This made me yell out at the monitor – the claustrophobia made me want to scream. Absolutely terrifying to watch, just so glad there was a good outcome. Incredible video.

One of the scariest things I’ve ever seen. . .I can imagine at around minute 3-4 under, you must be thinking no one is coming.

Having lots of friends who are backcountry fanatics, that was INCREDIBLY difficult to watch. My anxiety level was through the roof, even knowing the positive outcome. I hope this serves to emphasize the need for buddy systems, tracking devices, and a plan to deal with emergencies. The rescue team did a great job, but I tell ya, I was hollering at my monitor telling them to get their d*#$ shovels assembled and DIG FASTER!
