The Wrong Col: How Good Decisions Killed Douglas West

A solitary crampon, dusted with granite, turned up eighty-three miles from the nearest trailhead on a suburban gas meter-evidence of a nine-day search for a missing climber. How did a sequence of careful, reasonable choices spiral into a fatal trap on a north face in 47 mph winds?
In this episode, we follow the timeline from a pre-dawn navigation decision through the lost cache, the missing rope noted in a radio log, and the final solo descent; what went wrong, and how did one wrong col become the hinge of the disaster?
Person: Douglas West
Date: September 8-14, 2009
Location: Hadden's Tooth, Cavender Range; Alderton Avenue, Renner, Colorado
Status: Missing climber; found evidence (crampon) in town during search
Team: Lori Thompson, Phil Hartley, Nora Casteel, Douglas West
- The crampon was found propped against a gas meter on Alderton Avenue on September 14, 2009, with reddish-gray granite dust on its teeth.
- The crampon was eighty-three miles from the nearest trailhead when discovered by meter reader Chad Wagner.
- Douglas West was 33 years old in summer 2009 and worked as a structural engineer in Fort Hazel, Colorado.
- The team intended to cache two fuel canisters, food reserves, and a medical kit at the Lower Tooth Col, but the cache was placed 400 meters from its intended location at West Notch.
- Douglas West made a solo descent down a north face in 47-mile-per-hour winds carrying a full rack and one ice screw set but no rope; his radio log recorded the missing rope.
