520 One mountaineer's harrowing story of survival and recovery
after being trapped on the second-highest peak in North
America, Mount Logan in the Yukon Territory, during an
extratropical cyclone. In May of 2005, North Shore Rescue
put together a 40th Anniversary Expedition to Mount Logan.
The team was made up of seven men and one woman - all
experienced mountaineers and search & rescue personnel.
The trip up the mountain was relatively standard, marked
by good weather. But on May 25, 2005, their good fortune
took a tragic turn. Three members of the team became
trapped in an extratropical cyclone on Prospector's Col -
an exposed ridge on the mountain. With nothing more than a
tent for shelter, they prepared to wait out the storm in
winds gusting up to 140 km/h. After 20 hours huddled in
their tent in the high winds, the unthinkable happened
when their shelter began to disintegrate. With little
choice, the three men started to prepare for what they
were trained for: survival. Don Jardine and Alex
Snigurowicz prepared to dig a snow cave to take refuge in,
and Bjarnason set about melting snow so they could
rehydrate themselves. Suddenly their tent was ripped from
its ice screws and blown over the edge of the mountain,
just barely spitting Bjarnason out before it went. Left
with no gear beyond two sleeping bags, a sleeping pad, a
pot lid and an ice axe, they knew they were in grave
trouble. In addition, Bjarnason's overmitts had blown off
the mountain with the rest of their gear, exposing his
hands to the elements. Snigurowicz and Jardine went to dig
the shelter, leaving Bjarnason on his own to weather the
storm as best he could. "We will come back for you if we
can," they told him. Six hours later they did come back
for him, only to find that his hands had frozen to the
small rock he'd been using for shelter. Breaking his grip
from the rock, the three retreated to their small snow
cave to wait out the storm or die. Whichever came first.
The next morning, the storm passed. As the day wore on
they were able to establish contact with their teammates
above and below them, but with 3 feet of new snow and all
of them suffering from hypothermia and severe frostbite,
there was no way they could retreat off the mountain.
Through the efforts of North Shore Rescue, the Alaskan Air
Guard, Denali National Park and the Canadian Park Service,
the three climbers were eventually airlifted off the
mountain by a Lama high-altitude aircraft. For Bjarnason,
however, surviving Logan was only the beginning of the
adventure. He soon learned he would lose all of his
fingers and one of his thumbs, making his future as a
firefighter and mountaineer unimaginable. Amazingly,
Bjarnason fought his way back. He retrained and
requalified for his job as a firefighter, learning to
adapt and use what was left of his hands in new ways. And
a mere 13 months after being rescued off Mount Logan, he
found himself in Russia, standing atop Mount Elbrus,
Europe's highest peak. Not only had he reclaimed his
career, he had been able to return to high-altitude
climbing.
