Listen "When The Strong Fall: The 1996 Everest Disaster - CONCLUSION"
Episode Synopsis
They say that gong to the summit is only halfway. And nowhere was that more true than on May 10, 1996 on Mount Everest. On that day Everest became the stage for one of the most harrowing disasters in mountaineering history. Eight climbers perished in a brutal storm, and as the world tried to make sense of the tragedy, a chilling truth emerged: success on Everest isn't just about reaching the summit—it's about surviving the descent. In Part 2 of our deep dive into the '96 Everest disaster, we uncover the unsettling facts that point to two ambitious guides, Rob Hall and Scott Fischer, whose decisions played a pivotal role in the events that unfolded. The stakes were high, the clock was ticking, and the mountain demanded its toll.IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN PART 1 YET, HERE IS THE LINK:https://youtu.be/_tEe2p9eKgUIndividuals who lost their lives during storm of 1996-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------South/Nepal:Yasuko Namba (client) - JapanRob Hall (owner Adventure Consultants) - New ZealandScott Fischer (owner Mountain madness) - USAAndy Harris (guide) - New ZealandDoug Hansen (client) - USANorth/TibetDorje Morup (Indo-Tibetan Border Police) - IndiaTsewang Paljor (Indo-Tibetan Border Police) - IndiaTsewang Samanla (Indo-Tibetan Border Police) - IndiaKey figures we'll be talking about include:Rob HallScott FischerJon KrakauerAnatoli BoukreevSandy PittmanNeal BeidlemanDavid BreashearsEd ViestursVideos discussed in this video:Anatoli Boukreev's Controversial Actions in the '96 Everest Disasterhttps://youtu.be/NBkgpAGzG4AThe REAL Story of Sandy Pittman's 1996 Everest Tragedy & Fallouthttps://youtu.be/HUDODhCqgbYDecoding Scott Fischer's Role in the 1996 Everest Tragedy https://youtu.be/B2vQX_ItkWEEverest '96 Disaster | Boukreev v.
