She was the only one still breathing.

High in the frozen wilderness near Mount Bradley, a small plane slammed into the mountainside in 1976—leaving 28-year-old Lauren Elder alone, injured, and stranded on a sheer cliff of ice and rock. No map. No food. No rescue in sight.

In this episode, you’ll step into Lauren’s boots as she faces an unthinkable fight for survival: clawing her way down a vertical mountainside, battling whiteout conditions, and pushing past the limits of human endurance. You’ll feel the fear, the isolation—and the impossible decisions she had to make to stay alive.

This isn’t just a survival story.

It’s a story about what happens when the world expects you to die… and you choose to live anyway.

Press play—and follow the footsteps of the woman who refused to disappear into the mountain.
