Famed mountain climber and guide Rob Hall once said that if you’re stuck near the summit of Mount Everest you might as well be on the moon. Little did he know that his words would one day come true. This is PART 1 of a two part series on the 1996 Everest disaster that claimed eight lives on May 10 and 11 of that year. We'll look into some of the key decisions that may have had an impact on the outcome of the storm.
