Hank Williams Jr. Was guided up the mountain by a local named Dick Willey and his 11 year old son Walt Willey. Hank did not fall off a cliff, but rather slid and tumbled down a steep ice covered slope, face first, until a nice boulder stopped the slide. (Note to rich celeberties who want to climb mountains - learn to use that ice axe!). Dick ran for help, while Walt stayed behind to do what he could. The kid wrapped Hank's split head in a jacket to stop the bleeding, kept him warm, and kept him conscious for 5 hours until the chopper came.
