Towering more than 20,000 feet in Alaska and shrouded in volatile weather most of the time, the mountain has claimed numerous lives. And for those that survive, their lives are forever changed.
"Thirty Below" is the story of a group of women who formed friendships and a team, then ventured up a mountain that would nearly cost them their lives. It did, however, cost them their friendships. What happened on that mountain is a true story hidden from the world ... until now.
