Trapped on the icy north face of Les Droites, Mont Blanc Massif in January 1999, Jamie Andrew and his climbing partner Jamie Fisher endured a horrific five nights in stormy sub-zero conditions. The resulting rescue remains one of the most daring and dramatic operations in the history of the Alps, but unfortunately came only hours too late to save Jamie's climbing partner.
