A 27-year-old Oregon climber who survived five days on Washington’s Mount Adams with a broken ankle told rescuers he ate centipedes and drank water from creeks as he tried to crawl to safety.
A dog from a search-and- rescue team found Derek Mamoyac of Philomath, Ore., Friday afternoon. He was taken by helicopter to a hospital in Portland, where he was listed in fair condition.
After breaking his ankle, he spent nearly four days crawling and dragging his feet through the snow, trying to drag himself off the mountain. When his knees hurt too much to crawl, he said, he would turn around and scoot backward.
