The Mount Hood tragedy remains the second deadliest mountaineering accident in North American history. Growing up in Oregon, Ric Conrad remembers following the developments on the six o’clock news when he was just a few years older than some of the teenage climbers. But it wasn’t until he had his own experience tackling Mount Hood that he decided to investigate more. Ric is the author of Code 1244: The 1986 Mount Hood Tragedy. He joins host Cassie de Pecol to discuss what went wrong on the mountain, the rescue efforts, and his time with the survivors and the families of those who were lost.
