Episode 93: We're Young. We're Fun. We're Hot. Let's Climb A Rock (Kidnap of Four American Rock Climbers In Kyrgyzstan)

Anxious and Afraid The Pod

In this week's episode, the gang returns from their break to bring you an action-packed story of adventure and tragedy in the country of Kyrgyzstan.
In the year 2000, 4 young American rock climbers would depart on a trip of a lifetime to a remote region of Kyrgyzstan to do some epic climbing, sponsored by The Northface.
Sadly, the group would be taken hostage by members of the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan and the days that followed would test the Americans to the ends of their mental and physical limits.
