August 8th 1975, exactly 50 years ago today, Hank Williams Jr. fell 530 feet off of Ajax Peak in Montana. He was climbing with his friend Dick Willey and Dick's 11 year old son Walt. We are honored to welcome Walt Willey to #PickinItOut. For the first time, hear the full story of that day from Walt himself who kept Hank alive by talking to him for over 4 hours while his dad went to get help. We all owe Walt a debt of gratitude for saving Hank's life during those crucial hours. You will also learn how that day would prepare Walt to face his own mountain in recent years. Do not miss this'n y'all!
