A story we all think we know — but do we, really?From the legends of Mallory and Irvine, Messner to the Sherpa heroes and the commercialization of the world’s highest peak, this episode explores what Chomolungma truly represents: humility, ego, spirituality, and the fine line between ambition and arrogance.It’s not about facts alone — it’s about meaning.
