Peak Danger: 8. Only The Mountain Knows


Listen Later

In the aftermath of the tragedy that claimed 11 lives, the surviving climbers leave K2 behind. As they do, they’re walking into a worldwide media frenzy.

Everyone wants to know what happened? What went wrong? And most of all - was it worth it?

A heartbroken Cecilie Skog tries to put her life back together and forge a new future.

Her fellow climbers deal with the trauma and fallout of what’s happened. Some of them will never return to the mountains again.

But will Cecilie?

Featuring climbers Cecilie Skog, Lars Nessa, Wilco van Rooijen, Pasang Lama, Fredrik Sträng, Eric Meyer, Chhiring Dorje Sherpa and Kim Jae-Soo. Also featuring June Yoon as the voice of Kim Jae-Soo.

Special thanks to Fredrik Sträng for providing archival footage.
