Ep 80 - Cruise Ship at 8000m - Everest with Mountain Dew Me

Thu, 25 Nov 2021 15:00:00 GMT

How many times have you heard someone compare their plate of nachos to Mount Everest? Or say they were so fit, they could climb it in two hours? Well, this week Brittany and Carla learn all about the INSANITY of Everest. The psychology of why people do it and then of why they sometimes don't make it back. The history of George Mallory and Sandy Irvine, and the politics of finding their 100 year old camera. And Mountain Dew...it will not get you up a mountain but it's pretty tasty!

We also talk the mudslide and flood of 2021, ego and cutting off your own toes.

We also did a companion episode to this on our Patreon, discussing the 2014 avalanche. So join us here: https://www.patreon.com/lifepairings
