The Grand Rescue – A True Story of the 1967 Teton Rangers
Join BFS at 7:30 pm at The Ellen Theatre on Tuesday, July 26th for the Montana Premiere of “The Grand Rescue,” a gripping true story about a rescue that became legend.
In 1967, on the North Face of the Grand Teton, 7 rescuers risked their lives to save a severely injured climber and his companion. The rescue took 3 harrowing days, pushed the team to the edge of their abilities, and cemented a lifelong bond. Remarkably, once safe, the injured climber publicly criticized the very men who risked their lives to save his. Looking back after nearly 50 years, the rescuers and survivors recount the trial with a mixture of honesty and unabashed candor.
Joining us for the film premiere are Rick Reese, and Bob Irvine, two members of the original 1967 rescue team, who will answer questions and draw comparisons with current search and rescue techniques after the screening. A portion of the evening’s proceeds benefit Gallatin County Search and Rescue.
