Challenge Philip E Bartow

CHALLENGE Roy Graham, an outdoor survival expert, is hired to take a team of managers on an outdoor challenge instead of the usual management retreat. The President of the Company is concerned that if his management staff does not learn how to work together more effectively that a major company project will fail. The management team is dropped off on the Brady Glacier in Southeastern Alaska and plan to travel across the glacier, climb over a range of mountains and descend a glacier to Lituya Bay to be picked up. The first person to die on the trip is the president of the company in what appears to be a fluke accident. (All deaths in the story are based on the author?s experiences in climbing and mountain rescue activities.)
