Episode 31: Hope on a Ledge

Elite climbers Fay and Michelle set out to attempt a daring first ascent of Chaukhamba, a 22,949-foot peak in the Indian Himalayas. With over two decades of experience and world-class climbs under their belts, they were fully prepared for the challenge—or so they thought. After six grueling days of climbing, disaster struck when a rockfall swept away their critical haul bag containing essential gear, leaving them stranded on the mountain without shelter, food, or a way back through a deadly maze of crevasses. This is a true story of survival, grit, and the unbreakable will to live.
