Tragedy on Mount Hood: The Untold Story of the 1986 Oregon Episcopal School Expedition | E73

In May 1986, a routine adventure program turned into a harrowing tale of survival and tragedy. Join us on a gripping journey as we delve into the chilling events that unfolded during a fateful excursion on Oregon's iconic Mount Hood. This podcast uncovers the untold story of the disaster that became the second deadliest alpine accident in North American history.

Twenty individuals, including seven students and two staff members from Oregon Episcopal School, embarked on the Basecamp program—an Outward Bound-inspired adventure required for all tenth graders. Led by Thomas Goman, the school's chaplain, the group set off from Timberline Lodge with the ominous forecast of an impending multi-day storm. Goman, however, believed they could complete their climb before the worst of the weather arrived.

As the expedition unfolded, challenges emerged. Some members turned back due to illness, while others pressed on into the heart of the storm. Poor visibility and disorienting conditions caused the group to veer off course, leading them into a perilous situation. With evening approaching, survival became their only option.

Join us as we explore the decisions, the heroism, and the devastating consequences of the 1986 Oregon Episcopal School expedition on Mount Hood. This gripping story sheds light on a tragic chapter in mountaineering history that continues to haunt those who were there.

Message from Kaycee: Sorry, my audio is terrible. Working on it I promise!
