Siula Grande: Over the Edge | Making Peace With It, With Simon Yates | 4
About this episode
In 1985, high on Peru’s Siula Grande, everything went wrong, and two climbers made choices that became mountaineering lore. Simon Yates joins host Cassie De Pecol to talk about risk, survival, and being known as “the guy who cut the rope.”
