The DARK Obsession That Drove Timothy Treadwell

Amanda Eller went out for what should have been a short trail run in Maui’s Makawao Forest Reserve. By that evening, her car was still sitting in the parking lot.

Four young climbers - two German, two Austrian - decided they were going to be the ones to crack the Eiger’s north face. They were talented. They were experienced. And one decision in particular would make this one of the most witnessed - and most heartbreaking - disasters in mountaineering history.This is the story of the 1936 Eiger disaster.Send us Fan MailThe Secret Is OUTThe Secret Is Out tells the coming-out stories of LGBTQ people —...Listen on: Apple Podcasts   SpotifySupport the showSupport the channel:Patreon: Get behind-the-scenes fun on life here in the Yukon with the dogs, chats about what's coming up, stories I'm looking into, early ad-free access to all videos and more!YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUyadJkID-aiiY3bdzZ5AegMerch: https://adventuresgonewrong.com/Sign up for the newsletter, a weekly roundup of the wildest stories from the world of adventure, exploration and expeditions gone wrong:https://adventuredispatch.beehiiv.com/
