A proposito di questo titolo

In this episode of The Tom Gulley Show, Tom examines the 1996 Mount Everest climbing disaster—one of the deadliest and most analyzed tragedies in modern mountaineering history. During a catastrophic storm in May 1996, multiple commercial expeditions were caught high on Everest above 26,000 feet, an altitude known as the “death zone,” where the human body rapidly deteriorates without supplemental oxygen. What followed were fatal delays, communication failures, exhausted climbers, and life-or-death decisions made in extreme conditions. Eight climbers lost their lives, while others survived against overwhelming odds. This episode breaks down the known facts of the Everest disaster, including leadership decisions, weather forecasting failures, summit timing, guide responsibility, and the growing commercialization of Everest climbing in the 1990s. Tom cuts through simplified narratives to focus on what the evidence shows, why small mistakes became irreversible, and how the tragedy permanently changed how Everest expeditions are run. A factual, sober look at ambition, risk, and consequence on the world’s highest mountain. thetomgulleyshow.com
