概要
The Ice Screw on a Power Pole: Rescue Through the Dark

Cold proof of a mountain night: an electrician finds a Black Diamond ice screw lodged in a concrete power pole 11 miles from the nearest trailhead, while the closest glacier sits 22 miles away. Who left technical ice gear on a forest road - and how did that single object point investigators toward a desperate nine-hour nocturnal rescue?

In this episode, we follow the official reconstruction built from investigative records, summit logs, and four formal interviews with Roger Campbell. The episode covers the climb on Corvin Spire, the equipment inventory discrepancies, and the sequence of events that left one climber suspended and another with a fractured fibula - how did a routine lead turn into a night of carrying two injured people through darkness?

Person: Marvin Coleman
Date: July 22 (call to Mineral County dispatch at 09:14)
Location: eleven miles from nearest trailhead on a dirt service road
Mountain: Corvin Spire, southwest face
Injuries: Sandra Hirsch fractured fibula after a 40-foot fall
