What do you do when someone lies about climbing Everest? You call Billi Bierling, director of the Himalayan Database and the unofficial referee of Himalayan mountaineering. She’s spent years verifying summits, busting myths, and holding climbers accountable, all from a tiny flat in Kathmandu. On this episode we talk frauds, fame, useless records, and why Everest still matters. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
