Hidden Mountains

When a climb goes wrong, there is not much that can be done, other than trying to get help.
Hidden Mountains goes into the story of such a climb, one that went horribly wrong, leaving one person paralyzed, and another living with the guilt of surviving, as well as becoming a constant caregiver to her boyfriend.
As four friends set out for the trip of a lifetime, they could not know that their lives were about to change. The wilderness of Alaska can be unforgiving, and while there are many dangers that one can see, not all of them are within an eye's view.
This book follows the perilous hours that the climbers were on the mountain, the rescue and its personnel, and the harrowing hours of the ‘not knowing' while they waiting for more answers.

I enjoyed reading through this book, and the insights that were gained from it. While most of us enjoy the outdoors, anything, including climbing, can be dangerous. Even planning for every possible “could happen” does not guarantee that you are prepared for the unexpected.

Great read overall.
