The Rogue Yosemite Rescue

The Rogue Yosemite Rescue

Peder Ourom’s account of the 1980 rescue of Scottish base jumper Billy Glasgow. How a Scottish base jumper needed all his strength and skills to survive both a failed base jump in Yosemite, and the rescue and desperate retreat that followed. His name was Billy Glasgow, and he climbed the hardest pitch ever accomplished on El Capitan.  Here is the real story of what happened over the next two days and nights, and what our rogue Canadian rescue team pulled off. I know, because I was part of the team.   Podcast created with the help of Google NotebookLM.
