Everest's $20 Million Problem is Getting Worse!


Listen Later

Everest is a lawless place where survival has a price tag - and for the Everest 2026 season, that bill is rigged. From $31,000 helicopter rescues for a headache to forged signatures (and NOT baking soda poisoning) in the death zone, the $20 million insurance scandal is just the tip of the iceberg. ⛰️🫣

In this episode of Lawless Everest, I’m diving into the unhinged reality of high-altitude fraud. We’re looking at the tragic abandonment of Nils Antezana, the "Photoshop" peaks of fake summiters, oxygen theft and the $20 million insurance conspiracy tearing the mountain apart.

If you thought the mountain was dangerous because of the weather, wait until you hear about the people.
