1974 Katahdin Ice Climbing Disaster: Red Sky By Morning


Listen Later

SPRING HAS FINALLY SPRUNG! Our hosts will be the first to tell you (because this is a weather podcast) that we have finally left the snow and ice behind - gardening, biking, hiking, enjoying nature! But, B will be the first to remind you, that while nature is beautiful and peaceful, you gotta respect it. Today’s tale takes us back 1974, to the snowy peaks of Mt. Katahdin, where six ice climbers face a storm of epic proportions. As the boy scouts say, “Be prepared.”
