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