Trapped on Mount Hood for 6 Days with Mary Grimm and Bruce Owen

Write into the show!

In this gripping episode of No Longer Nomads, we talk to Mary Grimm and her dad, Bruce Owen, to hear Mary’s incredible survival story on Mount Hood. What started as a long-awaited adventure quickly turned into six days of isolation, whiteouts, and life-threatening conditions.

From her childhood love of the outdoors and thru-hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, to the moment she ignored warnings and set off alone, Mary takes us inside her mindset and the unfolding dangers of her climb. Bruce shares the perspective of a father watching his daughter pursue risk and faith on the edge of survival.

This is (Part 1) of a two-part conversation. The journey has only just begun—next week you’ll hear about the dramatic rescue and how Mary finally made it home.

Don’t miss this inspiring, emotional, and humbling story of faith, adventure, and resilience.
