Cold steel at 22°F, a warped adze, and a woman who walked four thousand vertical feet with no handle - the scene at Cutter Fork reads like a deliberate choice made in impossible conditions. What happened in the forty minutes Christine Hunt cannot remember, and why did she carry that axe head down from a summit nobody had reached?
In this episode, we follow the timeline from the October fifth field note to the October fourteenth trailhead discovery, tracing Christine Hunt's two decades of alpine experience, the Calthorn South Face Project, and the decisions that led to a near-fatal descent. Could a single unasked question about wind amplification have changed everything?
