High in the unforgiving mountains of Idaho’s Frank Church Wilderness, a father and his 13-year-old son set out on the climbing adventure of a lifetime. But one crack of rock changes everything. A massive boulder tears loose from a granite wall and suddenly, veteran climber David Finlayson is falling 1,200 feet above the ground. His body shattered, bleeding out on the side of a remote mountain. Dangling alone on the cliff, his son Charlie hears only silence. No movement. No answer. Just dead weight hanging from the rope. What follows is an unbelievable fight for survival that pushes a 13-year-old boy far beyond anything a child should ever have to face. With no rescue beacon, No cell service, and no one coming to save them. In this episode, hear the harrowing true story of survival, resilience, and the extraordinary bond between a father and son that refused to break — even on the edge of death.
