About this episode
The week started well, but when the winds picked up, as forecasted, teams took risky chances that turned deadly. Now, with a better forecast, hundreds of climbers are positioned to summit over the next few days. Tibet-side teams are in place and looking at summit plans.
This podcast has the weekend update plus a short narrative on the route between the Balcony and Everest's South Summit. #everest2024
