Between a Rock and a Hard Place meets Into the Void in this harrowing account of a terrible mountaineering accident, one man's amazing escape from a hellish fall—a second-by-second retelling of tragedy, survival, and renewal. On June 21, 1992, two best friends summited Mount Rainier, and on their descent, tragedy struck. Tied together, the two men fell eighty feet into a crevasse, with Mike Price dying instantly. After mustering the confidence and courage to tackle the nearly impossible vertical ice wall, Jim Davidson, injured and mourning his friend's death, miraculously climbed out with sparse equipment. Told in parallel narratives of the tragedy and the climbers' lives, The Ledge is an inspirational adventure tale.
