Breckenridge-based journalist, Devon O’Neil, will discuss his new book The Way Out: A True Story of Survival in the Heart of the Rockies. The Way Out tells a harrowing true story of survival, tragedy, and resilience in the Colorado backcountry. Readers are transported into the heart of a community scarred by loss and the complex questions that follow in the wake of disaster. The Way Out is a testament to our enduring fascination with the outdoors and a sobering reminder of its unforgiving power. Devon O’Neil is an accomplished journalist known for longform narratives at the intersections of adventure, psychology, and resilience. He has worked as staff writer for ESPN.com and a correspondent for Outside magazine. His work has earned recognition in the Best American Travel Writing and Best American Sports Writing anthologies and has twice been a finalist for national awards in civic journalism.

 

Copies of his book will be available for sale after the talk.
