| The REAL Truth: | |
| "The 7 men were hit by an unprecedented storm that prevented anyone from doing any more than was done..." | |
| The "Obvious Choice" of NPS rescue coordinator was not the most "practical choice"... | |
| The Alaska Rescue Group (Now called The Alaska Mountain Rescue Group) was the most experienced resource available.. | |
| The Winter Ascent Rescue was not mounted in "a matter of hours" and was undertaken after their storm had abated... | |
| An Air Force C130 or other high altitude observation plane would not have made a difference. | |
| July 20, 1967, the day that Wilcox radioed for help. | |
| The role of Don Sheldon & Bradford Washburn and the authors assertions about their errors and misjudgements. | |
| Tabor's Conclusion is Wrong | |
| Other Mistakes | |
| An Afterword | |
| Acknowlegements and Thanks | |
