Welcome to When It Goes Wrong, the podcast about disasters, accidents and when things fall apart. On this episode I discuss the 2006 climbing season on Mount Everest where 10 people would die. I focus in on the case of David Sharp, who many think could have been saved if he had been helped earlier. I then cover the rescue of Lincoln Hall who survived a night in the death zone.
