When it comes time to climbing the highest mountain in the world, getting there is half the adventure. This Spring, pro climbers Cory Richards and Esteban Topo Mena made the journey to Everest to take on a new route, a bold line up the North Face that nobody had ever successfully ascended. In Episode 5 of The Line, Richards and Topo talk about the cultural experiences and wild mountain landscapes they encountered on their way through Tibet to approach base camp, where they finally met up with old friends who were there to support their climb.
