He blacked out on Ama Dablam. Everest is next!

He woke up in a grave of ice. (Everest’s most unhinged survival story!)

Beck Weathers shouldn't be alive. In 1996, Mount Everest decided he was done - and his team agreed. This is the unhinged true survival story of a man who was left for dead in the Everest death zone not once, but twice. While we look back at the 30-year legacy of the 1996 tragedy, we’re diving into the mystery of how Beck managed to walk back to camp when his body had already turned to ice. From the sofa, we’re breaking down the ethics of abandonment and the miracle that followed.

He Got Trapped at 28,000 Feet! The 1996 Everest Disaster

Exactly 30 years ago, the 1996 Everest Disaster changed high-altitude climbing forever. From Rob Hall's heartbreaking last call to his wife, to the unhinged chaos of the storm - this is what really happened. May 10, 1996. Eight people never made it home in a single 24-hour period on the world's highest mountain. What started as a commercial summit attempt with Adventure Consultants ended in one of the most devastating days in mountaineering history. And 30 years later, we're still asking how it happened. Rob Hall - one of the most respected guides on the mountain - made his final radio call to his pregnant wife from 29,000 feet. Alone. In a storm. With no oxygen left. This is that story. We're also diving into the chaos that unfolded around him - from Beck Weathers being left for dead (twice) to Anatoli Boukreev 's controversial decisions that still divide the climbing community to this day. If you've read Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer, you know how unhinged this gets. If you haven't - you're about to find out. Everest 30 years later, and the mountain still wins.

I'M DONE | The Moment She Almost Quit Everest

Everest survival stories reached a new level of unhinged in 2022. While Everest 2026 brings new rules, the story of Jane and Gabby Kanizay remains a masterclass in survival ethics. I sat down with Jane Kanizay to hear the raw truth about the moment she looked at her daughter, Gabby, and said: "I'M DONE." In this Mount Everest summit interview, we dive into the terrifying reality of going blind in the Death Zone, how easy it is to run out of oxygen, and why Jane’s daughter refused to let her quit just 900 meters from the top. We also discuss the "Teach Us Consent" campaign and what it’s really like for the youngest Australian to achieve an Everest-Lhotse double summit.

Everest's $20 Million Problem is Getting Worse!

Everest is a lawless place where survival has a price tag - and for the Everest 2026 season, that bill is rigged. From $31,000 helicopter rescues for a headache to forged signatures (and NOT baking soda poisoning) in the death zone, the $20 million insurance scandal is just the tip of the iceberg. ⛰️🫣 In this episode of Lawless Everest, I’m diving into the unhinged reality of high-altitude fraud. We’re looking at the tragic abandonment of Nils Antezana, the "Photoshop" peaks of fake summiters, oxygen theft and the $20 million insurance conspiracy tearing the mountain apart. If you thought the mountain was dangerous because of the weather, wait until you hear about the people.

Everest is over. The unhinged 2026 rules!

Everest 2026 is over. Between the "poop rule," mandatory tracking chips, and a total ban on solo climbers, the 2026 season is shaping up to be the most unhinged disaster in mountaineering history. ⛰️🫣 In today’s deep dive, we’re looking at why the 2026 Mount Everest rules are changing everything. With the North side in Tibet closing, every single climber is being funnelled onto the Nepal South side, creating a "Lawless Everest" scenario of overcrowding and chaos. From the $20,000 fines to the ethics of "wag bags" in the death zone, I’m breaking down the 5 new rules that will either save the mountain - or destroy the climbing experience forever.
