In our last instalment of the My Epic podcast series we end with the most important lesson - don’t ignore the warnings.

Climbing is inherently stressful. Add in a swarm of bees and you have what we call an “epic” for the ages.

A blown rappel usually results in death, but luckily we don’t end there in this Epic. Listen as Richard Wright recalls his partners close call as his rappel device falls hundreds of feet below them.

A constant theme throughout these stories so far have always been weather. As we hear from Phil Broscovak, he learned just how dangerous weather can be, how fast storms can move, and how much a lightning strike can hurt.

Death can often get a little too close for comfort. Climber, Don Sarver, experienced just that while on Washington Peak. Hear about how he was able to look death in the eye and live to tell the tale.

Everest is home to countless epics. This one comes from accomplished Himalayan climber and guide, Chris Warner. It is the story of falling objects….Sometimes it’s not only ice… it could be an oxygen tank! Chris is lucky to be alive.
