Tragedy with a View

When 20 year old Patty and her sister Corina took off to climb one of the highest mountains in the Andes, they had no idea it would lead to a death, and heartache, only to be given peace 42 years later.
The outdoors are a beautiful that can be filled with light and bliss and many different ways to bring yourself closer to those you love and yourself. But they can also be filled with terror and death, imminent and oppressive. Join me as we dig into these stories that inspire you to be just a little bit more careful while you’re in the outdoors.
