Dropped: the Death of Peter Absolon

In the January 2008 issue of Outside, writer Alan Prendergast investigates the death of Peter Absolon, the Rocky Mountain Director of NOLS. High in the Wind River Range of Wyoming, in a flash of catastrophic bad luck, Absolon lost everything—without making one wrong move. In this mountain tragedy, nature was not to blame, and all was not as it seemed. Here, learn how you can contribute to the Peter Absolon Memorial Fund and share your thoughts on the tragedy in our blog comments section.
