This week Danielle and Kristine learn how to survive climbing Mount Everest, and our new friend Amanda Deibert joins us to talk about the time she fell off a cliff at the absolute worst time possible.
Kristine dug into the topic without any supplemental oxygen and got a wealth of information from National Geographic (https://www.nationalgeographic.com/adventure/article/climbing-mount-everest-1) ,
