Pulling in the first miles of a thru-hike reduces the nerves, but it's also when reality sets in.
Each crew member has to face their past to navigate the present successfully.
Between a remote-scramble and grizzly-infested bushwhack, the crew finds themselves on the spine of a mountain, being pelted by ice, and dodging one of nature's most violent forces - LIGHTNING.
