"It’s a preposterous plan. Still, if you do get up it, it’ll be the hardest thing that’s been done in the Himalayas." Thus spoke Chris Bonington when Peter Boardman and Joe Tasker presented him with their plan to tackle the unscaled West Wall of Changabang - the Shining Mountain - in 1976.

So Parrado, an ordinary young man with no particular disposition for leadership or heroism, led an expedition up the treacherous slopes of a snowcapped mountain and across forty-five miles of frozen wilderness.

SAGE: I came to the Rockies for a story. Wilderness survival, winter solitude, maybe a photo of the elusive mountain hermit the locals whisper about.

He doesn’t trust easily. And he definitely doesn’t want me here. Too bad I’m stuck in his cabin until the storm clears. KELLEN: I live alone for a reason. No noise. No people. No complications. Then she showed up—frozen, injured, and way too curious for her ...
