Send for Geiger! Alpine rescuer saves climbers on Alps
Hermann Geiger, 62, pioneered glacier air landings and has rescued 3,182 climbers while recovering 622 bodies. He flew 35,000 landings, logged 20,000 flight hours, and earned the St Gregory Knight of Honor. He now leads a five-pilot glacier rescue company operating commercially yet still tied to Switzerland's救 rescue service.
