Huntington Cut
By Bram Corliss · Wilderness Survival & Mountain Rescue
An adrenaline-fueled high-angle mountain rescue novel built on authentic alpine rope tradecraft, subzero survival, and fierce protective devotion.
The Mountain Never Forgives a Mistake.
Station 6 perches at 2,400 feet on the flank of Blackwood Peak in the rugged White Mountains. When an emergency distress beacon chirps from the vertical headwall of Huntington Ravine during a sudden subzero gale, lead technical rope rescue boss Gage Walker drops onto the line.
Suspended across an 800-foot sheer ice pitch, he finds field geologist Dr. Nora Vance clinging to a fracturing granite buttress. Nora wasn't caught by carelessness—she was hunting illegal seismic drilling signatures tied to a cross-border syndicate using uncharted alpine notches to move illicit cargo.
When sniper fire severs their secondary anchor and triggers a slab avalanche, Gage rigs an impossible high-line rappel, locking Nora to his chest as they plummet into the frozen wilderness below. Trapped together in a subzero whiteout with armed mercenaries sweeping the perimeter, their survival depends on flawless alpine tradecraft and raw, unyielding trust.
"Gage double-checked the carabiner gate with bare thumbs that had lost feeling twenty minutes ago. Below them, eight hundred feet of blue waterfall ice dropped into the void. 'Look at me, Nora. Don't look down at the ravine. Look at my chest. I've got you on this line.'"
