Fear that something small can erase you - an oxygen regulator was found in a ditch eleven miles from the nearest trailhead, its gauge frozen at zero, and no missing-person report matched it. What happened on the southwest face of Morrow's Throne that left a full cylinder gone and three climbers stranded at 13,400 feet?
In this episode, we follow the timeline from the June 2019 discovery back to the climb itself, laying out the gear, the decisions, and the single mistake that sent a cylinder over a ledge; can the pieces of a ruined summit day explain how one regulator ended up behind a church?
Date: June 2019
Location: Morrow's Throne, Sutter Range, Montana
Person: Wade Stein; Melvin Clark; Sharon Eck; Tom Burris
Elevation: 13,400 feet summit; push camp at 12,200 feet
Event: Oxygen regulator found in drainage ditch with gauge at zero
- A truck driver found the regulator on the third Tuesday of June 2019 in a drainage ditch behind Harmon Falls Evangelical Church, eleven miles from the nearest trailhead.
- Morrow's Throne summit elevation is 13,400 feet and its southwest face is sustained mixed ice-and-rock climbing with no direct descent line.
- The team hauled two oxygen cylinders to a push camp at 12,200 feet on June 7; a photo on June 8 showed the left cylinder at 2,000 PSI and the right between 800-1,200 PSI.
- Three climbers left the push camp at 4:40 a.m. on June 9 and reached the base of the summit wall around 11:00 a.m.; one climber (Tom Burris) stayed at camp due to illness.
- Melvin’s oxygen system bag dropped about 60 feet after a carabiner gate’s locking collar struck stone and opened, producing a single flat knock as it fell off the southwest face.
