Against the Avalanche: The Miraculous Survival of Adam Herman and Conor Lodge | E100
In December 2013, Adam Herman, 24, and Conor Lodge, 22, embarked on what was supposed to be a routine descent down New Hampshire's Mount Washington.

The sheer force of nature swept them a daunting 800 feet down the mountainside, leaving them battling against the elements for survival. Despite the harrowing circumstances, both men miraculously emerged from the avalanche, defying the odds against them.

Their tale of survival amidst the wrath of nature serves as a testament to their resilience and the unwavering determination to overcome adversity.
