A nurse named David Cifaldi survived a harrowing mountaineering accident on Montana’s Froze-to-Death Plateau when a trekking pole pierced his back—missed vital organs, but still a life-threatening injury. Calm under pressure, he assessed himself, coordinated with his crew via satellite, and led a self-rescue hike down the mountain, guided by medical knowledge and teamwork. With search teams tracking their progress and hospital alerts sent ahead, David made it to his own hospital—where he was patched up and back at work this week. He credits his experience, his crew, and the ability to call for help when needed over a costly helicopter rescue.
