MIT geologist Kin Hodges explains how monsoon erosion and deep crustal processes reshape mountains, while the Imax expedition wires climbers to monitor health and gather live data from base camp.

Everast Anonymous Climbers Leave Everest Obsession Behind
The article notes Ed Viesturs ending his Everest pursuits after five summits and forming Everast Anonymous to deter others from dangerous expeditions. It recalls Jon Krakauer’s Into Thin Air and the 1996 tragedies where 15 climbers died, mentioning Scott Fisher and Rob Hall, plus historical context of Everest’s discovery and crowed routes. It also covers Mallory Irvine, Hillary, and the fate of many climbers, ending with Goran Kropp’s solo ascent and return.
