見知らぬ人の命を救うために命がけで挑む、精鋭レスキューボランティアたちの不屈の精神と覚悟を描いた物語。1982年、マウント・ワシントンで行われたある救助活動は、2人のクライマーの人生だけでなく、彼らを救おうとしたレスキュー隊員たちの人生をも変えることとなる。

109 Below tells a tale of resilience and grit when elite rescue volunteers go out of their way to save the lives of strangers. An attempted rescue on Mount Washington in 1982 changed not only the course of two climbers’ lives, but the lives of the rescuers who attempted to save them — and the future of prosthetics, forever. Hugh Herr and Jeff Batzer had just finished ascending a technical ice-climbing route on Mount Washington when the blizzard rolled in that would change their lives forever. They became disoriented. They got lost. And they had to spend three nights in -20-degree weather. Herr, who, at the time, was one of the best climbers in the world, lost his legs to frostbite. As a postdoctoral fellow at MIT, Herr dedicated his life to designing and perfecting prostheses that emulate the movement of the human leg.
