Climb Every Mountain

JACKSON HOLE, Wy. - Beth and Joe Hestick, of Bridgeport, W.Va., have decades of climbing experience, noted the Casper Star Tribune. But when heavy snow, winds and clouds disoriented them on the tallest peak in the Teton Range, they were unable to find a route of descent. Fortunately, the couple spotted a small cave, barely hospitable, but just big enough to shelter them from the elements, ride out the storm for two days, and live to tell about it.

Beth, a landscape architect, and Joe, a coal miner, tried to stay warm and sleep. They kept up their strength with a few burritos and an assortment of snack foods: cheese, cookies, an apple, some gum, and the old standby-M&Ms.
