Welcome back for Season Thirteen of the Hashtag History podcast! As tradition dictates, the first episode of every season is a Leah Takeover Episode!

This week on Hashtag History, we will be discussing a specific Mount Everest expedition that took place in 1996 where, due to a blizzard during their descent of the mountain, eight climbers died. This tragedy has lead to multiple books, memoirs, and even movies about the experience.
