In this episode, Chris Kalman narrates "Less Rich Without You," a story by Nick Bullock that was first published in Alpinist 68 (Winter 2019-20). The story chronicles Bullock's attempt to climb a new route on Minya Konka, a 7556-meter peak in Sichuan Province, China, in 2018. At age 52, on his twenty-fourth expedition, he and Paul Ramsden make their way through the hazardous maze of an icefall amid heavy mist and falling snow—and through the allures and pitfalls of a modern professional climbing life. Narrated by Chris Kalman. Audio Production by Nick Mott. [Photo] Nick Bullock This episode is possible thanks to the support of Rab | The Mountain People.
