The Compass She Held: Why Angela Waited Alone in the Snow

Letto da:

Di:
A quiet, controlled decision left Angela Weaver sitting upright in eighteen inches of snow, spine straight, holding a compass with a red lanyard whose needle lay still-she was facing northeast toward Hollow Creek and had been dead for hours. Four people would later be found alive because of actions she took alone; why did she take a summit team's baseplate compass, a non-official route card, and a jet-replacement wrench from camp and leave in the dark?
In this episode, we tell the sequence of events on Haverford Peak in October 2011 from the perspective of who Angela Weaver was and what she did at high camp; the episode follows Angela’s preparations, the expedition decisions, the radio calls, and the fifty-six minutes that ended with her leaving camp-what do those choices reveal about her intent and plan?
