He lost a few toes and fingers, but he got down alive.Read the book a couple of weeks ago.a very very lucky man & yes a great read.
If you get a chance, read his story of it, Dead Lucky. Even if you're not a big reader, it is a RIPPER of a story. I started it yesterday at 11am and didn't put it down until I finished at 3pm. it is interesting to see how someone reacts to extremes of nature and it is just a damn good story.
