The Outlook Podcast Archive - The mountain between us

In the 1990s, Alex Lowe and Conrad Anker were earning reputations as some of the best mountain climbers in the world. Jenni, Alex's wife, was a constant support. But after a fateful expedition on a mountain in Tibet, these three lives would become connected in a way they couldn't even imagine. This story was first broadcast on 5th May 2018.

A new documentary about the family's story, directed by Alex's son Max Lowe, is called Torn.
