California yoga instructor and hiking enthusiast Jolly Bose had planned with two hiking friends to summit Mt. Givens in the Sierras on an 8-mile trip that should have taken just four hours to complete.

But when the ambitious hiker on Oct. 17 became separated from her companions, the trip turned into an over-48-hour struggle to survive in freezing temperatures—this she did using an unshakable calm to adapt to the cold.
