  • Seven Full Cylinders on Peloran North: Why Quinn Risked Everything

    Seven Full Cylinders on Peloran North: Why Quinn Risked Everything
    2026/08/06
    Seven Full Cylinders on Peloran North: Why Quinn Risked Everything

    Cold, isolated, and impossible to explain: seven green oxygen cylinders, labeled PELORAN NORTH COL, 14,200 FT, found full in a parking lot at -22°F, tie a 2003 expedition to a 1947 disappearance. What drew Laura Quinn back to that col, and what did she risk to retrieve it?

    In this episode, we follow the January 2003 Peloran North expedition led by Laura Quinn, the team's movements from base camp to the col, and the fragments of a fifty-six-year-old mystery that resurfaced in a radio transmission and handwritten archive notes. How did a brief line in a 1947 letter set a modern guide on a collision course with a buried past?

    Person: Laura Quinn
    Date: January 3-9, 2003
    Location: Peloran North col at 14,200 ft
    Event: Discovery of seven oxygen cylinders and linked disappearance
    Historical Person: Arthur Pemworth (attempted Peloran North in 1947)

    - At 06:15 on January 9, 2003, Kathleen Hill found seven green cylinders arranged in the snow beside a parked truck.
    - The temperature when the cylinders were found was -22 degrees Fahrenheit.
    - The cylinders were labeled "PELORAN NORTH COL, 14,200 FT" and were assessed by a deputy twenty minutes later as all full.
    - Laura Quinn organized the January 2003 expedition at age 41 and had summited Peloran North twice before.
    - Arthur Pemworth attempted Peloran North in 1947 carrying seven supplemental oxygen cylinders with a valve standard discontinued by 1951.

  • Summit at 14:40 - The Note, The Compass, and the Vanishing Hour

    Summit at 14:40 - The Note, The Compass, and the Vanishing Hour
    2026/08/05
    Summit at 14:40 - The Note, The Compass, and the Vanishing Hour

    Cold air poured from unit forty-seven onto a seventeen-degree morning, and pinned to a frozen topo map was a blood-streaked note claiming: "Summit reached fourteen forty. Marvin made it. I left him the compass." Who wrote that note on a cliff face in the dark while she could no longer tell the day, and why was Marvin pulled from Mount Iver a day later than the date on the paper?

    In this episode, we follow the timeline from the December tenth departure to the moment the summit was reached at 14:40 and the storm that arrived fourteen minutes later, tracing the actions of a four-person team and the single note that altered the course of the search. How did a compass and a hurried line on a map become the only clues left by a woman who vanished into the storm?

    Person: Wade Carter
    Date: December 14, 2014
    Location: Mount Iver, Idaho / unit forty-seven
    Person: Marvin Bailey
    Person: Denise Nelson

    - Wade Carter worked eleven years reading utility meters in Creston County and discovered the note while holding his clipboard outside.
    - The handwritten note was dated December 14, 2014 and read "Summit reached fourteen forty. Marvin made it. I left him the compass."
    - The search-and-rescue team pulled Marvin Bailey off the south flank of Mount Iver on December 15, 2014.
    - The summit was reached at 2:40 p.m. on December 13, and a storm arrived approximately fourteen minutes later with 50-60 mph winds and visibility near zero.
    - At roughly 13,000 feet Pete Albano and Sandra Crews turned back; Denise Nelson and Marvin Bailey continued and later separated when Nelson fell through a snow bridge.

  • The Laminated Card: Why James Davis Walked Into the Silence

    The Laminated Card: Why James Davis Walked Into the Silence
    2026/08/04
    The Laminated Card: Why James Davis Walked Into the Silence

    Cold, methodical, and impossible: an ice axe with an orange handle appears in a town parking lot forty-one miles from the nearest peak while four climbers lie dead and one teacher is missing - his laminated card sat on his desk the whole time. What choice did a meticulous man make in seconds on a couloir when a serac fractured between him and four teammates?

    In this episode, you’ll hear the timeline from camp to collapse, the gear found and missing, and the single written note that reframes the final decision on Arrowglass - did he cut the rope to save others, or was there another reason behind that act?

    Person: James Davis
    Date: November 1, 2019
    Location: Arrowglass upper couloir, ~12,400 ft
    Event: Serac fracture and rope cuts
    Status: Laminated card found on Davis’s desk

    - Davis taught history at Ridder Falls High for 22 years and laminated route notes and safety cards.
    - The team reached Arrowglass trailhead on October 28 and were in high camp at ~10,600 ft by October 30.
    - Davis radioed last transmission at 6:00 AM on November 1 reporting favorable conditions and intent to push for the summit.
    - At ~10:00 AM on November 1 a serac fractured ~300 ft below the summit plateau, isolating Davis above the fracture and four teammates below.
    - SAR recovered 60 meters of rope cut into sections with straight perpendicular blade-like cuts; the termini attached to Davis’s end were missing.
