So. The Death Zone. 8,000 metres above sea level on Everest, where your body just... starts giving up on you. Brain swelling, lungs filling with fluid, full-on hallucinations - and people are up there VOLUNTARILY. Still haven't worked out why...

In this podcast I'm diving into exactly what happens to your body in Mount Everest's Death Zone - above 8,000m, why even the most experienced climbers in the world can't stay up there for long, and why - despite all of this - people keep going back.

It is absolutely unhinged. Let's get into it. 🛋️
