The Fourth Beacon on Mount Hood

In January of 2019, a solo climber named Elise paused to check her transceiver at the 9,400-foot level of Mount Hood's south side route. She found a signal pulsing from beneath a scree field — a frequency that matched no known victim of any recorded avalanche on that mountain. By the time Luna met her, Elise had spent two months digging alone in the snow, following a beacon that never stopped transmitting, even as the batteries of all her own equipment died one by one. This is the story of what she uncovered, and what she refused to leave behind. #AboveTheSnowline #MountHood #TransceiverSignal #Avalanche #Elise #ScreeField #MissingClimber #IceAxe #CollapsedTent #LoneGlove #Snowfield #January2019 #Oregon #PacificCrest #BeaconSearch #Unsettling #AtmosphericHorror #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #HighAltitudeHorror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
