Eight climbers. One Mountain. A storm no one could escape. 

In this episode we are talking about the Shatayeva Group. In 1974 Soviet mountaineer Elvira Shatayeva led an ambitious all-women’s expedition to the summit of Lenin Peak. But when a brutal storm swept across the mountain, the team became trapped at extreme altitude with no shelter and no way down.
