Ted Porder, a seasoned mountaineer and knowledgeable about the area, went to hike through Glacier National Park. He suddenly slipped down a glacier, loosing control as a crevasse appeared in front of him. With no control over his descent, he fell right into the crack in the ice, falling 40 feet. Broken, laying there in the glacier, Tod fights to survive.  Join us as we tell the story of Ted’s extraordinary strength to climb out of the crevasse and hiking for help, all with a broken back.
