Adventures Gone Wrong
Welcome to Adventures Gone Wrong — a podcast where outdoor adventures take a turn, survival is optional, and questionable decisions are part of the journey.
I’m Stacie, your chaos-loving storyteller from the Yukon. I dig into real-life tales of risk, resilience, and what happens when the wilderness doesn’t go according to plan.
Some stories will make you laugh. Some will make you say “WHY would they do that?!” All of them will make you glad it wasn’t you.

Annapurna: Why Does the Deadliest Mountain Now Have a Waiting Line?
•
Adventure Chaos with Stacie
Annapurna was the first 8,000-meter peak ever climbed, three years before Everest. It should have been a triumph. Instead, the climbers who made history lost every finger and toe getting back down.
75 years later, Annapurna is still taking lives. But now it's not just elite alpinists on the mountain, it's commercial clients, guided expeditions, and climbers who've never been above 8,000 meters.
This is the story of the world's deadliest mountain, the people who keep climbing it, and what it costs the Sherpas who make those climbs possible.
