To understand the story of Beck Weathers, you must go back to the fateful events of May 1996 during the ill-fated expedition on Mt Everest, forever etched in infamy. In the spring of 1996, Mt Everest braced itself for an influx of climbers from across the globe, each harboring a fervent desire to conquer its formidable peak. Beck Weathers was poised at the base of Mount Everest, unyielding in his readiness. Faced vision challenges at higher altitudes, his guide refused to permit him to summit, promising to accompany him on the descent. Unfortunately, the guide never returned and Weathers was stuck, blind on Mt Everest in mega storm on the highest peak on Earth.
