About this episode
[REBROADCAST FROM May 11, 2026] 30 years ago, a deadly blizzard on Mount Everest claimed the lives of eight climbers. Among the surviving members of the expedition was journalist Jon Krakauer, who was covering it for Outside Magazine. His book about the experience, Into Thin Air, became a hit. But 30 years later, what has changed about the experience of climbing the highest peak in the world? Jon Krakauer discusses the new 30th anniversary edition of Into Thin Air.
