In 1995, Swedish climber Göran Kropp loaded 200 pounds of gear into a bike trailer and started pedalling from Sweden toward Nepal. His plan was to ride to Everest, climb it alone without bottled oxygen, and ride home.

He arrived in the spring of 1996, the deadliest season in Everest's history.
This is the story of Göran Kropp: the bike ride, the climb, the disaster, and the decision that defined everything.
