Annapurna was the first 8,000-meter peak ever climbed, three years before Everest. It should have been a triumph. Instead, the climbers who made history lost every finger and toe getting back down.

75 years later, Annapurna is still taking lives. But now it's not just elite alpinists on the mountain, it's commercial clients, guided expeditions, and climbers who've never been above 8,000 meters.

This is the story of the world's deadliest mountain, the people who keep climbing it, and what it costs the Sherpas who make those climbs possible.
