While tackling the climb that killed their father – Everest’s infamous Fantasy Ridge – an estranged sister and brother must face their issues or suffer the same fate.

The Fantasy Ridge can be found in this map of routes of Everest, it shows it pretty clearly. ?The later maps stopped naming it because it hasn’t even been partially climbed at this point. It is the only unclimbed ?ridge left on the East Face (Kangshung) and it would be Route 19 if ever climbed. There have in fact been 8 attempts as of 2016 all ending in failures that I heard of could be more, luckily there has been only one casualty no fatality unlike the the rest of the ‘King Route’s which have a high fatality rate. This will probably change however the more people try. I know of a Swedish and an American team that plan on an?attempt in 2017 weather permitting. The entire area is the most deadly area of Everest compared to successful summit attempts. After failure in 06 I?summited both the normal routes in 2009 and 10. ?Probably will never go back myself tho I got very ill with acute bronchitis after my summit in 2010. ? Hope that helps. You can increase the fatality rate if that helps the narrative.?
