Against the Avalanche: The Miraculous Survival of Adam Herman and Conor Lodge | E100


Listen Later

In December 2013, Adam Herman, 24, and Conor Lodge, 22, embarked on what was supposed to be a routine descent down New Hampshire's Mount Washington. Little did they know, their journey would take a treacherous turn when they found themselves caught in the midst of an avalanche in Tuckerman Ravine.

The sheer force of nature swept them a daunting 800 feet down the mountainside, leaving them battling against the elements for survival. Despite the harrowing circumstances, both men miraculously emerged from the avalanche, defying the odds against them.

A snow ranger with the U.S. Forest Service, Jeff Lane described the treacherous terrain of Tuckerman Ravine, characterized by exposed rock, water-ice, and cliffs reaching heights of up to 70 or 100 feet.

Given the unforgiving nature of the early winter conditions and the potential for fatal consequences, the fact that Adam and Conor were able to walk away from the incident under their own power is nothing short of remarkable.

Their tale of survival amidst the wrath of nature serves as a testament to their resilience and the unwavering determination to overcome adversity. Join us as we delve into the gripping account of Adam Herman and Conor Lodge's fight for survival against the formidable forces of Mount Washington's Tuckerman Ravine.
