00:00:00
I was in my blanket that wasn't even a
00:00:02
blanket shriveled up like genuinely
00:00:04
scared for my life because I thought I
00:00:06
was going to get hypothermia and our
00:00:08
plan was to get through the whole Tador
00:00:10
ranges. You're looking at close to 5,000
00:00:12
m elevation gain and I think it's about
00:00:14
80k worth. So that's a big shift by the
00:00:16
time we're about 4 hours in. We're like
00:00:18
[ __ ] this weather is bad. You started to
00:00:20
get some crosswinds that were just like
00:00:23
yeah I haven't experienced anything like
00:00:24
it that. And then we got on this ridge
00:00:26
line and it was that point where I
00:00:27
looked at my hands and I was like, "Holy
00:00:29
shit." We pulled the pin and realized
00:00:31
that we have to be rescued. It's a
00:00:32
7-hour process of back and forth
00:00:34
communication dealing with the rescue
00:00:36
services. They weren't going to come
00:00:38
because the weather was far too
00:00:39
volatile, far too dangerous for their
00:00:41
choppers. And eventually they got in
00:00:43
touch with the Air Force and they sent
00:00:45
NH90 come and extract us. It was real
00:00:47
deal [ __ ] being in your head in a place
00:00:49
of like, "Fuck, I'm going to die. I
00:00:50
could possibly die." It was intense to
00:00:52
deal with.
