1
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:49,769
Can you just listen up?

2
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:51,566
Guys?

3
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,845
We got 2,000 feet, 600 vertical meters

4
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:58,890
to Camp Four.

5
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:03,491
It's roped all the way,
so I know you can make it.

6
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,641
Once we get to the yellow band,
we're gonna regroup,

7
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,940
put on the masks, turn on the gas.

8
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:11,690
Make sense?

9
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,140
325 dollars a bottle.

10
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:07,220
For oxygen?

11
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:08,460
That's daylight robbery!

12
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,860
Yeah, well, he's cornered
the market, he's got it.

13
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,884
He reckons there's gonna be 20 teams
at Base Camp this season.

14
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:14,940
Twenty teams?

15
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,921
I mean, with all the Sherpas and porters,
it's gonna be a squeeze up there.

16
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,980
Well, that's a scrum on
the ropes, right there.

17
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,180
- What is this?
- It's Helen's.

18
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,340
It's a little decoration
for the mess tent.

19
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:27,445
You can wear them in your hair.

20
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:28,565
I'll have that. Thank you.

21
00:03:28,640 --> 00:03:30,483
Okay, I got some news.

22
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:32,940
We got Krakauer.

23
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:34,860
You stole him from Scott Fischer?

24
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:36,291
No, he made up his own mind.

25
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:37,811
Good job, Rob!

26
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,780
How much is he paying you, Rob?

27
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,220
Well, he's only paying for his airfare

28
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,300
but we get 5,000 words in the magazine

29
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,180
and our picture on the front cover. Huh?

30
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,860
That makes it all worthwhile.
Right there.

31
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:52,285
Well, if you get him to the top.

32
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:53,540
If?

33
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,340
If? How can you say that to me?

34
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:56,565
There you go. You all right?

35
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,220
Thanks, Guy. Cheers, mate.

36
00:03:58,320 --> 00:03:59,924
- Hey!
- Hello!

37
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,180
- You all right?
- Oh, yeah, how are you?

38
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:04,655
- Me? I'm good.
- Oh, look at you!

39
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,660
I know, I'm big.

40
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:08,660
- Here you go.
- You good?

41
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:10,620
Yeah, you know, I'm just gonna miss you.

42
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:11,926
Come on.

43
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,643
Let's go, Guy.

44
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,820
Just go careful, all right?

45
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:21,410
- It's...
- Please, my love.

46
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:23,763
Come on. Please don't worry.

47
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,131
It's just the doing nothing back here
that's making me worry.

48
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:28,245
You're not doing nothing.

49
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:29,580
No, but...

50
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:30,806
What?

51
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,203
It's the waiting for you.

52
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:35,922
- For him.
- Her.

53
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:37,485
- Her.
- Her.

54
00:04:40,280 --> 00:04:42,965
Just be back for the birth, Rob Hall.

55
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,124
You try and stop me.

56
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:51,020
This is a final call for Air New Zealand
Flight 7419 to Kathmandu.

57
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,340
- Okay, I love you.
- Go, or I'll cry.

58
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:54,680
Go.

59
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:20,166
Yeah.

60
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:21,806
That all you got?

61
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,206
Yeah, that's it.

62
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,648
I think we're over here.

63
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,300
Hey, what outfit you guys with?

64
00:05:36,500 --> 00:05:37,345
Adventure Consultants.

65
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:38,580
Good. Me too.

66
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:39,780
I'm Beck.

67
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:41,723
- Beck Weathers.
- Doug Hansen.

68
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:43,900
- Jon Krakauer.
- How you doing?

69
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,500
- Good.
- Are you, uh...

70
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,300
- Krakauer from Outside magazine?
- Yep.

71
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:49,460
Really?

72
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,620
What are you doing?
Writing or climbing or what?

73
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,860
Little bit of both.

74
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,500
Well, I'll let you know
how the summit goes, okay?

75
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,340
No need. I'll be there.

76
00:05:58,440 --> 00:05:59,771
We'll see.

77
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,860
What do you do when
you're not climbing, Doug?

78
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:19,849
- What, for work?
- Yeah.

79
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,660
Different things.
Carpenter, mailman.

80
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:24,620
Carpenter, mailman?

81
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:25,700
Yep.

82
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,125
Seriously, you deliver the mail?

83
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:28,725
Yeah, I deliver the mail.

84
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:31,780
Mailman on Everest?

85
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,380
Hope so.

86
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,500
I like that.

87
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,364
Mailman on Everest.

88
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:46,660
There we go.

89
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:48,060
- Beck.
- Yeah?

90
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,485
You know he made it to the South
Summit on Everest last year?

91
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,608
- Who, Doug did?
- Yeah.

92
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:54,780
That's pretty high for a mailman.

93
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,327
Yep. Longs Peak, McKinley.

94
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,580
I never made it up to
the top of McKinley myself.

95
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,700
- I know.
- Well, how do you know that?

96
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:05,165
'89, right?

97
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:08,660
You've done your research.

98
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:10,410
That's what we do.

99
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,700
You, my friends, are following
in some very famous footsteps.

100
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,848
A history made famous by George Everest,

101
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,860
George Mallory, Tenzing Norgay,
Edmund Hillary.

102
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:28,420
And Rob Hall!

103
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:33,290
Legends all of them!

104
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,050
That's right.

105
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:38,525
For those of you who
dare face their dreams,

106
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:43,020
Adventure Consultants offers something
beyond the power of words to describe.

107
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,488
And why don't we describe it
in the brochure?

108
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,180
Because it's mostly just pain.

109
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:50,780
- Yes.
- Ain't that the truth?

110
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,802
And the odd, if you don't mind,
Mike, and the odd missing toe.

111
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:57,446
There we go.

112
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:03,580
To put it simply, guys, human beings
simply aren't built to function

113
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,321
at the cruising altitude of a 747.

114
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:11,020
Okay, once we get above here,
above the South Col

115
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:12,405
our bodies will be literally dying.

116
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,420
And I mean literally dying.

117
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,445
It's not called the Death Zone
for nothing, guys.

118
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:17,521
So the game is,

119
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:21,900
can we get you up to the top
and down to the bottom

120
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:23,340
before that happens?

121
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:24,869
You sure can.

122
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,140
Beck Weathers, ladies and gentlemen.

123
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,620
You might have noticed
a bit of the Lone Star State?

124
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,245
100% Texan right here, people.

125
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,362
100% Texan.

126
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,163
You've met Mike Groom.

127
00:08:36,680 --> 00:08:38,580
I'd like to introduce you
to Andy Harris.

128
00:08:38,680 --> 00:08:40,285
- Harold.
- Our other guide out of Queenstown.

129
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,420
Taranaki, actually, originally. Kia Ora.

130
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,125
Helen and the rest of the team
are already on the way up to Base Camp.

131
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,380
They're setting it up
for when we get there.

132
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:48,900
Today's March 30, people.

133
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:50,980
I plan on going for the summit May 10.

134
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,580
It's been a lucky day for me
and Adventure Consultants

135
00:08:53,680 --> 00:08:56,060
and the weather's usually
pretty stable around then.

136
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:57,300
So that means,

137
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:02,300
we have 40 days to train your bodies
and your minds to go for it.

138
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,449
Now, I know there's a lot of
mountaineering experience in this room.

139
00:09:05,560 --> 00:09:06,900
You wouldn't be here without it.

140
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,940
Stu, K2, Broad Peak.

141
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:10,980
John Taske.

142
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,580
1,192 meters of Mount Kosciuszko.

143
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,566
And... I mean, Yasuko Namba.

144
00:09:17,680 --> 00:09:20,140
Six of the Seven Summits and the only woman.

145
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:21,180
There you go.

146
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:22,780
- Let's make it seven.
- Thank you.

147
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,420
But Everest, though, is another beast,
another beast altogether.

148
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,325
That's why you're here,
isn't that right, Dougie?

149
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,801
Oh, yeah. Yeah.

150
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,620
So, listen. Tonight, that's it from me.
Eat, drink, be merry.

151
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:36,085
Tomorrow, we trek.

152
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:40,700
- We good?
- You ready for this?

153
00:09:42,560 --> 00:09:43,925
Dougie.

154
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:46,660
All right, folks, hang on.

155
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:47,740
Okay.

156
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,525
- That's it, here we go, Colonel.
- All right, everybody, earbuds.

157
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,580
Take your seats, buckle in, everyone.

158
00:09:52,680 --> 00:09:53,681
Thanks, Mike.

159
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,500
Do or die. Here we go.

160
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:57,761
Okay.

161
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:00,220
Can you believe it?

162
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,529
Bravo 270 en route, request Bravo 410.

163
00:10:33,680 --> 00:10:34,885
Keep 'em all in a nice group.

164
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:36,086
Hey, guys, take it easy.

165
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:38,780
- Yes, I'm ready.
- Ready.

166
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:40,580
We're kicking it off, let's go.

167
00:10:40,680 --> 00:10:42,523
You lead the way, pal.

168
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:44,580
You all right?

169
00:10:44,680 --> 00:10:45,806
Yes.

170
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,260
Guys, man wants to see
your climbing permits.

171
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,460
Need to see all your climbing permits!

172
00:11:24,560 --> 00:11:26,740
Namaste.

173
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:28,445
Thank you very much,
we'll see you on the way back.

174
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,170
Thank you very much.

175
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,420
- All good?
- Yeah, yeah. Yeah, you?

176
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,090
- Yeah.
- Hey, uh...

177
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:36,325
Thanks, Rob.

178
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:37,980
Thanks for what?

179
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:39,684
You know, the discount.

180
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,340
Well, you're working three jobs, Doug.

181
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:44,445
It was the least I could do, mate.

182
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,967
I know, you didn't have to do it,
though, and I appreciate it.

183
00:11:49,680 --> 00:11:51,325
Let's just get you to the top this time.

184
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:52,686
Yeah.

185
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,209
How you feeling, Beck?

186
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:07,460
Fair to middling.

187
00:12:07,560 --> 00:12:09,420
Come on, buddy, you can do it.

188
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,445
Thought I was gonna acclimatize
faster than this.

189
00:12:11,820 --> 00:12:13,740
You'll be all right.

190
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:17,730
Darn critters.

191
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:37,483
- Wow.
- Yeah.

192
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:44,540
How close did you get?

193
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,820
Well, I got real close
but it got late and I was

194
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:49,684
pretty shot anyways.

195
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,967
Well, I think I would
have made a run for it.

196
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:54,405
Every day I wake up thinking that.

197
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:55,980
Then why didn't you do it?

198
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:57,411
'Cause I turned him around.

199
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,940
Morning 15 at the South Summit,
bad conditions,

200
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,620
we weren't gonna make
our 2:00 p.m. turnaround.

201
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:05,365
See, it's all good and well
to make the top, Beck,

202
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,780
but you pay me to bring you down safely.

203
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:09,609
Remember that.

204
00:13:10,680 --> 00:13:11,806
Okay.

205
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:22,844
What's eating him?

206
00:13:23,680 --> 00:13:26,300
One of our Sherpas, Tenzing.
He had an accident.

207
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,164
- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.

208
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,605
Fell while fixing one
of the ladders on the Icefall.

209
00:13:30,680 --> 00:13:33,809
It's not good.
They had to bring him down.

210
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:16,326
Namaste.

211
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:21,681
Namaste.

212
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:22,260
Congratulations, you all made it.
Welcome to Base Camp!

213
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,328
We got the United
Nations here this year.

214
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,920
Got the IMAX team, South Africans.

215
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,004
And right up here

216
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,449
in the best spot of all

217
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,043
we have the Adventure
Consultants Base Camp.

218
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,481
- Hey, Helen.
- Hey. Hi, how are you?

219
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,580
- Good to see you. Thank you.
- Welcome, nice to see you.

220
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:43,700
- Hi, Rob.
- Hey.

221
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:45,380
Well done, you all right?

222
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:46,500
Yeah, good. You?

223
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,100
- Yeah, no, we're good.
- It looks good.

224
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,500
For those of you that haven't met,
this is Helen Wilton,

225
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:52,940
Base Camp manager.

226
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:56,567
She will be your mom
for the next few weeks.

227
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:58,565
Any problems, take it to
her and she'll sort it.

228
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:00,900
All right, well, it's very nice

229
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:02,650
to finally meet you all in person.

230
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:04,180
Ang Dorjee, come here.

231
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:05,940
This is Ang Dorjee, everyone.

232
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,725
He's your climbing sirdar,
your lead Sherpa.

233
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:10,820
Hey, how are ya?

234
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:12,020
You speak English?

235
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,329
Better than you, Mr. America.

236
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,920
- Bet you climb better than I do, huh?
- Yeah.

237
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:19,681
Yeah?

238
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:21,965
Summited three times, Beck.

239
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:23,485
All right, all right.
I hear ya, I hear ya.

240
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:27,807
All right, well, there's tea in the mess
tent when you've dumped your sacks

241
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:32,060
and the comms tent's down the back,
that's the cooking tent, and over there

242
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:33,650
is the toilet.

243
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,740
It's a little bit drafty,
but just remember that

244
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:41,840
when the wind gets up here, you've got
the same view that George Everest did.

245
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,580
For those of you
who haven't used crampons before

246
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,565
the left and rights are marked with an "L"
and an "R," so you can't get it wrong.

247
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:56,020
All right? So, simple.

248
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,522
First of all, you push it
into the shoe with this.

249
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:01,740
Unbelievable.

250
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,500
If it isn't the mayor of Base Camp!

251
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,444
Scott Fischer, Mr. Mountain Madness.

252
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:09,740
In the flesh.

253
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:11,300
You want a cup?

254
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,722
Sit down, man. Acclimatize!

255
00:17:15,360 --> 00:17:18,445
Okay. I'm normally a tea man myself,
but let's give it a go.

256
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:20,724
Thank you so much.

257
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,049
Wow. It's crazy this year, eh?

258
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:29,940
I know, man.

259
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,620
Some idiot Kiwi goes and invents
Himalayan guiding

260
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:34,860
and look what happens.

261
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,540
Yeah, it didn't take you too long
to get in on the act.

262
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,642
Gotta make a living, man.

263
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:43,900
You went ahead and fixed
the icefalls, I see.

264
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:45,081
Yeah, yeah.

265
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:46,725
- It's pretty messy up there this year.
- Yeah?

266
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:48,260
Crevasses are pretty big.

267
00:17:48,360 --> 00:17:50,300
Strung four or five ladders across.

268
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,085
You used good ropes though, didn't you?

269
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:54,860
You ready? Okay.

270
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,180
This is, um, April 7th,
about 10:30 a.m.,

271
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,522
this is Sandy Hill Pittman,
reporting for NBC Interactive Media

272
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,286
and we are officially at Everest Base Camp!

273
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:06,540
- She one of yours?
- Oh, yeah.

274
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,500
Someone went and stole my journalist

275
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,540
so I had to get another one.

276
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,140
She's a lot easier on the eye
than Jon Krakauer,

277
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:14,445
- that's for sure.
- Listen, just to be clear,

278
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:15,565
I didn't steal your journalist.

279
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:16,660
Hey, man, it's all good.

280
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,060
Outside magazine gave me a call.

281
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:20,660
- Hey. Hey!
- They gave me a call.

282
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:22,740
- Said they wanted to...
- It's all good, man.

283
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:27,443
They were gonna send a journalist up
the hill and asked me if I was interested.

284
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,122
It was his call in the end.

285
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:42,085
All right, Caroline MacKenzie,
team doctor.

286
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:43,660
Why don't you kick it off, Caro.

287
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:45,489
- Hi, everyone.
- Hey, Caro.

288
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:46,840
Hi there.

289
00:18:48,360 --> 00:18:50,522
- Sorry.
- That's fine.

290
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,020
So Rob and Harold and Mike will tell you

291
00:18:54,120 --> 00:18:58,248
all sorts of stuff about mountaineering,
but from a medical standpoint

292
00:18:58,360 --> 00:19:01,860
getting you to the top of Everest
is really about oxygen.

293
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:03,580
And the lack of it.

294
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,540
To give you the best chance of summiting

295
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,930
you need to prepare your bodies
for the thin air up there.

296
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,660
So, over the next month,
before the final ascent

297
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,660
you're gonna make three
partial acclimatizing ascents

298
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,001
returning here to
Base Camp after each one.

299
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:21,523
The bad news is that each ascent
begins and ends with the Icefall.

300
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,220
I'm sorry, but there
is no way around it.

301
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:29,580
There are millions of tons of glacial
ice continually moving day and night.

302
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:31,620
You got seracs the size of tower blocks,

303
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:35,327
you got crevasses so deep they
probably don't even have a bottom.

304
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,845
It is not a place that you wanna
get caught hanging out in,

305
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:39,580
especially when the sun hits it.

306
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:43,167
So we're gonna be up nice and early
and through that as soon as possible.

307
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,965
Now the Sherpas have gone ahead and
fixed the ladders across the crevasses

308
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,380
and we've made it as
safe as we possibly can.

309
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,687
But that is not to say
that it is completely safe.

310
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,051
19 people have died in that Icefall.

311
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,041
Hold on!

312
00:19:58,240 --> 00:19:59,540
Steady.

313
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:00,820
You all right, Jon?

314
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:02,500
You all right?

315
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:03,860
- I'm good.
- Okay.

316
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:05,740
All right, steady up.

317
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,380
So remember, we're a team.

318
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:10,084
Let's look out for each other.

319
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:15,971
Look out for hypothermia, things like
slurred speech and irrational behavior.

320
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:20,340
I've seen hypoxic climbers rip off
all their clothes at 8,000 meters

321
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:22,568
because they're feeling hot.

322
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,740
You all know about cerebral edema,
the swelling of your brain

323
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,049
to the point of loss of motor function
and eventually death.

324
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,883
And pulmonary edema,
which is your lungs filling with fluid

325
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:36,980
so you effectively drown.

326
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,765
The only cure is to get
down the mountain, fast.

327
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:42,062
- All right, okay.
- All right, buddy.

328
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,580
But it is not all doom
and gloom here, okay?

329
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:48,380
Myself and the whole AC team are here
to make sure you get up and down safely

330
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,180
and you will acclimatize naturally.

331
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:55,406
So why don't we all give Caro a nice big
thank you, it's her first time here.

332
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,447
- All right.
- Nice job.

333
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:10,811
Well done.

334
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:12,969
See, you want to get on the regulator.

335
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:14,205
You want to hear that hiss.

336
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:17,660
Connect your hose.

337
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:19,660
- Yasuko.
- Beck.

338
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:21,180
- How'd you do, darling?
- Okay.

339
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:22,860
- Good?
- Well done.

340
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:26,060
- Can I get a hit of that?
- Have a suck on that.

341
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,860
In a situation like this, you just wanna
catch your breath, throw it up to four.

342
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,005
- You should start feeling pretty good.
- I can feel it already.

343
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:33,580
How did you boys go?

344
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:35,020
- Hey.
- Instant happiness.

345
00:21:35,120 --> 00:21:37,168
- It's amazing.
- Very happy.

346
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:42,809
Doug, you okay?

347
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,887
When we get back to Base, I want you
to get Caro to take a look at you.

348
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,923
- No. I'm all right, I'm okay.
- No, no.

349
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,125
And do me a favor,
spend your night on oxygen.

350
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:52,380
- Yeah?
- Yeah.

351
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:53,460
We got enough?

352
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:55,449
- We got plenty.
- All right.

353
00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:59,687
Get some tea into ya.

354
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,140
Just lift your shirt up a bit.

355
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:03,571
Thank you.

356
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:08,643
And take a deep breath for me?

357
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,765
Just take one of those in the morning
with a bit of water, before breakfast.

358
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:19,569
Okay, thanks.

359
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,843
- Right, Beck, you're up.
- Sorry. Here, go for it.

360
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,170
Read it and weep.

361
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:28,563
Take it easy, Doug.

362
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:33,500
- Right, you can stop.
- Yeah?

363
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:34,605
You're in great shape, Beck.

364
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:35,681
I am in great shape.

365
00:22:36,120 --> 00:22:38,020
- You are.
- Six days a week in the gym.

366
00:22:38,120 --> 00:22:40,260
- Ought to do it.
- Your wife must love that.

367
00:22:40,360 --> 00:22:41,361
Yeah, she does.

368
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,100
Oh, no. What's the date today?

369
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:46,140
April 25th.

370
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,971
No!

371
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,380
I need to send a message to my wife.
Can I use your fax?

372
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:57,685
You might wanna look at this one first.

373
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,081
It came in for you last night.

374
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,123
- Lord.
- What?

375
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,300
Can I use your sat phone?

376
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,860
Well, if this did come in last night,
it's an emergency.

377
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:14,540
It's 25 bucks a minute, Beck.

378
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:15,700
Yep, fine.

379
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:17,040
No, this one's on us.

380
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:18,700
Seriously?

381
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:20,040
Thanks.

382
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:22,641
Rob!

383
00:23:24,360 --> 00:23:26,860
- Beck?
- Peach, it's me.

384
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:28,420
What's happened?

385
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:30,045
Nothing, nothing. I'm fine.

386
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:32,245
Where are you?

387
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,880
I'm at Base Camp right now.

388
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:37,980
You're calling me from Everest?

389
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:39,860
Yeah, it's a satellite phone, honey.

390
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:43,300
Oh, my God, how much is that costing?
What's the problem?

391
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:44,700
There is no problem, Peach.

392
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:48,340
I'm sorry, we were up at Camp Two

393
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,603
and that's why I didn't
send you a fax yesterday.

394
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,890
Happy anniversary! Okay?

395
00:23:58,160 --> 00:23:59,220
How are the kids?

396
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:00,446
Fine.

397
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:02,180
Peach?

398
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:03,611
Bub's here

399
00:24:05,120 --> 00:24:07,860
doing his homework
in the morning, as per usual.

400
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:08,960
You wanna say hi to him?

401
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:10,660
Well, yeah, of course I do.

402
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:11,820
- Hang on.
- Okay.

403
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:13,020
- Say hi.
- Hey, Dad!

404
00:24:13,120 --> 00:24:14,100
- Hey, bud!
- Hi!

405
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:15,804
I miss you, buddy.

406
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:18,920
And Meg went on her
first date last weekend.

407
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:21,140
Well, you did!

408
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,288
Wow! Really?

409
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:25,484
- Get off!
- Peach?

410
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,460
I miss you, honey.

411
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,540
Mom? Mom?

412
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:34,290
I miss the kids.

413
00:24:36,120 --> 00:24:37,326
A lot.

414
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:40,380
Peach?

415
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,380
Listen, I gotta get the kids to school

416
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:45,209
so I gotta run.

417
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:48,100
Okay.

418
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:49,201
Yeah, go careful.

419
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:51,121
Bye-bye.

420
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,170
Is Dad okay?

421
00:24:58,000 --> 00:24:59,843
Just, he never calls.

422
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:03,289
I think he's scared.

423
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,321
Here, come in, mate, come on!

424
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,168
- Come on.
- Come on, Beck.

425
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,740
You don't dance, you don't climb!

426
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,081
Come on, guys, Beck Weathers!

427
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,362
No dance, no climb! No dance, no climb!

428
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:43,860
Hey, man. Breaking into the rations?

429
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:44,961
Yeah, you want some?

430
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,041
No. I'll wait till we summit.

431
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,286
I don't know about that, Neal.

432
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:54,780
We'll get there.

433
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:55,900
I'm excited.

434
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,490
Anyway, me and Anatoli
are here to help you, you know?

435
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,405
There's too much competition, Toli.

436
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,284
We don't need competition
between people.

437
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:17,651
There is competition between
every person and this mountain.

438
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:24,367
The last word always belongs
to the mountain.

439
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,340
- Ang Dorjee!
- Yeah?

440
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,647
Stay there, Beck, stay there.

441
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,123
Okay, I'm coming down!

442
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,060
Harold, Mike, this is Rob.

443
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,845
- Mike here.
- This isn't happening, guys.

444
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:07,849
Let's turn 'em around,

445
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,563
let's get 'em off the face and back down
to Base Camp. Turn around.

446
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:13,639
- Ang Dorjee, come on, we're going down.
- Okay.

447
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:21,006
My hand.

448
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:24,860
Okay, make a fist again.

449
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,440
Keep clenching,
just keep the blood flowing.

450
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,180
What's going on, man?

451
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,740
We're still waiting
for the South Africans.

452
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,161
Taiwanese took forever as well.

453
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,740
Hey, Ian.
You haven't paid for these ladders.

454
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,684
Yeah, yeah. Your Yak
Fund money's coming.

455
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:46,660
You serious, man?

456
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:48,000
Come on, get a move on.

457
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:55,885
How long you been waiting here?

458
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:57,140
Good 45 minutes.

459
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:58,401
Man, it's freezing.

460
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:00,460
- Yeah.
- It's stinging, huh?

461
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,210
Yeah. Right at the tips.

462
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:03,445
Hey, Rob, we gotta get 'em over.

463
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:04,580
We're working on it.

464
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:06,409
He's freezing, mate.

465
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:09,780
- Are you set?
- Clear.

466
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,724
- Sending him over, Mike!
- Yeah, all right.

467
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,100
Looking good, Beck.

468
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:22,725
Looking good.

469
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:32,360
That's it. No, head up, mate, head up.

470
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:50,846
Steady yourself!

471
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,620
Little help? Help! Help!

472
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:57,980
Mike, you good?

473
00:28:58,080 --> 00:28:59,165
Are these ladders gonna take two?

474
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:00,725
Yeah, I'll get a rope, I'll belay you.

475
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:01,965
Just stay right where you are, mate.

476
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:03,100
I can't pull myself up!

477
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,580
I'm gonna come out to you.

478
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:06,700
Okay.

479
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:07,805
You're good, Beck, you're okay.

480
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:08,900
Got it for you.

481
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,245
- Right, tie me in, Scott, tie me in.
- Come and get me!

482
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:12,700
- On belay?
- Got it. On belay.

483
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:14,060
Let's go.

484
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,561
Right, I'm coming out to you, Beck.
Here I come, mate.

485
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,971
Nice and easy, you're tied in, mate.

486
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,500
- I can't feel my hands.
- You're looking good.

487
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:30,090
- Grab me.
- Beck, Beck, Beck.

488
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,140
- Grab me!
- Stay right where you are, mate.

489
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:33,485
I'm right here, I'm coming to you.

490
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,460
I can't pull myself up!

491
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:36,800
I got ya.

492
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:46,931
You okay?

493
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:50,940
There's no guarantee
to the summit, I get it.

494
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:55,441
But to get killed because I'm waiting
in line like I'm in freaking Walmart.

495
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:58,860
That's not why I
paid you 65,000 dollars.

496
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:00,564
Now get me off of here.

497
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:05,124
That's it.
Plant your feet one at a time.

498
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:13,045
All right, thanks for coming by.

499
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,580
Look, Base Camp's, you know,
chockablock full this year, so,

500
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:19,700
I think it would all benefit us greatly

501
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:20,980
by coming together like this

502
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,365
and, you know, working out
some kind of plan and schedule.

503
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:24,771
What, like some kind of rota?

504
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:25,900
Yes.

505
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:27,331
On Everest?

506
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:32,420
Everyone knows Everest is a business
for you, Robert, are you kidding?

507
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:34,725
What gives you the right to tell us
when we can climb and when we can't?

508
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:36,689
I'm not telling you, mate. I'm asking.

509
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:39,645
If we know when everybody's
planning to summit, for instance,

510
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,888
you know, we can avoid the chaos
that happened in the Icefall today.

511
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:45,780
Adventure Consultants
are aiming for May 10.

512
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:47,860
- So are we, man!
- Us too.

513
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:49,166
May 10.

514
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,380
Okay, that's bumper-to-bumper
traffic on the Hillary Step.

515
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:55,565
Yes, it is, that's my point.

516
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,530
Look, this is ridiculous.
We're summiting when we want.

517
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:00,140
All right?

518
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:03,180
And I don't need your permission
to climb the mountain.

519
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:05,365
Ian, have you seen how many people
are here at Base Camp?

520
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:07,761
- We're finished here. Come on, guys.
- Ian! Hey, man.

521
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:23,890
Oh, Rob!

522
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:27,045
- Come in, man!
- Hi.

523
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:30,060
Have a drink, Rob! Come on, man.

524
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:31,820
Na zdorovie.

525
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:33,251
Na zdorovie!

526
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,328
- Can we have a word?
- Yeah.

527
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:43,420
You feeling a little crook, huh?

528
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:44,900
No, it's just a little...

529
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:46,700
Little touch of the Delhi belly.

530
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:48,180
He means Buddha belly.

531
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:49,900
Maybe Sandy's caviar.

532
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,780
I told you not to have
the Dom Perignon with it!

533
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:54,882
What's going on, Roberto?

534
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:06,220
I don't like the look
of the crowds on the ropes.

535
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,768
I think we're gonna have some trouble
once we get above Camp Three.

536
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:12,125
I mean, you wanna top
it on the 10th, yeah?

537
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:13,770
- Yeah.
- So do I.

538
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:17,540
What, are you saying we should team up?

539
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:19,642
Well, it's an idea, yeah.

540
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:22,565
Oh, man.

541
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,410
I don't know, man.
We have different styles, man.

542
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:34,411
All due respect, you're a hand-holder.
I mean, the best, but...

543
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,300
I just believe that if you
can't get up there yourself

544
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:39,860
you shouldn't be on the mountain at all.

545
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,820
You guide your team, I guide mine.

546
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,685
I'm just suggesting that we work
with each other instead of against.

547
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,491
The only way we both summit,
mate, is if we work together.

548
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:51,722
Particularly fixing the ropes.

549
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:54,329
It's gotta make sense.

550
00:33:01,300 --> 00:33:02,167
Why not?

551
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:06,140
- Yeah?
- Yeah, I see the sense in it.

552
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,060
Good man. That was all.

553
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:09,525
All right.

554
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:13,010
Who's gonna lead when we get up there?

555
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:20,324
Rob. If I say I will
do it, it will be done.

556
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:29,569
You gotta work with Ang Dorjee,
because we're working together now.

557
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:32,820
I'm just saying, if both of us...

558
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:36,806
Okay?

559
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:38,685
Ang Dorjee.

560
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:42,045
We're all professionals here.

561
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:44,380
We'll work together and
we'll get the job done. Yes?

562
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:45,500
- All right.
- Yeah.

563
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:49,680
We're planning on stashing, what, eight
bottles of O up at the South Summit.

564
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:51,860
- Well, I'm not using O.
- What do you mean?

565
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:53,205
You're not using oxygen at all?

566
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:54,405
Come on, man. You know you want to.

567
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:55,900
English air. Don't need it.

568
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,205
Yeah, but Anatoli,
you're guiding for Scott this year.

569
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:00,820
You have people's lives
in your hands. It's a job.

570
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,491
Never used it. Never will.

571
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:05,887
Bigger problems if you run out.

572
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:08,001
Okay.

573
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:10,085
I'll put some more
bottles of O up there.

574
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:11,869
- All right, that'll be good.
- All right.

575
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:13,685
Just so long as you guys are clear.

576
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,580
If you work for me, you use oxygen,
otherwise you don't work for me.

577
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:18,125
You don't have to ask, mate.

578
00:34:18,240 --> 00:34:19,725
I've been up there
before without O's, Rob.

579
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:21,300
I don't need to do it with clients.

580
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:23,562
All right, next we have to fix ropes.

581
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:26,140
- Yeah.
- Particularly above the Lhotse Face.

582
00:34:26,240 --> 00:34:28,100
Hillary Step need new fixed rope.

583
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:29,580
And South-East Ridge as well.

584
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:30,841
Yes, it does. Well...

585
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:33,380
My idea is that we work together
and we fix ropes together.

586
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:34,580
We share the duties.

587
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:35,820
- Okay?
- Sounds good.

588
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:37,565
All right, you and Lopsang
maybe get together.

589
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:40,450
Talk about who wants
to fix what and where, okay?

590
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:45,524
Only essentials. I'm not gonna tell you
what to pack, but be brutal. Okay?

591
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:47,927
One pound down here is like 10 up there.

592
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:52,020
Light and fast.

593
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:55,442
What, and just like that,
you kill my summit cappuccino.

594
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:58,847
Go, go, go! Run!

595
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:01,580
- That camera's totally dying.
- Okay.

596
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:03,700
All right, it's gonna be a tough week.

597
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:07,100
But it is gonna be the best Friday
of your lives.

598
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:09,420
Yeah, what are we doing again on Friday?

599
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:11,409
Summiting!

600
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:16,245
- Now it's up to me, right?
- Yes, it is, yes, it is.

601
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:17,340
I'll take three.

602
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:18,680
It's from Jan.

603
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:24,860
I knew it was gonna be a girl.
I can't believe it.

604
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:25,961
It's a girl!

605
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:31,060
All right, good on you!

606
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:32,500
I knew I was.

607
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:33,605
- I knew she was.
- Congratulations.

608
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:35,489
Thank you, thank you, Doug.
Cheers, mate.

609
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:37,820
When's she due?

610
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:39,420
Mid-July, as soon as I get back.

611
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:40,940
You better sleep now, buddy.

612
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:42,485
Yeah, that's true.

613
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:44,420
Hey, Rob.

614
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:45,820
- Yeah?
- So...

615
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:47,365
Jan doesn't mind you being here?

616
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:51,260
Krakauer's sword is unleashed.

617
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:53,940
It's okay.
Jan's a climber, Jon, she gets it.

618
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:55,900
- Yeah!
- Cheers, Helen.

619
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:57,565
What about you, Doug?
What about your wife?

620
00:35:57,640 --> 00:35:59,768
Oh, she's been fine with it,
ever since we divorced.

621
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:02,245
She's been great
with everything since then.

622
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:03,420
I'm so sorry, buddy.

623
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:04,860
No, no.

624
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:07,660
No, no, no, I ask
because Peach said to me,

625
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:10,100
"If you climb one more mountain,
I will divorce you."

626
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:13,283
And you went ahead
and then booked this trip!

627
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:19,169
No, no, no, the worst part of it
is that I kind of forgot to tell her.

628
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:22,605
You don't forget to tell her
you're climbing Everest!

629
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:23,645
I forgot to tell her, I did.

630
00:36:23,720 --> 00:36:26,740
All right. It's all on the table, here.

631
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:31,060
It hurts, it's dangerous,
it destroys relationships,

632
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:32,780
it's costing you all a small fortune.

633
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:34,445
Are there any negative
aspects to this game?

634
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:37,620
I gotta ask the question, you know I do.

635
00:36:37,720 --> 00:36:39,165
Why?

636
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:41,681
Why.

637
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:44,260
Because...

638
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:46,044
It's there!

639
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:48,648
That's why. Thank you, Mr. Mallory.

640
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:51,260
Come on. Guys, I'm serious.

641
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:54,250
Yasuko. Why are you climbing Everest?

642
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:58,460
I'm 47 years old,

643
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:02,140
I have reached six of
the seven summits, so...

644
00:37:02,240 --> 00:37:05,860
Of course, now I have
to reach the seventh.

645
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:07,530
That's not an answer.

646
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:10,260
No. Why any summit?

647
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:11,500
Doug.

648
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:12,886
- Me?
- Why?

649
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:15,005
Come on, tell 'em about the kids.

650
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:16,060
What?

651
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:17,460
Tell 'em about the kids.

652
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:18,840
Whose kids?

653
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:20,769
You have kids?

654
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:23,340
Yeah, I have kids,
but, I thought I told you,

655
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:25,920
there's an elementary school, back home.

656
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:28,602
And I've been going
and talking to the kids there

657
00:37:28,720 --> 00:37:32,140
and they actually helped me
raise some of the money to come

658
00:37:32,240 --> 00:37:35,500
and gave me a flag
to plant on the summit, and...

659
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:38,660
So, I was thinking, maybe it's...

660
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:42,380
They see a regular guy can,

661
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:44,660
you know, follow impossible dreams,

662
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:48,682
maybe they'll be inspired
to do the same, I guess.

663
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:51,920
I'm climbing Mount Everest

664
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:55,285
because I can.

665
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:58,180
Because to be able to climb that high

666
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:01,443
and see that kind of beauty
that nobody ever sees,

667
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:04,722
it'd be a crime not to.

668
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:07,300
Hear, hear, Dougie.

669
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:09,289
- There you go.
- I like that.

670
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:15,860
Hello?

671
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:17,803
Hey. Did I wake you?

672
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:20,081
No.

673
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:22,563
I did too, you liar.

674
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:24,167
Huh?

675
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:27,803
- You okay?
- Yeah.

676
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:29,980
Yeah, yeah, I'm good, I'm better.

677
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:31,445
I'm better now, I'm...

678
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:33,331
I miss you.

679
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,126
We go for the final ascent tomorrow.

680
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,060
So, you summit Friday?

681
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:41,730
Yeah, the 10th.

682
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:43,700
It's your lucky day.

683
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:45,006
It is.

684
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:47,490
How's the weather?

685
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:49,500
It's good.

686
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:51,602
Yeah, I think we're
gonna get a good window.

687
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,420
So, it's a girl.

688
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:55,740
Yeah.

689
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:58,620
And did you go to the doctor,
did you get a scan done?

690
00:38:58,720 --> 00:38:59,740
Did you see her?

691
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:01,126
Yeah, sure did.

692
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:06,060
And? Come on. What did she look like?

693
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:10,060
Oh, you know. Blonde hair, nice smile,
perfect height-to-weight ratio,

694
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:13,004
she's gonna be a great climber.

695
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:15,850
She's there, Rob.

696
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:18,727
- Already.
- Wow.

697
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:20,740
A little me, a little you.

698
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:22,365
A little bear, huh?

699
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:26,771
And then, one day, you

700
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:28,211
and me

701
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:32,260
and our little Sarah,
we'll all go climbing together.

702
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:33,600
Sarah?

703
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:36,660
Yeah, what do you think?

704
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:38,780
- No way!
- Come on.

705
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:39,860
No!

706
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:41,260
Please? Think about it.

707
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:42,691
- No.
- Huh?

708
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:48,620
You still there?

709
00:39:48,720 --> 00:39:50,768
Of course I'm still here.

710
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:54,726
I love you.

711
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:57,130
Love you, too.

712
00:40:01,720 --> 00:40:03,300
Sleep well, my love.

713
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:05,368
All right. Bye.

714
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:23,740
Take it easy, now. You're gonna be okay.

715
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:26,060
We're gonna get you
down the hill. All right?

716
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:27,580
Hey, Neal, you okay?

717
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:29,489
Yeah, Dale, he doesn't look too good.

718
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:31,405
We need to take him down.

719
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:32,900
Yeah.

720
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:34,900
You can't get Scott on the radio?

721
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,446
Nope. Nah, I think he's up ahead.

722
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:49,580
Best not to stare too long
at the summit.

723
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:51,921
That's a long way to go, man.

724
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:57,580
Head down, one step at a time.

725
00:41:57,680 --> 00:41:59,364
You got it, boss.

726
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:03,740
You seen Dale?

727
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:06,620
Yeah, I did, he wasn't looking too good

728
00:42:06,720 --> 00:42:09,940
but Neal seemed to have
a handle on the situation.

729
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:11,045
Tried to get you on the radio.

730
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:13,043
- You're kidding me.
- No.

731
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:16,242
This thing's not working, huh?

732
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:18,611
I'm going down to Camp One.

733
00:42:18,720 --> 00:42:20,645
If he's not doing so well, I'm gonna
take him down to Base Camp

734
00:42:20,720 --> 00:42:23,420
and I'll head back up.
You guys all right?

735
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:24,760
Yeah.

736
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:28,140
He can't be too far ahead of you, mate.

737
00:42:28,240 --> 00:42:31,050
Yeah, I'll make it
down in half the time.

738
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:33,889
I'm gonna catch you!

739
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:52,620
Rob to Guy.

740
00:42:52,720 --> 00:42:55,140
Rob to Guy, you up there, mate?

741
00:42:55,240 --> 00:42:57,720
Yeah, Guy to Rob. I'm here.

742
00:42:57,840 --> 00:42:58,887
Good to hear you, Gee.

743
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:01,260
Where are you?

744
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:03,220
Camp One, Pumori.

745
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:04,526
Yeah.

746
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:08,060
There you go, I got the old sly rotter.

747
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:10,686
Listen, I think you're on
the wrong mountain, there.

748
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:13,660
Look, I can't talk,
we gotta get out of here.

749
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:14,700
All right, mate.

750
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:16,980
Well, listen, you take care
on the kiddie slope.

751
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:18,660
I'm gonna get back to the real thing.

752
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:21,923
Yeah, don't worry, Rob.
I'll keep an eye on you.

753
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:31,921
Ice!

754
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:37,847
Rob!

755
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:40,531
I got you!

756
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:52,291
Harold, you okay?

757
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:57,700
Is everyone okay?

758
00:43:57,800 --> 00:43:59,404
We're okay!

759
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:06,540
Come here, sit down, sit.

760
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:07,846
I'm fine.

761
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:10,740
Look at me.

762
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:12,085
- Look at me.
- I'm fine, mate.

763
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:13,180
Look at me, Harold!

764
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:14,805
Look, I'm telling you, I'm all right.

765
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:16,689
- Okay.
- I'm all right.

766
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:20,281
- There you go.
- Thank you.

767
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:23,327
Don't do that to me again, eh?

768
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:25,885
I'm sorry.

769
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:28,060
Okay, mate.

770
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:31,260
I'm gonna drop back with Frank,
he's struggling a bit, all right?

771
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:32,771
All right.

772
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:37,801
Straight down.

773
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:40,500
Let's get him on the oxygen.

774
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:42,125
Rob Hall to Scott Fischer,
Rob Hall to Scott Fischer,

775
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:43,617
Mountain Madness, how do you copy?

776
00:44:44,240 --> 00:44:46,641
Hey, man! Scott, here.

777
00:44:47,240 --> 00:44:49,780
I've been down to Base Camp,
and I'm back at Camp One.

778
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:51,420
I'm gonna catch you tomorrow.

779
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:54,000
What, you're not gonna
rest up a day first? No?

780
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:56,770
Scott, you sound a little rough.

781
00:44:57,560 --> 00:44:59,100
Mate, take an extra day.

782
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:02,124
No way, José, what,
miss out on all the fun?

783
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:06,140
That's a lot of up and down in one day,
even for you, Scott.

784
00:45:06,240 --> 00:45:08,368
You know what they say, man.

785
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:12,044
It's not the altitude,
it's the attitude.

786
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:15,660
Are you sure you're gonna be okay?

787
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:16,860
- Scott?
- I'll be good.

788
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:19,725
Just taking a shot of dexamethasone now.

789
00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:24,401
Well, just don't push yourself
too hard, okay? Over and out.

790
00:45:31,240 --> 00:45:34,780
Rob, I've just been over to Mal's
to get a weather update.

791
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:36,620
It's moving fast.

792
00:45:36,720 --> 00:45:39,246
It's changed course slightly.

793
00:45:40,240 --> 00:45:43,220
And it could still go north,
but, if it doesn't

794
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:47,006
it's gonna hit sometime
on the 11th, I reckon.

795
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:51,900
It's a weather forecast, Helen.

796
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:53,900
This mountain makes its own weather.

797
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:55,125
We're keeping an eye on it.

798
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:58,402
Yeah, sure, just letting you know.

799
00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:00,090
Appreciate it, Helen.

800
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:04,763
Why do we do this to ourselves?

801
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:10,770
Oh, this is crazy.

802
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:20,761
You know, I never told Krakauer this when
he was asking us why we climb Everest.

803
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:23,124
When I'm at home

804
00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:26,524
I just got this big,

805
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:30,340
black cloud following me.

806
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:32,568
You know, like a depression?

807
00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:36,820
And when I'm out here
on a mountain, any mountain...

808
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:38,160
Yeah?

809
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:41,842
It's just like it's a cure.

810
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:45,489
I feel like I'm reborn.

811
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:48,042
So, you're happy now?

812
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:51,722
No, I'm starting to wonder.

813
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:56,323
This is suffering, man.

814
00:46:57,960 --> 00:46:59,883
- Yeah.
- This is suffering.

815
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:01,331
Yeah.

816
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:06,140
Suffer a few more days,
for the rest of your life you'll be a guy

817
00:47:06,240 --> 00:47:08,481
that got to the top of Everest.

818
00:47:08,720 --> 00:47:10,563
Huh?

819
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:16,002
I just hope I get there.

820
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:18,045
Yeah.

821
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:22,046
Just hope I get there, and get home.

822
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:30,089
What do you think, Mike?

823
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:34,420
Looks pretty good.

824
00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:37,100
Little bit of wind, up higher.

825
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:39,365
I mean, if it picks up,
we can always come back down.

826
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:41,681
- Exactly.
- It's your call, Rob.

827
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:45,371
Let's get 'em all going.

828
00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:40,820
Rob!

829
00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:42,081
You okay?

830
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:44,086
Not good!

831
00:48:49,720 --> 00:48:52,740
I'm hoping it's gonna
die down after sundown.

832
00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:54,780
It's been doing that.

833
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:56,420
I don't like this.

834
00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:59,580
Well, we don't go if it doesn't calm.

835
00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:01,860
I talk to Scott when he comes here.

836
00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:02,961
Okay.

837
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:18,420
Scott! Scott!

838
00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:20,090
- Toli?
- Here!

839
00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:31,860
Toli!

840
00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:34,580
Where's Rob? Where are they?

841
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:36,011
- We go down!
- No.

842
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:39,763
What's Rob's... What's Rob's team doing?

843
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:43,802
He wants to see if this passes.

844
00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:46,170
If he waits,

845
00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:50,340
we wait.

846
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:51,521
Okay.

847
00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:06,970
Hey, guys.

848
00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:09,562
Come out and take a look.

849
00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:26,140
At least somebody up there loves us.

850
00:50:26,240 --> 00:50:27,526
Nothing?

851
00:50:31,240 --> 00:50:33,322
Where'd the storm go?

852
00:50:33,720 --> 00:50:35,210
Exactly.

853
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:37,684
That's crazy.

854
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:39,723
You ready to saddle up?

855
00:50:42,040 --> 00:50:45,169
Okay, everyone. We got a window.

856
00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:50,820
We don't know how long it's gonna last,
but we're gonna go for it.

857
00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:52,780
Be ready in half an hour.

858
00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:55,420
We'll have a 2:00 p.m. turnaround,
let's climb this thing.

859
00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:56,646
Okay.

860
00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:03,042
So, today's the day, huh?

861
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:05,000
Yep.

862
00:51:06,720 --> 00:51:08,245
Now or never.

863
00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:13,010
Oh, boy.

864
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:18,860
Now the South Africans
were late out of Camp Three.

865
00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:21,060
They never made it into Camp Four.

866
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:22,860
Probably got caught up in it.

867
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:24,660
Maybe it blew through early.

868
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:27,180
Yeah, well, it hit us all night,

869
00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:30,060
but now there's nothing.
Absolutely nothing.

870
00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:32,367
So, it's definitely worth a shot.

871
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:35,290
I'll radio out and
tell everyone the news.

872
00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:37,650
Any messages?

873
00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:41,420
Yeah, ring Jan and tell her
that we're heading out.

874
00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:44,860
I'll call you, Helen, in 12 hours
when we get to the summit.

875
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:46,740
Turnaround's 2:00 p.m.

876
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:48,740
Good luck, and Godspeed to you all.

877
00:51:48,840 --> 00:51:51,820
- Okay, thanks, Helen. Bye-bye.
- I'll see you guys up there.

878
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:53,005
- Take it easy, Scott.
- Let's do it.

879
00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:55,365
Gonna get a couple hours
of sleep, and I'll be right behind you.

880
00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:56,445
- Yeah, okay.
- See you at the top.

881
00:51:56,520 --> 00:51:57,540
Have fun, Pittman.

882
00:51:57,640 --> 00:51:59,460
You get some rest, okay?

883
00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:00,500
See you there.

884
00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:02,340
You got the ropes for the Hillary Step?

885
00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:03,540
Yeah.

886
00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:04,940
- Okay.
- Okay.

887
00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:06,883
Okay. Yeah.

888
00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:24,980
Can we go any faster?

889
00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:28,260
Not a chance we can go
faster here. It's too difficult.

890
00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:30,362
This could take a while.

891
00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:33,044
We're losing time.

892
00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:01,460
Beck. What's wrong?

893
00:53:01,560 --> 00:53:03,050
I don't know.

894
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:09,180
I had an operation a couple
years ago, on my eyes.

895
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:10,566
That might be it.

896
00:53:11,240 --> 00:53:13,481
- I don't know.
- Okay.

897
00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:16,380
You guys go in front of us.

898
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:19,529
All right, Beck, let's sit you down.

899
00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:27,362
Beck. Look at me.

900
00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:30,925
I need to send you down with someone.

901
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:32,205
No, I don't wanna go down, Rob.

902
00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:35,568
- No, you gotta go down.
- I don't wanna go down.

903
00:53:38,720 --> 00:53:39,926
Okay.

904
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:45,740
Right, Beck, listen.

905
00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:48,127
You can wait here for half an hour.
Beck, listen to me.

906
00:53:48,240 --> 00:53:52,640
If it gets better by then
join in the queue and keep going up.

907
00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:55,645
But if it doesn't get better,
Beck, I'm sorry, mate, it's over.

908
00:53:55,720 --> 00:53:56,700
Okay.

909
00:53:56,800 --> 00:53:59,967
The Sherpas are gonna go up and drop off
the extra oxygen at the South Summit

910
00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:02,194
then I'm gonna send one
of them down for you.

911
00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:04,089
Is that clear? Yeah?

912
00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:07,300
Okay, mate.

913
00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:08,765
All right.

914
00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:14,005
See you.

915
00:54:15,120 --> 00:54:17,340
Sandy, do you want to go down?

916
00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:19,660
What? No. No way.

917
00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:21,820
Look, Lopsang,
I'm gonna make it to the top.

918
00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:22,921
Do you understand?

919
00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:25,420
- Okay.
- I'm not going back.

920
00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:27,409
- Okay?
- Okay.

921
00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:40,740
Where are the ropes?

922
00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:43,300
There is no rope! No rope.

923
00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:44,765
Yeah, they should have been fixed.

924
00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:46,729
Do you have more in your pack?

925
00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:49,460
Lopsang has the rope. He's not here!

926
00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:51,608
Harold. No ropes?

927
00:54:51,720 --> 00:54:52,767
No.

928
00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:54,980
Neal.

929
00:54:55,080 --> 00:54:56,127
Hey, Rob.

930
00:54:57,160 --> 00:54:58,702
Listen, we got a problem, here, mate.

931
00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:02,420
There's no fixed ropes on the traverse
to the Hillary Step, over.

932
00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:03,765
Where's Ang Dorjee and Lopsang?

933
00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:06,860
Yeah, I've got Ang Dorjee here,
but there's no sign of Lopsang.

934
00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:11,420
So me, Neal, and Toli are gonna
have to set some new ones, over.

935
00:55:11,520 --> 00:55:12,660
- Find them?
- Yeah.

936
00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:14,649
- Good.
- Let's do it!

937
00:55:19,480 --> 00:55:21,060
What's going on?

938
00:55:21,160 --> 00:55:22,810
No fixed ropes.

939
00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:23,967
What?

940
00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:54,860
That's it.

941
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:57,201
One step at a time, Doug.

942
00:56:05,160 --> 00:56:07,766
Come on, Dougie. Deep breaths, Dougie.

943
00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:09,540
Come on, mate, keep it on, keep it on.

944
00:56:09,640 --> 00:56:12,300
Deep breaths, Dougie, hang on. Hang on.

945
00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:22,980
You can do this, Dougie.

946
00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:24,180
I know you can, pal.

947
00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:25,281
Yeah.

948
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:29,084
I don't wanna see you
back here a third time, mate.

949
00:56:29,880 --> 00:56:30,881
Huh?

950
00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:49,610
John. You headed back down?

951
00:56:50,880 --> 00:56:52,300
There's a holdup.

952
00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:54,540
There's no fixed ropes
above the South Summit.

953
00:56:54,640 --> 00:56:57,900
Yeah, I know, mate, but we're
sorting that situation out now.

954
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:01,140
Ran out of juice, waiting. Cold.

955
00:57:01,240 --> 00:57:02,740
I'm sorry, Rob.

956
00:57:02,840 --> 00:57:04,604
It's your call, pal.

957
00:57:07,720 --> 00:57:10,740
I don't wanna run
out of oxygen up there.

958
00:57:10,840 --> 00:57:12,251
Sorry, Rob.

959
00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:20,620
Yeah, bit of a setback.

960
00:57:20,720 --> 00:57:23,780
Lou, Stuart, and John Taske
just turned back.

961
00:57:23,880 --> 00:57:25,980
Just below the South Summit.

962
00:57:26,080 --> 00:57:27,660
How are the conditions, so far?

963
00:57:27,760 --> 00:57:29,140
Cold and windy.

964
00:57:29,240 --> 00:57:30,580
Okay, let me know, Rob.

965
00:57:30,680 --> 00:57:32,921
Okay, Helen, thanks, bye-bye.

966
00:57:34,480 --> 00:57:38,900
I hope we're not looking at another year
with no clients at the top.

967
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:41,060
Well, if they don't get
a move on pretty soon

968
00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:43,140
they're out of time, aren't they?

969
00:57:43,240 --> 00:57:44,321
Yeah.

970
00:57:45,560 --> 00:57:49,201
And what's Jon gonna say
about that in his article?

971
00:57:49,680 --> 00:57:51,900
It's Rob. Guys...

972
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:54,207
We just lost Lou, Stu, and John Taske.

973
00:57:54,320 --> 00:57:56,460
What's going on, what's the holdup?

974
00:57:56,560 --> 00:57:57,980
Yeah, mate, we're...

975
00:57:58,080 --> 00:58:02,380
We still have Toli and Neal
at the top of the Step

976
00:58:02,480 --> 00:58:03,891
fixing the ropes.

977
00:58:04,680 --> 00:58:07,660
We're at the base of the Step, over.

978
00:58:07,760 --> 00:58:09,330
Rob, it's Mike.

979
00:58:10,360 --> 00:58:11,380
How's Doug faring?

980
00:58:11,480 --> 00:58:15,060
Doug's just behind me,
I left him behind to scoot forward.

981
00:58:15,160 --> 00:58:19,220
Yeah, I got eyes on you right now,
yep, that's me. Let's move as...

982
00:58:19,320 --> 00:58:21,060
As quickly as possible, over.

983
00:58:21,160 --> 00:58:25,165
We'll start moving everybody up,
as soon as we get the all clear.

984
00:58:25,760 --> 00:58:28,260
Rob to base, Rob to base,
how copy, Helen?

985
00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:30,740
- You all right?
- Copy, Base Camp to Rob.

986
00:58:30,840 --> 00:58:32,580
Have you heard from Scott?

987
00:58:32,680 --> 00:58:35,580
Anyone managed to find out
where he is, over?

988
00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:37,800
Yo, dude!

989
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:39,820
Look, where are you, mate?

990
00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:41,485
We got a real logjam,
here at the Hillary Step, over.

991
00:58:41,560 --> 00:58:43,050
We're more than an hour behind!

992
00:58:43,160 --> 00:58:44,140
Just chill.

993
00:58:44,240 --> 00:58:46,700
People are just sitting here,
using up their oxygen.

994
00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:48,928
Get here as soon as you can.

995
00:58:50,680 --> 00:58:52,140
You feeling okay, Beck?

996
00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:55,300
Yeah, I got a little
problem with my eyes.

997
00:58:55,400 --> 00:58:56,526
You guys turned back?

998
00:58:57,040 --> 00:59:00,328
There's a logjam below
the Hillary Step. It's crazy.

999
00:59:01,080 --> 00:59:02,500
Come down with us.

1000
00:59:02,600 --> 00:59:05,420
Nah, I can't, promised
Rob I'd wait for him.

1001
00:59:05,520 --> 00:59:06,980
- Your call.
- I'm good.

1002
00:59:07,080 --> 00:59:09,060
See you down there.

1003
00:59:09,160 --> 00:59:10,844
Neal, ready!

1004
00:59:11,880 --> 00:59:15,248
Okay, Toli! I'm done.

1005
00:59:16,880 --> 00:59:20,380
Off rope! Safe to climb!

1006
00:59:20,480 --> 00:59:21,940
Okay, we're climbing up!

1007
00:59:22,040 --> 00:59:23,201
- Hey, Mike.
- What?

1008
00:59:23,320 --> 00:59:25,049
- You mind if I go first?
- Why?

1009
00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:26,327
I'm running pretty low on O.

1010
00:59:28,520 --> 00:59:30,500
Rob, it's Mike, here.

1011
00:59:30,600 --> 00:59:33,500
We've had the all-clear on this end.

1012
00:59:33,600 --> 00:59:37,340
I'm gonna stay here with Yasuko,
until we get a clear line.

1013
00:59:37,440 --> 00:59:40,922
I'll be here till I get a visual
on Doug, over and out.

1014
01:00:33,640 --> 01:00:35,085
Come here.

1015
01:00:38,600 --> 01:00:39,726
We did it!

1016
01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:05,170
You did it!

1017
01:01:34,200 --> 01:01:35,440
Yasuko.

1018
01:01:38,360 --> 01:01:39,580
- Seven.
- Seven.

1019
01:01:39,680 --> 01:01:41,045
- Seven Summits.
- Seven.

1020
01:01:42,400 --> 01:01:46,100
Come here. I'm so proud of you, Yasuko.

1021
01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:48,020
So proud.

1022
01:01:48,120 --> 01:01:49,485
Thank you.

1023
01:01:55,360 --> 01:01:57,362
Rob to Base, Rob to Base.

1024
01:02:00,400 --> 01:02:02,820
Rob, this is Helen, hello?
Where are you?

1025
01:02:02,920 --> 01:02:05,380
I'm on the top of Everest,
Helen, we made it.

1026
01:02:06,880 --> 01:02:08,120
How copy us, over?

1027
01:02:08,240 --> 01:02:10,140
We copy you loud and clear, Rob.

1028
01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:13,100
It's wonderful to
hear your voice up there.

1029
01:02:13,200 --> 01:02:14,500
Who are you with, again, say?

1030
01:02:14,600 --> 01:02:16,489
At the moment, I'm with Mike and Yasuko.

1031
01:02:16,600 --> 01:02:18,205
- Headed down, Rob.
- Now you have to go.

1032
01:02:18,280 --> 01:02:20,220
Rob. See you. Thank you.

1033
01:02:20,320 --> 01:02:22,800
Jon K has already been and gone.

1034
01:02:22,920 --> 01:02:24,620
Doug is just coming over the horizon.

1035
01:02:24,720 --> 01:02:26,740
And what about Beck?

1036
01:02:26,840 --> 01:02:29,460
Beck was having a problem
with his eyesight.

1037
01:02:29,560 --> 01:02:33,740
He waited on the southeast
ridge, on the Balcony

1038
01:02:33,840 --> 01:02:36,140
for the first people
that came back, over.

1039
01:02:36,240 --> 01:02:39,140
And I guess you'll be
leaving right away, yes?

1040
01:02:39,240 --> 01:02:40,780
We'll be off in a few minutes.

1041
01:02:40,880 --> 01:02:43,540
Just as soon as I see Doug,
we'll be heading back down, over.

1042
01:02:43,640 --> 01:02:44,620
Right, understood.

1043
01:02:44,720 --> 01:02:46,380
Well, that's terrific, Rob.

1044
01:02:46,480 --> 01:02:48,980
We're all keeping
our fingers crossed for Doug.

1045
01:02:49,080 --> 01:02:50,889
Over and out, Helen.

1046
01:03:03,120 --> 01:03:05,060
- Congratulations.
- Welcome!

1047
01:03:05,160 --> 01:03:06,180
Yeah, Lopsy!

1048
01:03:06,280 --> 01:03:07,441
You did it!

1049
01:03:41,640 --> 01:03:43,404
You look terrible.

1050
01:03:44,280 --> 01:03:47,523
My stomach's not so good, man.

1051
01:03:48,200 --> 01:03:49,180
See Doug?

1052
01:03:49,280 --> 01:03:51,123
Oh, yeah. He's way, way,

1053
01:03:52,160 --> 01:03:54,100
way back there, man.

1054
01:03:54,200 --> 01:03:57,860
Hey, Roberto.
Where are the rest of your guys?

1055
01:03:57,960 --> 01:04:01,060
'Cause I'm pretty sure my whole team

1056
01:04:01,160 --> 01:04:02,580
made it up, yeah?

1057
01:04:02,680 --> 01:04:04,045
I saw 'em.

1058
01:04:04,560 --> 01:04:06,740
Don't worry, I won't tell Krakauer.

1059
01:04:06,840 --> 01:04:09,100
Well done, mate. I had a mixed bag.

1060
01:04:09,200 --> 01:04:11,282
I'll have to give you this year.

1061
01:04:11,400 --> 01:04:13,620
Scott, you really don't look too good.

1062
01:04:13,720 --> 01:04:15,300
- Lopsang.
- Yeah?

1063
01:04:15,400 --> 01:04:17,801
Come on, mate, let's get him down.

1064
01:04:24,040 --> 01:04:26,691
All right. Let's go.

1065
01:04:51,520 --> 01:04:53,966
Harold. What are you doing?

1066
01:04:55,040 --> 01:04:59,420
I'm just trying to sort the O.
I can't find any full ones.

1067
01:04:59,520 --> 01:05:01,540
There's full bottles,
I saw 'em on the way up.

1068
01:05:01,640 --> 01:05:02,620
No.

1069
01:05:02,720 --> 01:05:04,565
No, I'm pretty sure,
you should have another look.

1070
01:05:04,640 --> 01:05:06,940
No, I just have, they're not full.

1071
01:05:07,040 --> 01:05:08,040
Harold, listen, I saw...

1072
01:05:08,120 --> 01:05:10,202
Look, mate, I checked twice, all right?

1073
01:05:11,240 --> 01:05:13,925
Yeah. All right, man.

1074
01:05:15,400 --> 01:05:16,925
I'm going down.

1075
01:05:18,760 --> 01:05:20,205
Harold?

1076
01:05:28,200 --> 01:05:29,850
Doug, Doug, Doug.

1077
01:05:31,440 --> 01:05:32,980
- It's over, mate.
- What?

1078
01:05:33,080 --> 01:05:34,820
- I'm sorry.
- No, no, no.

1079
01:05:34,920 --> 01:05:36,820
Doug, you're too late, okay?

1080
01:05:38,120 --> 01:05:40,580
You guys keep going,
mate, I'll catch up.

1081
01:05:40,680 --> 01:05:42,580
Doug, Doug. Doug, listen to me.

1082
01:05:42,680 --> 01:05:44,525
- It's way too late. It's over.
- No, come on!

1083
01:05:44,600 --> 01:05:47,020
Listen to me, mate, I'm sorry,

1084
01:05:47,120 --> 01:05:49,540
but I gotta turn you around.

1085
01:05:49,640 --> 01:05:50,687
Okay?

1086
01:05:51,760 --> 01:05:53,285
I can do it.

1087
01:05:54,680 --> 01:05:57,490
It's right here, man. It's right here.

1088
01:05:58,600 --> 01:06:02,161
I'm not coming back next year,
man, it's my last chance.

1089
01:06:05,520 --> 01:06:07,522
You gotta let me do this.

1090
01:06:09,280 --> 01:06:10,850
Let me do this.

1091
01:06:11,640 --> 01:06:13,180
- Okay.
- Please, Rob.

1092
01:06:13,280 --> 01:06:14,460
Let's do it.

1093
01:06:14,560 --> 01:06:16,260
- Let's get it done.
- All right.

1094
01:06:16,360 --> 01:06:18,249
- Come on.
- Thanks, man.

1095
01:06:22,640 --> 01:06:24,165
Come on, Doug.

1096
01:06:44,520 --> 01:06:47,980
There ain't no hope of getting

1097
01:06:48,080 --> 01:06:51,880
My double-wide trailer

1098
01:06:55,160 --> 01:06:56,380
There ain't no...

1099
01:06:56,480 --> 01:06:57,606
Beck?

1100
01:06:58,360 --> 01:06:59,660
Are you okay?

1101
01:06:59,760 --> 01:07:00,940
Who is that?

1102
01:07:01,040 --> 01:07:02,041
It's Jon.

1103
01:07:02,720 --> 01:07:06,088
I'm not seeing too well, Jon.
I'm freezing.

1104
01:07:07,800 --> 01:07:09,580
Mike's just behind me.

1105
01:07:09,680 --> 01:07:11,940
He's back there with Yasuko.

1106
01:07:12,040 --> 01:07:14,805
You'll be okay. Mike's right behind me.

1107
01:07:14,920 --> 01:07:16,780
You're okay?

1108
01:07:16,880 --> 01:07:18,211
I'll see you down there.

1109
01:07:24,360 --> 01:07:26,060
There she is.

1110
01:07:26,160 --> 01:07:27,161
Ten more steps, mate.

1111
01:07:29,800 --> 01:07:32,020
Dig deep, Doug, dig deep.

1112
01:07:32,120 --> 01:07:33,565
There you go.

1113
01:07:45,040 --> 01:07:46,804
There ya go.

1114
01:07:53,280 --> 01:07:54,327
You made it!

1115
01:07:55,320 --> 01:07:56,321
Huh?

1116
01:08:00,320 --> 01:08:01,685
You did it!

1117
01:08:02,560 --> 01:08:05,086
Because of you, man.

1118
01:08:14,160 --> 01:08:16,447
Guy to Rob, you read me, mate?

1119
01:08:19,160 --> 01:08:21,208
Guy to Rob, are you there?

1120
01:08:23,960 --> 01:08:25,769
For the school kids.

1121
01:08:32,680 --> 01:08:35,160
Good on you, Doug. Come on.

1122
01:08:36,080 --> 01:08:37,100
Easy.

1123
01:08:37,200 --> 01:08:38,725
Here, I got it.

1124
01:08:45,280 --> 01:08:47,220
Come on, let's get you up.

1125
01:08:47,320 --> 01:08:48,340
Need more O.

1126
01:08:48,440 --> 01:08:49,445
No, Doug, we can't give you more O.

1127
01:08:49,520 --> 01:08:53,081
We gotta get down to
the South Summit, come on.

1128
01:08:57,400 --> 01:09:00,700
Guy Cotter to Everest Base Camp.
You there, Helen?

1129
01:09:00,800 --> 01:09:03,020
Guy, this is Helen, how's it going?

1130
01:09:03,120 --> 01:09:04,060
Yeah, fine.

1131
01:09:04,160 --> 01:09:07,580
I got a clear view of the summit
and we've still got climbers up there.

1132
01:09:07,680 --> 01:09:09,620
They're not any of ours, right?

1133
01:09:09,720 --> 01:09:12,140
We got three up,
and they're all on their way down.

1134
01:09:12,240 --> 01:09:13,805
Well, what are they doing there so late?

1135
01:09:13,880 --> 01:09:16,360
They had a 2:00 turnaround time,
they're way past it.

1136
01:09:17,240 --> 01:09:20,220
Yeah, we got cloud coming up
through the valley, it's a lot of it.

1137
01:09:20,320 --> 01:09:22,800
Thanks, I'm calling them now, Guy.

1138
01:09:26,240 --> 01:09:28,447
Rob, come in, this is Helen.

1139
01:09:30,480 --> 01:09:32,687
Rob, come in, this is Helen.

1140
01:09:41,080 --> 01:09:43,300
Easy, easy, easy, Dougie! There you go.

1141
01:09:43,400 --> 01:09:44,845
There you go.

1142
01:09:45,840 --> 01:09:48,207
Looking good. Round the corner.

1143
01:09:49,560 --> 01:09:50,846
That's it.

1144
01:09:53,720 --> 01:09:55,370
Rob, is that you?

1145
01:09:56,520 --> 01:09:57,601
Beck?

1146
01:09:58,440 --> 01:10:00,660
It's Mike, Beck.
What are you doing here?

1147
01:10:00,760 --> 01:10:02,500
I can't see, it's bad.

1148
01:10:02,600 --> 01:10:04,100
You guys all right?

1149
01:10:04,200 --> 01:10:05,645
We got a problem with Beck.

1150
01:10:05,760 --> 01:10:09,020
Hey, Mike, we're getting low on O.
We gotta move.

1151
01:10:09,120 --> 01:10:10,660
Gonna get you to stand up, okay?

1152
01:10:10,760 --> 01:10:11,780
I'll take Yasuko.

1153
01:10:11,880 --> 01:10:12,961
That's it.

1154
01:10:15,880 --> 01:10:17,166
I got you.

1155
01:10:18,480 --> 01:10:19,891
You're okay.

1156
01:10:22,200 --> 01:10:24,380
Doug, come on!

1157
01:10:24,480 --> 01:10:25,766
Come on!

1158
01:10:33,040 --> 01:10:34,280
I'm cold.

1159
01:10:39,880 --> 01:10:42,420
Mike, Harold, Ang Dorjee,
put the brakes on, guys,

1160
01:10:42,520 --> 01:10:44,124
we got a problem.

1161
01:10:45,920 --> 01:10:47,500
We're out of gas, Doug.

1162
01:10:47,600 --> 01:10:49,485
We're out of gas.
Need to keep moving, come on.

1163
01:10:49,560 --> 01:10:50,561
Come on!

1164
01:10:52,920 --> 01:10:55,810
Mike, Harold, do you copy?
I need someone...

1165
01:10:56,480 --> 01:10:59,689
I need someone to come back up
with oxygen, over.

1166
01:11:02,120 --> 01:11:04,600
Somebody, please, I'm begging you.

1167
01:11:05,640 --> 01:11:07,563
Doug, come on, mate, come on!

1168
01:11:09,320 --> 01:11:11,448
Harold, do you copy, over?

1169
01:11:13,280 --> 01:11:15,647
Has anyone got eyes on Ang Dorjee?

1170
01:11:16,840 --> 01:11:18,460
Mate, I've just had Ang Dorjee

1171
01:11:18,560 --> 01:11:20,380
go past me, heading down, over.

1172
01:11:20,480 --> 01:11:22,020
He's going down.

1173
01:11:22,120 --> 01:11:23,829
Can you stop him,
can you turn him around?

1174
01:11:23,920 --> 01:11:25,540
I need someone to come back up now.

1175
01:11:25,640 --> 01:11:27,688
Hey, Ang Dorjee!

1176
01:11:29,240 --> 01:11:30,241
Ang Dorjee!

1177
01:11:31,520 --> 01:11:33,568
Base Camp, do you copy, over?

1178
01:11:33,680 --> 01:11:35,700
Helen to Rob, go ahead.

1179
01:11:35,800 --> 01:11:39,809
Helen, please. I need a bottle of gas
at the top of the Hillary Step.

1180
01:11:40,480 --> 01:11:42,460
I can't get him down without it.

1181
01:11:42,560 --> 01:11:44,289
I'm really stuffed.

1182
01:11:45,200 --> 01:11:48,300
Understood that you
need a bottle of oxygen

1183
01:11:48,400 --> 01:11:49,940
at the bottom of the Hillary Step.

1184
01:11:50,040 --> 01:11:52,700
We are sending it up to you,
as soon as we can.

1185
01:11:52,800 --> 01:11:55,246
At the top, at the top.

1186
01:11:56,000 --> 01:11:57,860
The last thing I said to Ang Dorjee was

1187
01:11:57,960 --> 01:12:00,740
"Please, leave two bottles of gas
at the South Summit."

1188
01:12:00,840 --> 01:12:01,841
Yes.

1189
01:12:02,520 --> 01:12:03,980
Copy that, Rob.

1190
01:12:04,080 --> 01:12:08,460
Boys, there's oxygen
at the South Summit, right?

1191
01:12:08,560 --> 01:12:10,940
No, Rob, this is Harold.

1192
01:12:11,040 --> 01:12:15,568
There's no oxygen at South Summit.

1193
01:12:15,680 --> 01:12:17,330
Repeat, no O.

1194
01:12:18,840 --> 01:12:22,100
Ang Dorjee stashed
four bottles there, Harold.

1195
01:12:22,200 --> 01:12:23,361
Harold, where are you?

1196
01:12:26,520 --> 01:12:28,100
Can you hear me, Harold?

1197
01:12:28,200 --> 01:12:29,201
Harold!

1198
01:12:30,240 --> 01:12:32,020
Harold, can you hear me?

1199
01:12:32,120 --> 01:12:35,442
Think it'll take me about half an hour
to get back up to the South Summit.

1200
01:12:39,840 --> 01:12:42,286
Okay, I'm coming.

1201
01:12:44,600 --> 01:12:47,100
If you don't have oxygen, mate,
don't come up, don't come up.

1202
01:12:47,200 --> 01:12:48,140
We're moving on.

1203
01:12:48,240 --> 01:12:50,288
I'm coming up to you, Rob.

1204
01:12:51,280 --> 01:12:53,248
Doug, come on, mate, come on!

1205
01:12:57,960 --> 01:13:01,567
Rob, this is Base Camp.

1206
01:13:02,560 --> 01:13:04,500
I copy you, Caro.

1207
01:13:04,600 --> 01:13:06,887
Rob, can you get yourself down?

1208
01:13:08,560 --> 01:13:10,244
Caro, we're not at that point, yet.

1209
01:13:11,040 --> 01:13:13,168
Rob, can you let us
know who you're with?

1210
01:13:14,760 --> 01:13:16,220
I'm with Doug.

1211
01:13:16,320 --> 01:13:17,940
We're both listening.

1212
01:13:18,040 --> 01:13:20,660
Come on, Dougie, come on, mate.
One more effort, come on.

1213
01:13:20,760 --> 01:13:23,180
Rob, what is
Doug's state of consciousness?

1214
01:13:23,280 --> 01:13:24,500
He's really weak.

1215
01:13:24,600 --> 01:13:27,410
He collapsed after we ran out of oxygen.

1216
01:13:28,080 --> 01:13:31,926
Okay, give him eight milligrams
of dexamethasone.

1217
01:13:32,960 --> 01:13:35,300
That's two tablets, Rob.

1218
01:13:35,400 --> 01:13:36,401
Guy to Rob.

1219
01:13:37,840 --> 01:13:39,569
Go ahead, Guy, I got you, mate.

1220
01:13:39,680 --> 01:13:42,020
Rob, I suggest you get yourself down.

1221
01:13:42,120 --> 01:13:43,685
You know you're doing no good up there.

1222
01:13:43,760 --> 01:13:45,725
Now, we've got people that
we can send up to help Doug

1223
01:13:45,800 --> 01:13:48,371
but you've gotta get yourself
down, do you understand?

1224
01:13:48,480 --> 01:13:50,897
I mean, come on, man,
we're playing with a man's life here.

1225
01:13:51,640 --> 01:13:54,371
There's no way I'm leaving Doug behind.

1226
01:13:55,800 --> 01:13:57,980
We gotta keep moving, mate.

1227
01:13:58,080 --> 01:14:00,287
No, we gotta keep moving,
we're in some trouble.

1228
01:14:00,840 --> 01:14:02,820
Yeah, Helen's gonna need some help

1229
01:14:02,920 --> 01:14:05,820
so I'm gonna try and make
my way back. Okay?

1230
01:14:05,920 --> 01:14:07,763
All right. Go on.

1231
01:14:17,360 --> 01:14:18,940
Hey, Scott.

1232
01:14:19,040 --> 01:14:21,008
Scott! You okay?

1233
01:14:25,720 --> 01:14:26,881
Lopsang.

1234
01:14:27,640 --> 01:14:28,641
Lopsy!

1235
01:14:31,040 --> 01:14:32,485
I'm done, pal.

1236
01:14:34,320 --> 01:14:35,606
I'm done.

1237
01:14:37,960 --> 01:14:40,804
You go, send Anatoli...

1238
01:14:42,000 --> 01:14:44,401
Send Anatoli back with some O.

1239
01:14:46,680 --> 01:14:47,700
Okay.

1240
01:14:47,800 --> 01:14:49,580
- Go!
- Okay.

1241
01:14:49,680 --> 01:14:52,524
I will send back Anatoli.

1242
01:14:58,920 --> 01:15:00,900
- Let's go.
- You go down.

1243
01:15:01,000 --> 01:15:02,047
No, mate.

1244
01:15:02,800 --> 01:15:04,245
No, I'm not leaving you behind, Doug.

1245
01:15:04,320 --> 01:15:05,940
- Come on!
- Gotta rest.

1246
01:15:06,040 --> 01:15:07,980
No, Doug, come on,
you're coming with me!

1247
01:15:08,080 --> 01:15:10,082
I need 10 good minutes, Doug, come on!

1248
01:15:14,440 --> 01:15:16,420
Please, Dougie, come on, mate.

1249
01:15:16,520 --> 01:15:18,807
Ten minutes.
We'll get to the bottom of the Step.

1250
01:15:20,040 --> 01:15:21,300
Come on, this leg.

1251
01:15:21,400 --> 01:15:23,482
This leg, Dougie, come on!

1252
01:15:24,120 --> 01:15:25,406
Come on.

1253
01:15:26,120 --> 01:15:27,531
There we go.

1254
01:15:47,360 --> 01:15:48,361
Oh, no.

1255
01:15:48,920 --> 01:15:49,967
Oh, no.

1256
01:15:52,560 --> 01:15:55,723
Hold that down. Come on, come on!
Get those chairs!

1257
01:16:36,600 --> 01:16:38,980
No, no, no, no. Come on, Dougie!

1258
01:16:39,080 --> 01:16:41,128
Doug, let's go, hurry up!

1259
01:17:17,000 --> 01:17:20,620
Doug! I'm gonna go
to the South Summit to get oxygen.

1260
01:17:20,720 --> 01:17:24,260
Okay, mate? Gonna find oxygen.

1261
01:17:24,360 --> 01:17:26,460
But you've gotta stay here!

1262
01:17:26,560 --> 01:17:28,540
Okay? Stay here!

1263
01:17:28,640 --> 01:17:30,642
Don't move! I'll be back!

1264
01:17:55,560 --> 01:17:56,846
Hey, Rob.

1265
01:18:35,800 --> 01:18:40,260
Beck! Stop! That's the wrong way!

1266
01:18:40,360 --> 01:18:41,380
Stop!

1267
01:18:41,480 --> 01:18:43,687
Back! Turn back!

1268
01:19:00,960 --> 01:19:02,450
Beck, easy!

1269
01:19:13,520 --> 01:19:14,646
Rob!

1270
01:19:18,520 --> 01:19:19,726
Harold!

1271
01:19:20,400 --> 01:19:21,447
Harold!

1272
01:19:33,760 --> 01:19:34,966
Rob!

1273
01:19:37,640 --> 01:19:39,688
- Harold?
- I've got oxygen!

1274
01:19:40,320 --> 01:19:44,006
Here, I found some half-empty ones.

1275
01:19:45,720 --> 01:19:47,210
Where's Doug?

1276
01:19:48,840 --> 01:19:50,285
Doug's gone.

1277
01:19:51,720 --> 01:19:53,051
He's what?

1278
01:19:53,440 --> 01:19:54,487
Gone!

1279
01:20:12,680 --> 01:20:14,340
Camp Four's that way!

1280
01:20:14,440 --> 01:20:15,487
Get up!

1281
01:20:16,160 --> 01:20:17,491
Let's go!

1282
01:20:18,800 --> 01:20:21,485
Come on! Beck!

1283
01:20:30,000 --> 01:20:32,048
I'll get help!

1284
01:21:09,920 --> 01:21:11,126
Here!

1285
01:21:17,200 --> 01:21:18,565
- Toli!
- Where are the others?

1286
01:21:18,680 --> 01:21:19,681
They're still out there.

1287
01:21:27,720 --> 01:21:30,100
Jon! I need help!

1288
01:21:30,200 --> 01:21:31,201
What?

1289
01:21:31,320 --> 01:21:34,460
They're out there, I need help!

1290
01:21:34,560 --> 01:21:37,086
I can't see, Toli.

1291
01:21:37,200 --> 01:21:38,725
I'm snow-blind.

1292
01:21:39,560 --> 01:21:41,085
Beck, Doug.

1293
01:21:42,400 --> 01:21:43,740
They need help.

1294
01:21:43,840 --> 01:21:45,842
They're still outside...

1295
01:21:47,720 --> 01:21:50,405
I go find them! You stay here!

1296
01:22:05,400 --> 01:22:06,401
Good job.

1297
01:22:26,840 --> 01:22:29,660
Toli! Sandy needs O!

1298
01:22:29,760 --> 01:22:31,489
Sandy, here!

1299
01:22:34,480 --> 01:22:36,801
- Can you walk?
- I can't.

1300
01:22:38,600 --> 01:22:40,284
I'll come back!

1301
01:22:41,800 --> 01:22:42,961
I'll stay!

1302
01:22:49,560 --> 01:22:51,180
Here, give me that, come on.

1303
01:22:51,280 --> 01:22:53,020
It won't go, it's frozen!

1304
01:22:53,120 --> 01:22:54,485
Take this.

1305
01:22:55,680 --> 01:22:56,920
The glove.

1306
01:22:58,480 --> 01:22:59,811
I'm sorry.

1307
01:23:12,360 --> 01:23:13,885
Come on, mate.

1308
01:23:14,720 --> 01:23:15,960
Come on, Harold.

1309
01:23:18,480 --> 01:23:20,369
Thanks for coming back.

1310
01:23:41,600 --> 01:23:42,580
Hello, Base Camp.

1311
01:23:42,680 --> 01:23:43,940
Helen, it's Jan.

1312
01:23:44,040 --> 01:23:47,180
Why haven't I heard from you?
Why isn't anybody calling me?

1313
01:23:47,280 --> 01:23:50,762
They've been hit by a storm, Jan.
It's really bad.

1314
01:23:52,640 --> 01:23:53,846
Where is he?

1315
01:23:53,960 --> 01:23:55,883
We don't know, exactly, but

1316
01:23:56,520 --> 01:23:58,580
he was still on the summit at 4:00.

1317
01:23:58,680 --> 01:24:00,842
Oh, no. Can he get down?

1318
01:24:01,640 --> 01:24:03,722
Rob can, but Doug can't.

1319
01:24:05,240 --> 01:24:07,900
There's at least 13
people stranded up there

1320
01:24:08,000 --> 01:24:10,844
and, well, the storm is getting worse.

1321
01:24:15,400 --> 01:24:17,060
Get Ang Dorjee up there.

1322
01:24:17,160 --> 01:24:18,207
He'll bring them down.

1323
01:24:19,440 --> 01:24:21,325
- Helen, do you understand?
- Helen! Give me an update!

1324
01:24:21,400 --> 01:24:23,880
Get Ang Dorjee up there.

1325
01:24:24,640 --> 01:24:26,380
Jan, yeah, we will get him.

1326
01:24:26,480 --> 01:24:29,180
And I will call you,
the minute I hear from him.

1327
01:24:29,280 --> 01:24:30,780
As soon as I hear from him.

1328
01:24:30,880 --> 01:24:32,005
- Thanks, Helen.
- All right?

1329
01:24:32,080 --> 01:24:33,081
Okay.

1330
01:24:33,680 --> 01:24:35,325
- Where is he?
- Guy, I haven't heard from him.

1331
01:24:35,400 --> 01:24:36,420
Okay, I'll get him.

1332
01:24:36,520 --> 01:24:38,124
I've been trying.

1333
01:24:38,240 --> 01:24:40,220
- Guy...
- Just hang on, hang on.

1334
01:24:40,320 --> 01:24:42,460
Rob? It's Guy, where are you?

1335
01:24:42,560 --> 01:24:44,485
Guy, I've been doing that
for the last two hours.

1336
01:24:44,560 --> 01:24:46,562
All right. Rob, it's Guy.

1337
01:24:47,320 --> 01:24:49,049
- Just keep your energy, mate.
- Helen.

1338
01:24:49,800 --> 01:24:52,700
Once you catch a break,
you move, you know the drill.

1339
01:24:52,800 --> 01:24:55,700
We've got a stash of oxygen
on the South Col.

1340
01:24:55,800 --> 01:24:56,805
Whoever needs it can have it.

1341
01:24:56,880 --> 01:24:57,925
That's the way, thank you.

1342
01:24:58,000 --> 01:24:59,667
Mal's team are gonna
go up, they're gonna

1343
01:24:59,760 --> 01:25:01,660
mount a search as soon as they can.

1344
01:25:01,760 --> 01:25:04,620
Anyone who's going, we're gonna
leave at dawn, weather permitting.

1345
01:25:04,720 --> 01:25:06,860
- Of course, Helen. At dawn.
- That's great, David.

1346
01:25:06,960 --> 01:25:08,845
Go let Ed know what's going on,
I'll be right behind you.

1347
01:25:08,920 --> 01:25:11,140
Camp Four, come in.

1348
01:25:11,240 --> 01:25:13,260
Rob. Rob, can you hear me?

1349
01:25:13,360 --> 01:25:15,540
David Breashears has a stash of oxygen

1350
01:25:15,640 --> 01:25:17,881
at the South Col that we can use.

1351
01:25:19,080 --> 01:25:22,444
All right, mate, we're organizing
a team, we're coming to get you.

1352
01:25:41,200 --> 01:25:42,326
Hot.

1353
01:25:45,320 --> 01:25:46,685
Burning up.

1354
01:26:07,200 --> 01:26:08,440
No, no.

1355
01:26:10,080 --> 01:26:11,161
Yasuko.

1356
01:26:14,680 --> 01:26:15,886
Sandy?

1357
01:26:23,160 --> 01:26:24,491
Come on!

1358
01:27:19,760 --> 01:27:23,287
Rob, talk to me, please. Pick up.

1359
01:27:28,320 --> 01:27:30,209
Pick up, mate, please.

1360
01:27:58,040 --> 01:27:59,660
Is there any word on the others?

1361
01:27:59,760 --> 01:28:04,200
Anatoli managed to get three clients
back from the South Col last night,

1362
01:28:04,600 --> 01:28:07,140
but Beck and Yasuko are still out there.

1363
01:28:07,240 --> 01:28:10,490
They're trying to mount a search but
everyone who's been up there is exhausted.

1364
01:28:14,080 --> 01:28:15,730
Rob, is that you?

1365
01:28:16,640 --> 01:28:19,803
Rob, where are you?
We're sending people for you.

1366
01:28:20,760 --> 01:28:22,683
Rob, this is Base Camp.

1367
01:28:25,920 --> 01:28:27,980
I can't... I can't move...

1368
01:28:28,080 --> 01:28:30,811
I can't move anymore. Anymore.

1369
01:28:32,640 --> 01:28:34,365
Hey, mate. Yeah, I know.
I know, mate. I know.

1370
01:28:34,440 --> 01:28:36,540
But you gotta keep on moving.

1371
01:28:36,640 --> 01:28:38,380
My hands...

1372
01:28:38,480 --> 01:28:41,165
I can't feel my hands, they're frozen.

1373
01:28:44,320 --> 01:28:46,322
Gotta de-ice my mask.

1374
01:28:47,000 --> 01:28:49,460
I gotta de-ice my mask.

1375
01:28:49,560 --> 01:28:52,020
That's good. Yeah, you gotta get
that mask working. Yeah?

1376
01:28:52,120 --> 01:28:55,980
The sun's gonna come up and, you know,
you can get warmer, you can get moving.

1377
01:28:56,080 --> 01:28:57,900
- Guy.
- Yeah?

1378
01:28:58,000 --> 01:29:00,860
Guy. Harold was here.

1379
01:29:00,960 --> 01:29:02,060
Where's he gone?

1380
01:29:02,160 --> 01:29:04,401
Rob, is Doug with you?

1381
01:29:06,440 --> 01:29:07,900
Harold...

1382
01:29:08,000 --> 01:29:10,890
Doug... Doug's gone.

1383
01:29:13,120 --> 01:29:14,531
Harold's gone.

1384
01:29:18,360 --> 01:29:20,522
I'm gonna need a little help.

1385
01:29:22,040 --> 01:29:23,929
Okay, Rob, you gotta get yourself down.

1386
01:29:24,040 --> 01:29:25,849
Where are you?

1387
01:29:30,840 --> 01:29:32,001
Guy...

1388
01:29:32,480 --> 01:29:34,420
I'm in that little...

1389
01:29:34,520 --> 01:29:37,683
In that little dip just
below the South Summit.

1390
01:29:38,480 --> 01:29:39,780
All right. You can do this.

1391
01:29:39,880 --> 01:29:41,086
You just gotta, you know,

1392
01:29:41,200 --> 01:29:44,340
pull yourself up out of that dip
and slide the rest of the way.

1393
01:29:44,440 --> 01:29:46,740
Guy, send the boys.

1394
01:29:46,840 --> 01:29:48,285
Okay?

1395
01:29:48,400 --> 01:29:50,780
I'm gonna need a little help.

1396
01:29:50,880 --> 01:29:53,540
We've got some Sherpas
coming up there with tea, oxygen.

1397
01:29:53,640 --> 01:29:55,700
You just gotta come on down, mate.

1398
01:29:55,800 --> 01:29:57,564
Yeah? Come on down.

1399
01:29:59,560 --> 01:30:00,607
Rob.

1400
01:30:05,880 --> 01:30:07,780
Can you patch Jan through?

1401
01:30:07,880 --> 01:30:09,140
To Rob?

1402
01:30:09,240 --> 01:30:10,580
Patch her through, yeah?

1403
01:30:10,680 --> 01:30:12,340
Let's just try it. Let's just...

1404
01:30:12,440 --> 01:30:14,966
Put the sat phone next to the radio.

1405
01:30:16,160 --> 01:30:19,562
Yeah, if anyone can motivate him
to move, then Jan will.

1406
01:30:20,320 --> 01:30:22,060
Guy to Rob.

1407
01:30:22,160 --> 01:30:23,571
Guy to Rob.

1408
01:30:26,560 --> 01:30:28,688
Guy to Rob. Can you read me?

1409
01:30:34,040 --> 01:30:35,365
- We're just getting...
- Rob, are you there?

1410
01:30:35,440 --> 01:30:37,602
- We're getting him now.
- Here.

1411
01:30:39,400 --> 01:30:41,084
Rob, this is Helen.

1412
01:30:43,280 --> 01:30:44,361
Copy.

1413
01:30:45,040 --> 01:30:47,122
Rob, I've got Jan for you.

1414
01:30:49,680 --> 01:30:51,180
My Jan?

1415
01:30:51,280 --> 01:30:52,260
Yeah, she's just here.

1416
01:30:52,360 --> 01:30:53,660
Jan, you're on.

1417
01:30:53,760 --> 01:30:54,921
Okay.

1418
01:30:55,920 --> 01:30:58,321
Hi, sweetheart, how are you doing?

1419
01:31:01,800 --> 01:31:03,300
Hi, my love.

1420
01:31:03,400 --> 01:31:04,401
I'm a bit...

1421
01:31:04,920 --> 01:31:06,251
A bit cold

1422
01:31:07,400 --> 01:31:09,180
but I'm okay.

1423
01:31:09,280 --> 01:31:10,980
I know you are.

1424
01:31:11,080 --> 01:31:13,287
But the sun'll warm you soon.

1425
01:31:14,160 --> 01:31:15,207
Sweetheart?

1426
01:31:15,960 --> 01:31:17,883
You've gotta get moving.

1427
01:31:18,440 --> 01:31:20,966
You've gotta come on down.

1428
01:31:21,720 --> 01:31:23,165
My hands

1429
01:31:26,120 --> 01:31:27,485
are frozen.

1430
01:31:30,800 --> 01:31:32,609
My feet are frozen.

1431
01:31:33,960 --> 01:31:37,260
We're sending people
up to you with tea and O's.

1432
01:31:37,360 --> 01:31:40,569
But you've gotta get moving.
Rob? Can you hear me?

1433
01:31:41,160 --> 01:31:43,460
You've gotta get your circulation going.

1434
01:31:43,560 --> 01:31:45,130
Okay, my love.

1435
01:31:45,840 --> 01:31:48,844
You do it... You do it right now.

1436
01:31:51,400 --> 01:31:52,811
I love you.

1437
01:31:54,120 --> 01:31:55,406
Over and out.

1438
01:32:05,840 --> 01:32:07,524
Come on, Rob.

1439
01:32:57,640 --> 01:32:59,449
We can't carry them.

1440
01:33:01,080 --> 01:33:02,860
It's not possible.

1441
01:33:02,960 --> 01:33:03,961
It's gonna...

1442
01:33:06,200 --> 01:33:08,140
It's gonna take all we got

1443
01:33:08,240 --> 01:33:10,322
just to get ourselves down.

1444
01:33:12,560 --> 01:33:14,403
I don't wanna die, man.

1445
01:33:18,960 --> 01:33:21,486
Helen, it's Mike here. Do you copy?

1446
01:33:22,720 --> 01:33:24,340
Come in, Mike. What do you got?

1447
01:33:24,440 --> 01:33:27,300
Yasuko and Beck

1448
01:33:27,400 --> 01:33:29,607
did not make it back to camp.

1449
01:33:34,440 --> 01:33:37,728
Okay, Mike. Thanks for letting us know.

1450
01:34:11,800 --> 01:34:13,086
Meg?

1451
01:34:16,000 --> 01:34:17,126
Bub?

1452
01:34:50,040 --> 01:34:51,724
Helen Base Camp. Helen Base Camp.

1453
01:34:52,600 --> 01:34:54,204
Helen Base Camp.

1454
01:34:55,320 --> 01:34:57,100
Ang Dorjee, this is Helen.

1455
01:34:57,200 --> 01:34:58,804
We have to turn back!

1456
01:34:59,440 --> 01:35:01,522
There is a very bad storm again.

1457
01:35:03,360 --> 01:35:05,340
- Your call, Ang Dorjee.
- Sorry.

1458
01:35:05,440 --> 01:35:08,380
We'll try to again
when the storm's passed.

1459
01:35:08,480 --> 01:35:11,768
We'll leave some tea
and oxygen here. Sorry.

1460
01:35:18,960 --> 01:35:21,088
We have to tell Rob they're not coming.

1461
01:35:22,840 --> 01:35:24,205
Okay.

1462
01:35:33,360 --> 01:35:34,460
Hey, Rob, it's Guy, mate.

1463
01:35:34,560 --> 01:35:35,846
Guy.

1464
01:35:37,800 --> 01:35:40,610
Can't stop shaking, mate.

1465
01:35:41,840 --> 01:35:44,764
The boys have hit a bit of high wind.

1466
01:35:44,880 --> 01:35:47,804
And your best shot is
gonna be to get lower.

1467
01:35:50,560 --> 01:35:52,369
Let me think about it.

1468
01:35:55,000 --> 01:35:57,844
I think I can hang
out here another night.

1469
01:36:03,240 --> 01:36:05,720
We'll try again first thing, okay?

1470
01:37:14,480 --> 01:37:17,006
- Helen?
- Yeah.

1471
01:37:17,680 --> 01:37:19,728
Yeah, he's still there.

1472
01:37:20,720 --> 01:37:23,166
He's just below the South Summit.

1473
01:37:23,840 --> 01:37:28,420
He's got oxygen, but it's iced up.

1474
01:37:28,520 --> 01:37:31,603
We don't know whether
he's been able to free it.

1475
01:37:33,800 --> 01:37:35,740
Is anybody with him?

1476
01:37:35,840 --> 01:37:37,285
No.

1477
01:37:37,840 --> 01:37:39,126
No.

1478
01:37:40,000 --> 01:37:41,165
You have to get him down before dark.

1479
01:37:41,240 --> 01:37:43,340
He won't survive another night.

1480
01:37:43,440 --> 01:37:44,680
We know.

1481
01:37:46,200 --> 01:37:49,124
But the storm's come back, real bad.

1482
01:37:50,640 --> 01:37:53,500
We can't get anyone up to him tonight.

1483
01:37:53,600 --> 01:37:54,886
We tried.

1484
01:37:58,720 --> 01:38:01,041
He might as well be on the moon.

1485
01:38:07,040 --> 01:38:09,460
Can you put me on with him again?

1486
01:38:09,560 --> 01:38:10,891
Of course.

1487
01:38:14,200 --> 01:38:16,248
Guy, get Rob.

1488
01:38:20,680 --> 01:38:22,250
Hey, Rob, it's Guy.

1489
01:38:23,720 --> 01:38:25,688
I've got Jan for you.

1490
01:38:26,400 --> 01:38:30,086
Hold on. Give me a sec.

1491
01:38:44,760 --> 01:38:45,886
Okay.

1492
01:38:54,880 --> 01:38:56,450
Hi, sweetheart.

1493
01:38:57,840 --> 01:38:59,444
How are you?

1494
01:39:02,200 --> 01:39:04,521
I'm thinking about you.

1495
01:39:08,440 --> 01:39:10,090
You sound good.

1496
01:39:12,760 --> 01:39:14,603
Are you warm, my love?

1497
01:39:15,680 --> 01:39:18,047
I might have a little frostbite.

1498
01:39:20,400 --> 01:39:23,324
I'm looking forward
to making it all better.

1499
01:39:26,280 --> 01:39:28,442
I can't wait for you to come home.

1500
01:39:31,800 --> 01:39:33,165
How's Sarah?

1501
01:39:34,120 --> 01:39:35,485
Sarah?

1502
01:39:36,400 --> 01:39:37,765
Yeah.

1503
01:39:39,440 --> 01:39:41,329
Yeah, Sarah's good.

1504
01:39:43,160 --> 01:39:45,766
Will you call her that for me?

1505
01:39:46,160 --> 01:39:47,889
Yes, I will.

1506
01:39:50,640 --> 01:39:53,644
I don't think I'm gonna get to meet her.

1507
01:39:57,240 --> 01:39:59,083
I'm so sorry.

1508
01:40:03,920 --> 01:40:05,490
Don't say that.

1509
01:40:07,840 --> 01:40:10,140
If anyone can make it, you can.

1510
01:40:10,240 --> 01:40:11,765
Remember?

1511
01:40:16,080 --> 01:40:17,525
I love you.

1512
01:40:19,320 --> 01:40:21,846
Please don't worry too much.

1513
01:40:28,200 --> 01:40:30,248
Good night, my love.

1514
01:40:43,960 --> 01:40:45,883
I love you, Rob.

1515
01:40:50,040 --> 01:40:51,565
I love you.

1516
01:44:15,560 --> 01:44:17,085
Beck?

1517
01:44:20,240 --> 01:44:22,163
Helen, it's Mike here.

1518
01:44:22,760 --> 01:44:24,524
Helen, do you copy?

1519
01:44:25,080 --> 01:44:26,660
Mike, come in.

1520
01:44:26,760 --> 01:44:28,500
Beck's still alive.

1521
01:44:28,600 --> 01:44:30,740
He walked himself into camp.

1522
01:44:30,840 --> 01:44:35,242
David Breashears and the IMAX team
are gonna get him down to Camp One.

1523
01:44:37,680 --> 01:44:39,170
Thanks, Mike.

1524
01:44:43,160 --> 01:44:46,482
We don't even know how, but he is alive.

1525
01:44:47,480 --> 01:44:51,060
The thing is, Peach,
we can't get him down the Icefall.

1526
01:44:51,160 --> 01:44:52,420
Oh, no, I'll get him down.

1527
01:44:52,520 --> 01:44:54,700
I'll get him down. Okay.

1528
01:44:54,800 --> 01:44:57,700
Okay, what do we need?
We need a helicopter, right?

1529
01:44:57,800 --> 01:45:00,540
Yeah, but they can't take
a helicopter up that high

1530
01:45:00,640 --> 01:45:02,324
because the air is too thin.

1531
01:45:02,880 --> 01:45:05,700
We should try,
but it is one heck of a risk.

1532
01:45:05,800 --> 01:45:07,540
And he's not in a good way, Peach,

1533
01:45:07,640 --> 01:45:09,847
so I don't want you to get
your hopes up too high.

1534
01:45:15,480 --> 01:45:17,209
One step at a time.

1535
01:45:20,520 --> 01:45:21,725
- You gotta keep moving.
- Tired.

1536
01:45:21,800 --> 01:45:22,881
- I know.
- I'm tired.

1537
01:45:23,000 --> 01:45:25,002
I know you are. Come on.

1538
01:45:27,320 --> 01:45:28,970
Slow and steady.

1539
01:45:30,640 --> 01:45:32,980
Come on, keep moving.

1540
01:45:33,080 --> 01:45:34,540
Yes, I'd like the number

1541
01:45:34,640 --> 01:45:37,325
of the American Embassy
in Kathmandu, Nepal.

1542
01:45:37,960 --> 01:45:40,220
- Yes, Nepal.
- Ambassador, please.

1543
01:45:40,320 --> 01:45:41,740
No, sweets, I can't hold.

1544
01:45:41,840 --> 01:45:44,260
No, you listen, sir,
my husband's already died once

1545
01:45:44,360 --> 01:45:45,740
as you'll have seen the news.

1546
01:45:45,840 --> 01:45:49,727
Trust me, having him die a second time
is not gonna play well on CNN.

1547
01:45:50,360 --> 01:45:52,089
There we go, buddy.

1548
01:45:53,160 --> 01:45:55,083
That's it, all right.

1549
01:46:00,320 --> 01:46:01,300
Mike.

1550
01:46:03,480 --> 01:46:04,540
How you doing?

1551
01:46:04,640 --> 01:46:06,722
Oh, you know, fair to middling.

1552
01:46:07,640 --> 01:46:09,051
Warming up?

1553
01:46:10,040 --> 01:46:11,690
I'm not sure yet.

1554
01:46:12,400 --> 01:46:14,880
Look like you are, a little bit.

1555
01:46:16,880 --> 01:46:18,723
How's Rob doing?

1556
01:46:21,680 --> 01:46:23,967
Rob's still up there right now.

1557
01:46:26,520 --> 01:46:28,568
And Doug? What's he up to?

1558
01:46:33,680 --> 01:46:35,569
Doug's gone, Beck.

1559
01:46:51,520 --> 01:46:54,205
I don't know, no one's ever tried
to fly higher than Base Camp before,

1560
01:46:54,280 --> 01:46:56,060
they're gonna give it a go.

1561
01:46:56,160 --> 01:46:58,700
You find an LZ, just mark it out
with whatever you can.

1562
01:46:58,800 --> 01:47:01,260
Okay, worth a try. Thanks, Guy.

1563
01:47:01,360 --> 01:47:02,780
- Yeah?
- Grab a Gatorade.

1564
01:47:02,880 --> 01:47:05,140
Got a chopper coming in,
we need to make an LZ.

1565
01:47:05,240 --> 01:47:07,402
We got a chopper coming in!

1566
01:47:08,760 --> 01:47:10,603
Clear everyone back to the tents!

1567
01:47:11,400 --> 01:47:12,322
Thanks.

1568
01:47:12,440 --> 01:47:14,249
Keep it clear,
keep this whole area clear.

1569
01:47:14,360 --> 01:47:15,340
Back away.

1570
01:47:15,440 --> 01:47:17,408
Come on, come on.

1571
01:47:22,160 --> 01:47:23,605
Army 45, keep updating.

1572
01:47:24,280 --> 01:47:26,487
Lukla Tower, we're doing fine.

1573
01:47:32,080 --> 01:47:34,162
It's not possible!

1574
01:47:34,440 --> 01:47:36,488
You land here, we'll never get back up.

1575
01:47:41,800 --> 01:47:43,220
Gonna kill us!

1576
01:47:43,320 --> 01:47:45,129
Okay, Major, let's go back.

1577
01:48:03,920 --> 01:48:04,860
That's it!

1578
01:48:04,960 --> 01:48:07,544
We can't get any more out.
It's as light as we're gonna get it!

1579
01:48:07,640 --> 01:48:09,340
Time to go then, Major.

1580
01:48:23,360 --> 01:48:25,328
Right here, right here!

1581
01:48:27,680 --> 01:48:29,569
Come on! You can do it!

1582
01:48:58,600 --> 01:49:01,206
Come on, buddy. You're nearly there.

1583
01:49:04,560 --> 01:49:06,130
Okay, come on.

1584
01:49:09,120 --> 01:49:10,740
One person. Only one person.

1585
01:49:10,840 --> 01:49:13,660
Yeah, it's just him, just one! There.

1586
01:49:13,760 --> 01:49:15,205
There you go.

1587
01:49:18,440 --> 01:49:19,851
You're good!

1588
01:49:20,440 --> 01:49:23,620
I'm going to lift the tail up,
to fly us over the edge.

1589
01:49:23,720 --> 01:49:25,900
Fall a bit, until
the blades catch on the air.

1590
01:49:26,000 --> 01:49:27,180
Is that okay with you?

1591
01:49:27,280 --> 01:49:29,282
- I'm with you.
- Good man.

1592
01:50:48,800 --> 01:50:51,770
Get yourself inside, go on.

1593
01:50:54,920 --> 01:50:56,160
Oh, Anatoli.

1594
01:51:02,520 --> 01:51:05,340
I'm so sorry, Helen.

1595
01:51:05,440 --> 01:51:07,647
Come on, let's get you inside.

1596
01:51:29,520 --> 01:51:30,851
Hi, Peachy.

1597
01:51:35,840 --> 01:51:37,046
Hey.

1598
01:51:50,000 --> 01:51:52,526
Thank you so much, darling.
