Jon Krakauer’s Into Thin Air chronicled the 1996 Everest disaster and launched a generation of interest in climbing and the natural world, but for Jon the tragedy that unfolded around him left him struggling with PTSD and searching for peace. Now 30 years later, Jon reflects on his career, the expedition that changed his life and why writing has always been harder than climbing.   Read the 30th Anniversary edition of Into Thin Air by Jon KrakauerWatch Climbing Gold on YouTubeThanks to our sponsorsThe North Face Check out Summit Series at thenorthface.com Maui Nui Get exclusive access to the new spicy venison stick at mauinui.com/climbinggold David Buy 4 cartons and get the 5th one for free at davidprotein.com/climbinggoldTurtlebox Take your music anywhere turtleboxaudio.comLMNT Get your free LMNT Sample Pack with any purchase at www.drinklmnt.com/climbinggold.
