The Truth Behind One of the Most Tragic, Mysterious, and Controversial Disasters in Mountaineer.
In July 1967, seven young men died on Mt McKinley, North America's highest peak. Ten days passed with no rescue attempt, while more than half an expedition was stranded and dying at 20,000 feet during a vicious Arctic storm. The bodies were never recovered. There was no official investigation of the catastrophe. 'Forever On The Mountain' begins as a classic tale of men against nature, gambling with their lives - and losing - on one of the world's starkest and stormiest peaks. By lives lost it was history's third-worst mountaineering disaster when it occurred - but elements of finger pointing, imcompetence and cover-up make this tragedy unlike any other.
