Summary of Donnie Eichar's Dead Mountain

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

#1 I had taken two trips to Russia, traveled 15,000 miles, and left my infant son and his mother to be here. I was extremely eager to find the location of the tent where nine hikers died in 1959.

#2 The Dyatlov hiking group tragedy is still unexplained after more than 50 years. The group died from an unknown compelling force, and their bodies were found half-dressed in subzero temperatures.

#3 I was drawn to the Dyatlov case because it presented me with a human puzzle. I wanted to solve it and understand the motivations of the hikers. I grew up in the 1970s and 1980s on the central Gulf Coast of Florida, and I had been born to teenage parents. I had taken a trip with my father to the surfers’ playground of Costa Rica in 1987, when I was fifteen.

#4 I was able to make contact with Yuri Kuntsevich, the head of the Dyatlov Foundation in Yekaterinburg, Russia. He explained that the foundation’s mission was both to preserve the memories of the hikers and to uncover the truth of the 1959 tragedy.
