its pair - while four climbers above had already died in a serac collapse. What did that boot, found 900 feet below the trailhead, prove about a man whose boots were later recovered still on his feet?
In this episode, you will hear a factual account of the Mount Iverson expedition on November 8, 2019, the sequence of the summit push, and the puzzling physical and medical evidence that followed; how could Warren Slade’s solitary boot end up far below the route while his body’s boots remained in the debris field?
