The Grand Rescue is the story of a three-day rescue that became legend. In 1967, on the North Face of the Grand Teton, seven climbing rangers risked their lives to save a severely injured climber and his companion. The rescue pushed the team to the edge of their abilities and cemented a lifelong bond. Looking back after 40 years, the rescuers and survivors recount the trial with a mixture of honesty and unabashed candor. A parks adventure story not to be missed!
