On this episode of The Fine Line, a young climber takes listeners through a remarkable journey that led him into one of the most terrifying sections of the Grand Teton.
The conversation includes deep insight from Jenny Lake Rangers Mik Shain and Zack Little, who were involved in the dramatic rescue effort. Together, they paint a fascinating picture of the Otterbody Chimney, discuss the many problems they had to solve during the rescue, and explain why it is so important to check in with rangers before attempting a climb—especially if you are new to the Tetons.
