Ian Manson suffered injuries during a mountaineering incident on Mt. Rogers in Glacier National Park. He alleged negligence and breach of contract by his guide, Jeffrey Mitchell, and the guiding company, Revelstoke Alpine. Manson claimed that Mitchell's actions caused a rock to fall, leading to his fall. Both Manson and Mitchell were injured and evacuated. The defendants argued that a waiver Manson had signed applied to the incident, but Manson argued otherwise. The court determined that the waiver did not apply to the expedition, rejecting it as a defense. No liability findings were made.
