A Thompson Peak Adventurer

Thompson Peak
Thompson Peak, 1952

On Saturday morning, August 12, 1978, 23-year-old Marc Doener of Monterey had a very memorable experience at Thompson Peak, that rises above Janesville. Doener attempted to hang glide off the top of peak. It did not go as intended. He lost control as he started to jump, the glider flipped plunging him into a 3,000 foot descent. Amazing when the Search and Rescue team found him he only sustained minor injuries, including a sprained ankle, cuts and scratches.
