Summary of The Editors of Outside Magazine's The Darkest Places

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

#1 On July 24, 1997, in Lander, Wyoming, a woman named Amy Wroe Bechtel fell off the face of the earth. She had a busy schedule that morning, teaching an hour-and-a-half kids’ class in weight training at the Wind River Fitness Center, and she was upbeat.

#2 Amy Wroe Bechtel, a teacher and runner, was 11 days short of her 25th birthday when she died. She was 13 months into her marriage, and a radiant young athlete. She had taught a fitness class and was busy organizing a 10K hill climb.

#3 Lander is not the gritty, assault-and-battery West of, say, Rock Springs. It is a small, civilly minded town that is close to forest and mountains. It has no downhill ski area, and its snowfall is sporadic and undependable.

#4 The Lucky Lane bunch seems to waste little time on bad habits or generalized angst. They seem to channel these feelings into climbing, and what’s left over is small-town camaraderie, rock-talk, and the edgeless high jinks of a platoon in the movies.
