Episode description

🏔️ Mount Everest may be the tallest point on Earth, but is it also the deadliest? 11,996 people have climbed Mount Everest since 1953, with just 6,664 of those people successfully reaching the summit.

Today, we're talking about the deadly 1996 Everest Disaster.


And for the last time, tightly secure your crampons before exiting your tent ⛺ (it's not what you think)
