Mountain Blizzard: Stuck in a Snow Cave
Caught in a whiteout halfway up New Zealand鈥檚 highest peak, Mark and Paul take refuge.
Mark Inglis is a search & rescue mountaineer. It鈥檚 his job to save other people. But on a routine practice mission, he鈥檒l find himself in deep trouble. Caught in a whiteout halfway up New Zealand鈥檚 highest peak, Mark and his colleague Phil take refuge in a tiny snow cave. But as the hours tick by into days, how long can they hunker down before their bodies, and minds, give out? Stay put and wait for help that might never come? Or take their chances in the fearsome snowstorm?
Many thanks to Mark Inglis. For more about his life story, read No Mean Feat.
