Fort Collins Man Stars On I Shouldn’t Be Alive!
I was absolutely shocked and excited to see a man that I had met on one of my favorite Television shows!! Jim Davidson is a Northern Colorado guy who is a motivational and inspirtational speaker. He delivered a speech last year at a Fort Collins Convention and Visitors Bureau event I was MC'ing and he is wonderful. Then I turned on one of my favorite shows, I Shouldn't Be Alive on Animal Planet for the much anticipated 2011 season, and there is Jim Davidson! I was so excited but a little frightened because if he is on the show, it means he went through a harrowing experience. Well, he had to endure unbelievable hardships, including the loss of his friend and climbing partner. It's not soft and fluffy material, but it is real, and it is amazing. Here is the synopsis from the show website.
Killer Crevasse
Premiering Wednesday, January 19, 10PM e/p
Mountaineer Jim Davidson and best friend Mike Price embark on a mountaineering expedition to conquer the snow-shrouded summit of Mount Rainier in Washington State. On the ascent disaster strikes when, and without warning, Jim plunges into an 80-foot crevasse, pulling Mike down with him. Having survived the fall and an avalanche of snow, Jim discovers that partner Mike has not been so lucky. To save his own life, Jim has to figure out a way to scale the sheer frozen walls, injured, without the right gear or a climbing partner. Can Jim overcome his grief and find the courage and skill to attempt the toughest climb of his life?
Check your local listings for when this episode will be on again. It is beautifully produced television even without a Northern Coloradoan as a star.
