This past April Ian Rogers got caught in an avalanche on Granite Mountain. While under 6 feet of snow, he made one last call on his cell phone to 911. Thanks to his determination to live, fearless rescue teams and this cell phone, he returns to the spot for the first time and reunites with those who rescued him.

fearless rescue teams? Nah.... I'm sure those rescue crews always have some fear when operating in dangerous conditions... it's their determination to ACT inspite of that fear that makes their actions truly heroic.
