Dangerous First Ascent on Devil's Thumb!

Climbing.com is reporting that Zac Hoyt has completed a solo first winter ascent on Devil's Thumb, a 9,077 foot peak near Juneau, Alaska. But as any climber will tell you, getting to the top is only half the journey, and getting down may be the most dangerous part. Hoyt, who is an accomplished climber, fell into a crevasse and had to be rescued by a Coast Guard helicopter.
