Ridge of Madness I Part One

In 1978, an iconoclastic climber named Johnny Waterman spent 145 days soloing (and traversing) Mount Hunter. It was one of the boldest and strangest mountaineering feats of all time. But what could have been a launch pad into acclaim and prominence, turned into a descent of infamy and madness. Meanwhile, a group of 3 young gun alpinists prepared to attempt the same route in alpine style. Thanks to Jon Waterman and Glenn Randall for their help in creating this story. For more on the story of Johnny Waterman, check out Jon's book, In The Shadow of Denali . ************** Recorded and produced by Evan Phillips Music curated using Artlist .
