September 23, 2015

CTV Reporter Kay Bennett interviews Alexandra Anderson and Sean Supple after the couple survived a 300-foot fall down an icy couloir in the Sangre de Cristo mountain range two Sundays ago.

Anderson and Supple hiked five 14ers and 16 14ers before the accident, and they warn other hikers to always do their research beforehand.

Anderson is recovering from two broken arms and a bruised lung, and Supple is recovering from minor injuries.
