Trapped on a Granite Tooth: How She Survived 21 Frozen Hours

Cold, wind and 11,200 feet of exposure turned a routine paragliding flight into a life-or-death endurance test; Sarah York survived 21 hours on a granite plateau with a fractured rib, a hyperextended knee, a half-full water bottle and no sleeping bag - how did she turn a paraglider into shelter and stay alive until morning?

In this episode, we follow the timeline of Sarah York’s late-February flight from Copper Saddle and the decisions she made after landing on Dagger Shelf; we cover her injuries, the gear she had, and the improvised shelter she built - could a collapsed wing, paracord and an emergency bivy really be enough to survive a night at nearly 11,200 feet?

Person: Sarah York
Location: Dagger Shelf
Date: late February (Saturday morning start at 9:52)
Altitude: 11,200 feet
Injuries: fractured rib, hyperextended left knee, cut on chin

- Sarah launched from Copper Saddle at 9:52 a.m. and pushed her paraglider south into 11 mph winds.
- Twenty-two minutes after launch a rotor hit her wing and she landed on Dagger Shelf, not falling off the plateau.
- Dagger Shelf sits 400 feet above a permanent snowfield and measured air temperature was 9 degrees Fahrenheit with strong wind chill.
- Her kit included three-quarters of a liter of water, two energy bars, a headlamp, a lighter, an emergency bivy sack, a small first-aid kit, and a phone at 63% battery.
- She spent two hours rigging the collapsed wing with paracord to form a wind barrier, then sheltered in the bivy and rationed food while awaiting rescue until 7:22 the next morning.
