Glissading Gone Wrong: Into the Abyss

On a remote mountain, the sun glints brilliantly off the snow. Two specks are visible on the slope - two men. One stationary, the other moving at speed. The second man is Dan Wenker. He’s sliding down the mountain, over the pristine white powder. But in mere moments he’ll be 60 feet under the ice, staring up at just a slither of daylight. How did he get here, and how on earth will he get out?… A Noiser podcast production. Hosted by John Hopkins.
