The Grand Rescue

The Grand Rescue is a story of a rescue that became legend and captured the attention of the Nation. In 1967, on the North Face of the Grand Teton, park service rescuers risked their lives to save a climber and his companion. The climbers became stranded high on a ledge after rock fall caused a serious injury. The rescue took three harrowing days and pushed the team to new abilities. Remarkably, the injured climber was critical of those who risked their lives to save his. The Grand Rescue recounts an unprecedented rescue in American mountaineering.
