In this episode, Ashley talks to both climbers about what went wrong that day and how Alina is recovering from the accident.

Vintage aviation book narration

People flew into the unknown
Before GPS, accurate maps, or weather forecasting
I narrate so we remember the OG's
And the obscure names
Explorers who were lost on adventures and lived to tell us about it
Shouldn't be lost to dusty shelves
