Nick talks with Lou Kasischke, a member of the 1996 New Zealand expedition to climb Mount Everest. It would go down as the single greatest tragedy to occur on the mountain, and as we come upon the 25th anniversary of the climb, Lou reflects on what saved his life and what he learned from his traumatic experience 28,000 feet in the air.
Read his book After the Wind, or watch the movie Everest to learn the full truth on what went wrong and what went right for so many people.
