Finally, we ascend into the eerie world of the ghosts of Mount Everest, where lost climbers are said to wander the frozen peaks—forever. Is it the altitude playing tricks, or are restless spirits still summiting?Prepare for an episode packed with brain-expanding theories, high-velocity root vegetables, and spectral mountaineers.
