This week's insight into Everest comes from Benny Lieber, who is a lead guide for Furtenbach Adventures and finds himself at Everest Base Camp with Kenton.

Benny is no stranger to the podcast (check out episode 126), but this week he shares his view on all things Everest - the icefall, the route up the mountain, the challenge, the history, the logistics that make it possible and why he keeps coming back.

Listen in to hear his perspective on the world's highest mountain.
