Today's episode is dedicated to David Brashears, who was a well-known mountaineer, and documentary maker. He was the one who directed the IMAX Everest film. I also give updates on body recovery on Everest, AllTrails Everest reviews, and an update on the Nimsdai/ Nirmal Purja scandals.

Today's episode is part two of the recap of this climbing season. Trigger warnings at the 25 minute mark. Included in this episode are most of the records for this season, some cool moments, safety issues, and the Mt. Everest weather. Sometimes, you also have to talk about the unpleasant stuff too, and I talk about the New York Times article that made allegations against Nirmal Purja, ropegate and some of his other decisions made this climbing season at Everest. Next week's episode will be about David Brashears and his contribution to the mountaineering community and Mt. Everest.

I start the recap of the Spring 2024 climbing season on Mt. Everest. I mention some of the books and documentaries that have come out/ will come out and where you can find Guy Votter's book in the US: Top Of The World Books. I go over some of the numbers including permit number, the total deaths on Everest since 1922, and last year compared to this year. There was a quick review of the policies/ rules that came out this year that probably didn't really change the climbing experience and why the season started late. Next week will be part 2, including #ropegate. Never a dull moment during Everest climbing season adn there will always be a little drama and some surprises.

Today's episode is a brief update about the 2024 Spring Everest season, where I have been, and what to expect from the next episodes. I have been absent for two months. The Sring 2024 season had some drama and rumors, 8 deaths which was lower than last year, and some records.

It's the beginning of the Everest climbing season. I have several updates in this episode: changes on the Nepali side of Everest, the ice doctors have left for Everest, Caroline Gleich is running for the US senate, Lou Whittaker and David Brashears have died, 3 books about Everest including " Everest Mountain Guide", " Everest Inc" and "Fallen", amongst other Everest news and updates.
