Welcome to The Other Marthas: the show where a drama student and a film graduate try to make sense of things we wish we were qualified in instead. In this episode, we continue with our Everest Blockbuster series, this time investigating the 2006 climbing season. Tune in for the incredible feats of physically disabled mountaineers climbing with Russel Bryce, including Mark Inglis' controversial experience and encounters with David Sharp; as well as legendary sherpa Phurba Tashi's heroic attempts to save a fellow mountaineer.
Please note, this episode centres around the extreme dangers of climbing Everest, including altitude-related illnesses, hypothermia, frostbite, and deadly falls. There is description throughout of extreme mental and physical hardship, high risk, and death (sometimes involving controversial culpability) - not for the easily disturbed!
