Jim's first experience with LOWA Mountaineering Boots
turned out to be a brutal fight for survival, under the
most extreme conditions.
While tackling the Liberty Ridge on Mount Rainier, he descended the Emmons Glacier Route and a hidden snowbridge collapsed beneath his feet. Falling 80 feet into the crevasse, he was seriously injured and hypothermic. Jim somehow managed to climb the icy crevasse walls. A day later, when rangers delivered him to the ER, he was shocked to discover no frostbite. He credits his LOWA Boots for saving his toes. Jim's harrowing story was recently included in an episode of "I Shouldn't Be Alive" on Animal Planet. |
