- 00:01:47,971 --> 00:01:49,869
- Can you just listen up?
- 2
- 00:01:50,531 --> 00:01:51,666
- Guys?
- 3
- 00:01:53,011 --> 00:01:56,945
- We got 2,000 feet,
- 600 vertical meters
- 4
- 00:01:57,491 --> 00:01:58,990
- to Camp Four.
- 5
- 00:01:59,611 --> 00:02:03,591
- It's roped all the way,
- so I know you can make it.
- 6
- 00:02:04,211 --> 00:02:05,451
- Once we get to the yellow band,
- 7
- 00:02:05,571 --> 00:02:06,780
- we're gonna regroup,
- 8
- 00:02:07,371 --> 00:02:09,931
- put on the masks,
- turn on the gas.
- 9
- 00:02:10,131 --> 00:02:11,790
- Make sense?
- 10
- 00:03:03,771 --> 00:03:06,131
- 325 dollars a bottle.
- 11
- 00:03:06,331 --> 00:03:07,331
- For oxygen?
- 12
- 00:03:07,411 --> 00:03:08,451
- That's daylight robbery!
- 13
- 00:03:08,651 --> 00:03:10,851
- Yeah, well, he's
- cornered the market, he's got it.
- 14
- 00:03:11,051 --> 00:03:13,891
- He reckons there's gonna be
- 20 teams at Base Camp this season.
- 15
- 00:03:14,091 --> 00:03:15,091
- Twenty teams?
- 16
- 00:03:15,131 --> 00:03:16,587
- I mean, with all
- the Sherpas and porters,
- 17
- 00:03:16,611 --> 00:03:19,021
- it's gonna be
- a squeeze up there.
- 18
- 00:03:19,491 --> 00:03:21,971
- Well, that's a scrum on
- the ropes, right there.
- 19
- 00:03:22,171 --> 00:03:24,171
- What is this?
- It's Helen's.
- 20
- 00:03:24,371 --> 00:03:26,331
- It's a little
- decoration for the mess tent.
- 21
- 00:03:26,531 --> 00:03:27,587
- You can wear them in your hair.
- 22
- 00:03:27,611 --> 00:03:28,611
- I'll have that.
- Thank you.
- 23
- 00:03:28,731 --> 00:03:30,583
- Okay, I got some news.
- 24
- 00:03:31,171 --> 00:03:32,931
- We got Krakauer.
- 25
- 00:03:33,131 --> 00:03:34,851
- You stole him
- from Scott Fischer?
- 26
- 00:03:35,051 --> 00:03:36,291
- No, he made up his own mind.
- 27
- 00:03:36,491 --> 00:03:37,911
- Good job, Rob!
- 28
- 00:03:38,531 --> 00:03:40,771
- How much is he paying you, Rob?
- 29
- 00:03:40,971 --> 00:03:43,211
- Well, he's only
- paying for his airfare
- 30
- 00:03:43,411 --> 00:03:46,291
- but we get 5,000
- words in the magazine
- 31
- 00:03:46,491 --> 00:03:48,171
- and our picture on
- the front cover. Huh?
- 32
- 00:03:48,371 --> 00:03:50,851
- That makes it all worthwhile.
- Right there.
- 33
- 00:03:51,051 --> 00:03:52,331
- Well, if you get him to the top.
- 34
- 00:03:52,451 --> 00:03:53,531
- If?
- 35
- 00:03:53,731 --> 00:03:55,331
- If? How can you
- say that to me?
- 36
- 00:03:55,531 --> 00:03:56,611
- There you go.
- You all right?
- 37
- 00:03:56,731 --> 00:03:58,211
- Thanks, Guy.
- Cheers, mate.
- 38
- 00:03:58,411 --> 00:04:00,024
- Hey!
- Hello!
- 39
- 00:04:01,411 --> 00:04:03,171
- You all right?
- Oh, yeah, how are you?
- 40
- 00:04:03,371 --> 00:04:04,651
- Me? I'm good.
- Oh, look at you!
- 41
- 00:04:04,851 --> 00:04:06,651
- I know, I'm big.
- 42
- 00:04:06,851 --> 00:04:08,651
- Here you go.
- You good?
- 43
- 00:04:08,851 --> 00:04:10,611
- Yeah, you know,
- I'm just gonna miss you.
- 44
- 00:04:10,811 --> 00:04:12,026
- Come on.
- 45
- 00:04:14,891 --> 00:04:16,743
- - Let's go, Guy.
- Mmm-hmm.
- 46
- 00:04:17,251 --> 00:04:19,811
- Just go careful, all right?
- 47
- 00:04:20,011 --> 00:04:21,510
- It's...
- Please, my love.
- 48
- 00:04:22,011 --> 00:04:23,771
- Come on.
- Please don't worry.
- 49
- 00:04:23,971 --> 00:04:25,691
- It's just the doing
- nothing back here
- 50
- 00:04:25,891 --> 00:04:27,131
- that's making me worry.
- 51
- 00:04:27,331 --> 00:04:28,331
- You're not doing nothing.
- 52
- 00:04:28,411 --> 00:04:29,571
- No, but...
- 53
- 00:04:29,771 --> 00:04:30,906
- What?
- 54
- 00:04:31,451 --> 00:04:33,303
- It's the waiting for you.
- 55
- 00:04:33,851 --> 00:04:35,931
- For him.
- Her.
- 56
- 00:04:36,131 --> 00:04:37,585
- Her.
- Her.
- 57
- 00:04:40,371 --> 00:04:43,065
- Just be back for
- the birth, Rob Hall.
- 58
- 00:04:44,451 --> 00:04:46,224
- You try and stop me.
- 59
- 00:04:46,651 --> 00:04:47,931
- This is a final call
- 60
- 00:04:48,131 --> 00:04:51,011
- for Air New Zealand
- Flight 7419 to Kathmandu.
- 61
- 00:04:51,211 --> 00:04:53,331
- Okay, I love you.
- Go, or I'll cry.
- 62
- 00:04:53,531 --> 00:04:54,780
- Go.
- 63
- 00:05:19,131 --> 00:05:20,266
- Yeah.
- 64
- 00:05:20,771 --> 00:05:21,811
- That all you got?
- 65
- 00:05:22,011 --> 00:05:23,306
- Yeah, that's it.
- 66
- 00:05:23,771 --> 00:05:25,748
- I think we're over here.
- 67
- 00:05:34,091 --> 00:05:36,291
- Hey, what outfit you guys with?
- 68
- 00:05:36,491 --> 00:05:37,531
- Uh, Adventure Consultants.
- 69
- 00:05:37,611 --> 00:05:38,611
- Ah, good. Me too.
- 70
- 00:05:38,771 --> 00:05:39,771
- Ah.
- I'm Beck.
- 71
- 00:05:39,971 --> 00:05:41,823
- Beck Weathers.
- Doug Hansen.
- 72
- 00:05:42,331 --> 00:05:43,891
- Jon Krakauer.
- How you doing?
- 73
- 00:05:44,091 --> 00:05:45,491
- Good.
- Are you, uh...
- 74
- 00:05:45,691 --> 00:05:48,291
- Krakauer from Outside magazine?
- Yep.
- 75
- 00:05:48,491 --> 00:05:49,491
- Really?
- 76
- 00:05:49,651 --> 00:05:51,611
- What are you doing?
- Writing or climbing or what?
- 77
- 00:05:51,811 --> 00:05:53,851
- Little bit of both.
- Hmm.
- 78
- 00:05:54,051 --> 00:05:56,491
- Well, I'll let you know
- how the summit goes, okay?
- 79
- 00:05:56,691 --> 00:05:58,331
- No need.
- I'll be there.
- 80
- 00:05:58,531 --> 00:05:59,871
- Ah, we'll see.
- 81
- 00:06:15,691 --> 00:06:17,851
- What do you do when
- you're not climbing, Doug?
- 82
- 00:06:18,051 --> 00:06:19,949
- What, for work?
- Yeah.
- 83
- 00:06:20,251 --> 00:06:22,651
- Uh, different things.
- Carpenter, mailman.
- 84
- 00:06:22,851 --> 00:06:24,611
- Carpenter, mailman?
- 85
- 00:06:24,811 --> 00:06:25,811
- Yep.
- 86
- 00:06:25,891 --> 00:06:27,171
- Seriously, you deliver the mail?
- 87
- 00:06:27,291 --> 00:06:28,825
- Yeah, I deliver the mail.
- 88
- 00:06:30,491 --> 00:06:31,771
- Mailman on Everest?
- 89
- 00:06:31,971 --> 00:06:33,371
- Hope so.
- 90
- 00:06:33,571 --> 00:06:35,491
- I like that.
- 91
- 00:06:35,691 --> 00:06:37,464
- Mailman on Everest.
- 92
- 00:06:45,771 --> 00:06:46,771
- There we go.
- 93
- 00:06:46,851 --> 00:06:48,051
- - Beck.
- - Yeah?
- 94
- 00:06:48,251 --> 00:06:50,627
- You know he made it to the
- South Summit on Everest last year?
- 95
- 00:06:50,651 --> 00:06:52,611
- Who, Doug did?
- Yeah.
- 96
- 00:06:52,811 --> 00:06:54,771
- That's pretty
- high for a mailman.
- 97
- 00:06:54,971 --> 00:06:58,427
- Yep. Longs Peak, McKinley.
- 98
- 00:06:58,971 --> 00:07:01,571
- I never made it up to
- the top of McKinley myself.
- 99
- 00:07:01,771 --> 00:07:03,691
- I know.
- Well, how do you know that?
- 100
- 00:07:03,891 --> 00:07:05,265
- '89, right?
- 101
- 00:07:05,771 --> 00:07:07,051
- Oh!
- 102
- 00:07:07,251 --> 00:07:08,651
- You've done your research.
- 103
- 00:07:08,851 --> 00:07:10,510
- That's what we do.
- 104
- 00:07:18,371 --> 00:07:21,691
- You, my friends, are following
- in some very famous footsteps.
- 105
- 00:07:21,891 --> 00:07:23,851
- A history made
- famous by George Everest,
- 106
- 00:07:24,051 --> 00:07:26,851
- George Mallory,
- Tenzing Norgay,
- Edmund Hillary.
- 107
- 00:07:27,051 --> 00:07:28,550
- And Rob Hall!
- 108
- 00:07:31,891 --> 00:07:33,390
- Legends all of them!
- 109
- 00:07:34,651 --> 00:07:36,150
- That's right.
- 110
- 00:07:36,891 --> 00:07:38,611
- For those of you who
- dare face their dreams,
- 111
- 00:07:38,691 --> 00:07:40,027
- Adventure Consultants
- offers something
- 112
- 00:07:40,051 --> 00:07:43,011
- beyond the power of
- words to describe.
- 113
- 00:07:43,211 --> 00:07:46,588
- And why don't we describe it
- in the brochure?
- 114
- 00:07:47,291 --> 00:07:49,171
- Because it's mostly just pain.
- 115
- 00:07:49,371 --> 00:07:50,771
- - Yes.
- - Ain't that the truth?
- 116
- 00:07:50,971 --> 00:07:52,691
- And the odd,
- if you don't mind, Mike,
- 117
- 00:07:52,891 --> 00:07:54,902
- and the odd missing toe.
- 118
- 00:07:56,411 --> 00:07:57,546
- There we go.
- 119
- 00:07:59,411 --> 00:08:01,331
- To put it simply,
- guys, human beings
- 120
- 00:08:01,531 --> 00:08:03,571
- simply aren't built to function
- 121
- 00:08:03,771 --> 00:08:07,421
- at the cruising
- altitude of a 747.
- 122
- 00:08:07,851 --> 00:08:11,011
- Okay, once we get above here,
- above the South Col
- 123
- 00:08:11,211 --> 00:08:12,547
- our bodies will be
- literally dying.
- 124
- 00:08:12,571 --> 00:08:14,411
- And I mean literally dying.
- 125
- 00:08:14,611 --> 00:08:16,531
- It's not called the Death Zone
- for nothing, guys.
- 126
- 00:08:16,611 --> 00:08:17,621
- So the game is,
- 127
- 00:08:17,971 --> 00:08:21,891
- can we get you up to the top
- and down to the bottom
- 128
- 00:08:22,091 --> 00:08:23,331
- before that happens?
- 129
- 00:08:23,531 --> 00:08:25,211
- - You sure can.
- - Oh!
- 130
- 00:08:25,411 --> 00:08:27,131
- Beck Weathers,
- ladies and gentlemen.
- 131
- 00:08:27,331 --> 00:08:29,611
- You might have noticed
- a bit of the Lone Star State?
- 132
- 00:08:29,811 --> 00:08:31,251
- 100% Texan right here, people.
- 133
- 00:08:31,451 --> 00:08:33,462
- 100% Texan.
- 134
- 00:08:34,411 --> 00:08:36,263
- You've met Mike Groom.
- 135
- 00:08:36,771 --> 00:08:38,571
- I'd like to introduce you
- to Andy Harris.
- 136
- 00:08:38,771 --> 00:08:40,427
- - Harold.
- - Our other guide out of Queenstown.
- 137
- 00:08:40,451 --> 00:08:42,411
- Taranaki, actually,
- originally. Kia ora.
- 138
- 00:08:42,611 --> 00:08:45,267
- Helen and the rest of the team
- are already on the way up to Base Camp.
- 139
- 00:08:45,291 --> 00:08:47,371
- They're setting it up
- for when we get there.
- 140
- 00:08:47,571 --> 00:08:48,891
- Today's March 30, people.
- 141
- 00:08:49,091 --> 00:08:50,971
- I plan on going for
- the summit May 10.
- 142
- 00:08:51,171 --> 00:08:53,571
- It's been a lucky day for me
- and Adventure Consultants
- 143
- 00:08:53,771 --> 00:08:56,051
- and the weather's usually
- pretty stable around then.
- 144
- 00:08:56,251 --> 00:08:57,291
- So that means,
- 145
- 00:08:57,491 --> 00:09:00,931
- we have 40 days to train
- your bodies and your minds
- 146
- 00:09:01,131 --> 00:09:02,291
- to go for it.
- 147
- 00:09:02,491 --> 00:09:05,451
- Now, I know there's a lot of
- mountaineering experience in this room.
- 148
- 00:09:05,651 --> 00:09:06,931
- You wouldn't be here without it.
- 149
- 00:09:07,091 --> 00:09:09,931
- Stu, K2, Broad Peak.
- 150
- 00:09:10,131 --> 00:09:11,131
- John Taske.
- 151
- 00:09:11,171 --> 00:09:13,706
- 1,192 meters of
- Mount Kosciuszko.
- 152
- 00:09:15,131 --> 00:09:17,571
- And... I mean,
- Yasuko Namba.
- 153
- 00:09:17,771 --> 00:09:20,131
- Six of the Seven Summits
- and the only woman.
- 154
- 00:09:20,331 --> 00:09:21,331
- There you go.
- 155
- 00:09:21,371 --> 00:09:22,771
- Let's make it seven.
- Thank you.
- 156
- 00:09:22,971 --> 00:09:26,411
- But Everest, though, is another beast,
- another beast altogether.
- 157
- 00:09:26,611 --> 00:09:28,467
- That's why you're here,
- isn't that right, Dougie?
- 158
- 00:09:28,491 --> 00:09:30,901
- Oh, yeah. Yeah.
- 159
- 00:09:31,571 --> 00:09:34,611
- So, listen. Tonight, that's it from me.
- Eat, drink, be merry.
- 160
- 00:09:34,811 --> 00:09:36,185
- Tomorrow, we trek.
- 161
- 00:09:38,851 --> 00:09:40,828
- We good?
- You ready for this?
- 162
- 00:09:42,651 --> 00:09:44,025
- Dougie.
- 163
- 00:09:44,891 --> 00:09:46,651
- All right, folks, hang on.
- 164
- 00:09:46,851 --> 00:09:47,851
- Okay.
- 165
- 00:09:47,931 --> 00:09:49,171
- That's it, here we go, Colonel.
- 166
- 00:09:49,251 --> 00:09:50,491
- All right, everybody, earbuds.
- 167
- 00:09:50,691 --> 00:09:52,571
- Take your seats,
- buckle in, everyone.
- 168
- 00:09:52,771 --> 00:09:53,781
- Thanks, Mike.
- 169
- 00:09:54,691 --> 00:09:56,491
- Do or die.
- Here we go.
- 170
- 00:09:56,691 --> 00:09:57,861
- Okay.
- 171
- 00:09:59,131 --> 00:10:00,211
- Can you believe it?
- 172
- 00:10:00,411 --> 00:10:03,629
- Bravo 270 en route,
- request Bravo 410.
- 173
- 00:10:33,771 --> 00:10:34,931
- Keep 'em all in a nice group.
- 174
- 00:10:35,051 --> 00:10:36,186
- Hey, guys, take it easy.
- 175
- 00:10:37,411 --> 00:10:38,771
- - Yes, I'm ready.
- - Ready.
- 176
- 00:10:38,971 --> 00:10:40,571
- We're kicking it off, let's go.
- 177
- 00:10:40,771 --> 00:10:42,623
- You lead the way, pal.
- 178
- 00:10:43,451 --> 00:10:44,571
- You all right?
- 179
- 00:10:44,771 --> 00:10:45,906
- Yes.
- 180
- 00:11:20,131 --> 00:11:22,251
- Guys, man wants to
- see your climbing permits.
- 181
- 00:11:22,451 --> 00:11:24,451
- Need to see all your
- climbing permits!
- 182
- 00:11:24,651 --> 00:11:26,731
- Namaste.
- 183
- 00:11:26,931 --> 00:11:28,587
- Thank you very much,
- we'll see you on the way back.
- 184
- 00:11:28,611 --> 00:11:30,171
- Thank you very much.
- 185
- 00:11:30,371 --> 00:11:32,411
- All good?
- Yeah, yeah.
- Yeah, you?
- 186
- 00:11:32,611 --> 00:11:34,190
- Yeah.
- Hey, uh...
- 187
- 00:11:34,971 --> 00:11:36,425
- Thanks, Rob.
- 188
- 00:11:36,851 --> 00:11:37,971
- Thanks for what?
- 189
- 00:11:38,171 --> 00:11:39,784
- You know, the discount.
- 190
- 00:11:41,011 --> 00:11:43,331
- Well, you're working
- three jobs, Doug.
- 191
- 00:11:43,531 --> 00:11:44,587
- It was the least
- I could do, mate.
- 192
- 00:11:44,611 --> 00:11:48,067
- I know, you didn't have to do it,
- though, and I appreciate it.
- 193
- 00:11:49,771 --> 00:11:51,331
- Let's just get you
- to the top this time.
- 194
- 00:11:51,491 --> 00:11:52,786
- Yeah.
- 195
- 00:12:03,411 --> 00:12:05,309
- How you feeling, Beck?
- 196
- 00:12:06,131 --> 00:12:07,451
- Fair to middling.
- 197
- 00:12:07,651 --> 00:12:09,411
- Come on, buddy, you can do it.
- 198
- 00:12:09,611 --> 00:12:11,531
- Thought I was gonna
- acclimatize faster than this.
- 199
- 00:12:11,611 --> 00:12:13,861
- Uh, you'll be all right.
- 200
- 00:12:16,331 --> 00:12:17,830
- Darn critters.
- 201
- 00:12:33,291 --> 00:12:34,301
- Whoo!
- 202
- 00:12:35,731 --> 00:12:37,583
- Wow.
- Yeah.
- 203
- 00:12:43,251 --> 00:12:44,531
- How close did you get?
- 204
- 00:12:44,731 --> 00:12:47,811
- Well, I got real close
- but it got late and I was
- 205
- 00:12:48,011 --> 00:12:49,784
- pretty shot anyways.
- 206
- 00:12:50,851 --> 00:12:52,971
- Well, I think I would
- have made a run for it.
- 207
- 00:12:53,171 --> 00:12:54,491
- Every day I wake
- up thinking that.
- 208
- 00:12:54,571 --> 00:12:55,971
- Then why didn't you do it?
- 209
- 00:12:56,171 --> 00:12:57,511
- 'Cause I turned him around.
- 210
- 00:12:58,411 --> 00:12:59,851
- Morning 15 at the South Summit,
- 211
- 00:13:00,051 --> 00:13:01,051
- bad conditions,
- 212
- 00:13:01,131 --> 00:13:03,611
- we weren't gonna make
- our 2:00 p.m. turnaround.
- 213
- 00:13:03,811 --> 00:13:05,507
- See, it's all good and well
- to make the top, Beck,
- 214
- 00:13:05,531 --> 00:13:07,771
- but you pay me to
- bring you down safely.
- 215
- 00:13:07,971 --> 00:13:09,709
- Remember that.
- 216
- 00:13:10,771 --> 00:13:11,906
- Okay.
- 217
- 00:13:21,251 --> 00:13:22,944
- What's eating him?
- 218
- 00:13:23,771 --> 00:13:26,291
- One of our Sherpas, Tenzing.
- He had an accident.
- 219
- 00:13:26,491 --> 00:13:28,264
- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.
- 220
- 00:13:28,811 --> 00:13:30,747
- Fell while fixing one of
- the ladders on the Icefall.
- 221
- 00:13:30,771 --> 00:13:33,909
- It's not good.
- They had to bring him down.
- 222
- 00:14:15,131 --> 00:14:16,426
- Namaste.
- 223
- 00:14:20,771 --> 00:14:21,781
- Namaste.
- 224
- 00:15:18,851 --> 00:15:22,251
- Congratulations, you all made it.
- Welcome to Base Camp!
- 225
- 00:15:22,451 --> 00:15:24,331
- We got the United
- Nations here this year.
- 226
- 00:15:24,531 --> 00:15:27,020
- Got the IMAX team,
- South Africans.
- 227
- 00:15:29,491 --> 00:15:31,104
- And right up here
- 228
- 00:15:32,651 --> 00:15:34,549
- in the best spot of all
- 229
- 00:15:35,291 --> 00:15:37,051
- we have the Adventure
- Consultants Base Camp.
- 230
- 00:15:37,251 --> 00:15:39,491
- Hey, Helen.
- Hey. Hi, how are you?
- 231
- 00:15:39,691 --> 00:15:42,571
- Good to see you.
- Thank you.
- Welcome, nice to see you.
- 232
- 00:15:42,771 --> 00:15:43,771
- Hi, Rob.
- Hey.
- 233
- 00:15:43,891 --> 00:15:45,371
- Well done, you all right?
- 234
- 00:15:45,571 --> 00:15:46,571
- Yeah, good. You?
- 235
- 00:15:46,691 --> 00:15:49,091
- - Yeah, no, we're good.
- - It looks good.
- 236
- 00:15:49,291 --> 00:15:51,491
- For those of you that haven't met,
- this is Helen Wilton,
- 237
- 00:15:51,691 --> 00:15:52,931
- Base Camp manager.
- 238
- 00:15:53,131 --> 00:15:56,571
- She will be your mom
- for the next few weeks.
- 239
- 00:15:56,771 --> 00:15:58,651
- Any problems, take it to
- her and she'll sort it.
- 240
- 00:15:58,731 --> 00:16:00,891
- All right, well, it's very nice
- 241
- 00:16:01,091 --> 00:16:02,651
- to finally meet
- you all in person.
- 242
- 00:16:02,851 --> 00:16:04,171
- Ang Dorjee, come here.
- 243
- 00:16:04,371 --> 00:16:05,931
- This is Ang Dorjee, everyone.
- 244
- 00:16:06,131 --> 00:16:08,825
- He's your climbing sirdar,
- your lead Sherpa.
- 245
- 00:16:09,331 --> 00:16:10,811
- Hey, how are ya?
- 246
- 00:16:11,011 --> 00:16:12,011
- You speak English?
- 247
- 00:16:12,211 --> 00:16:15,331
- Better than you, Mr. America.
- 248
- 00:16:15,531 --> 00:16:18,020
- Bet you climb better than I do, huh?
- Yeah.
- 249
- 00:16:18,691 --> 00:16:19,781
- Yeah?
- 250
- 00:16:20,691 --> 00:16:21,971
- Summited three times, Beck.
- 251
- 00:16:22,171 --> 00:16:23,627
- All right, all right.
- I hear ya, I hear ya.
- 252
- 00:16:23,651 --> 00:16:25,491
- All right, well, there's
- tea in the mess tent
- 253
- 00:16:25,691 --> 00:16:27,907
- when you've dumped your sacks
- 254
- 00:16:28,451 --> 00:16:29,811
- and the comms
- tent's down the back,
- 255
- 00:16:29,891 --> 00:16:32,051
- that's the cooking tent,
- and over there
- 256
- 00:16:32,251 --> 00:16:33,750
- is the toilet.
- 257
- 00:16:34,291 --> 00:16:37,731
- It's a little bit drafty,
- but just remember that
- 258
- 00:16:37,931 --> 00:16:39,411
- when the wind gets
- up here, you've got
- 259
- 00:16:39,451 --> 00:16:41,940
- the same view that
- George Everest did.
- 260
- 00:16:49,651 --> 00:16:51,571
- For those of you
- who haven't used crampons before
- 261
- 00:16:51,771 --> 00:16:53,627
- the left and rights are marked
- with an "L" and an "R,"
- 262
- 00:16:53,651 --> 00:16:54,691
- so you can't get it wrong.
- 263
- 00:16:54,731 --> 00:16:56,011
- All right?
- So, simple.
- 264
- 00:16:56,211 --> 00:16:59,622
- First of all, you push it into
- the shoe with this.
- 265
- 00:17:00,091 --> 00:17:01,731
- Unbelievable.
- 266
- 00:17:01,931 --> 00:17:04,491
- If it isn't the mayor
- of Base Camp!
- 267
- 00:17:04,691 --> 00:17:07,544
- Scott Fischer,
- Mr. Mountain Madness.
- 268
- 00:17:08,771 --> 00:17:09,771
- In the flesh.
- 269
- 00:17:09,931 --> 00:17:11,291
- You want a cup?
- 270
- 00:17:11,491 --> 00:17:14,822
- Sit down, man.
- Acclimatize!
- 271
- 00:17:15,451 --> 00:17:16,971
- Okay. I'm normally
- a tea man myself,
- 272
- 00:17:17,171 --> 00:17:18,545
- but let's give it a go.
- 273
- 00:17:19,131 --> 00:17:20,824
- Thank you so much.
- 274
- 00:17:26,331 --> 00:17:28,149
- Wow. It's crazy
- this year, eh?
- 275
- 00:17:28,971 --> 00:17:29,971
- I know, man.
- 276
- 00:17:30,131 --> 00:17:32,611
- Some idiot Kiwi goes and invents
- Himalayan guiding
- 277
- 00:17:32,811 --> 00:17:34,851
- and look what happens.
- 278
- 00:17:35,051 --> 00:17:37,531
- Yeah, it didn't take you
- too long to get in on the act.
- 279
- 00:17:37,731 --> 00:17:39,742
- Gotta make a living, man.
- 280
- 00:17:41,851 --> 00:17:43,891
- You went ahead and fixed the icefalls,
- I see.
- 281
- 00:17:44,091 --> 00:17:45,091
- Yeah, yeah.
- 282
- 00:17:45,291 --> 00:17:46,867
- It's pretty messy up there this year.
- Yeah?
- 283
- 00:17:46,891 --> 00:17:48,251
- Crevasses are pretty big.
- 284
- 00:17:48,451 --> 00:17:50,291
- Strung four or five
- ladders across.
- 285
- 00:17:50,491 --> 00:17:53,185
- You used good
- ropes though, didn't you?
- 286
- 00:17:53,811 --> 00:17:54,851
- You ready? Okay.
- 287
- 00:17:55,051 --> 00:17:58,171
- This is, um, April 7th,
- about 10:30 a.m.,
- 288
- 00:17:58,371 --> 00:17:59,427
- this is Sandy Hill Pittman,
- 289
- 00:17:59,451 --> 00:18:01,571
- reporting for NBC
- Interactive Media
- 290
- 00:18:01,771 --> 00:18:04,386
- and we are officially
- at Everest Base Camp!
- 291
- 00:18:04,971 --> 00:18:06,531
- She one of yours?
- Oh, yeah.
- 292
- 00:18:06,731 --> 00:18:08,491
- Someone went and
- stole my journalist
- 293
- 00:18:08,691 --> 00:18:10,531
- so I had to get another one.
- Hmm.
- 294
- 00:18:10,731 --> 00:18:13,131
- She's a lot easier on the eye
- than Jon Krakauer,
- 295
- 00:18:13,331 --> 00:18:14,587
- that's for sure.
- Listen, just to be clear,
- 296
- 00:18:14,611 --> 00:18:15,707
- I didn't steal your journalist.
- 297
- 00:18:15,731 --> 00:18:16,731
- Hey, man, it's all good.
- 298
- 00:18:16,851 --> 00:18:19,051
- Outside magazine gave me a call.
- 299
- 00:18:19,251 --> 00:18:20,651
- Hey. Hey!
- They gave me a call.
- 300
- 00:18:20,851 --> 00:18:22,731
- - Said they wanted to...
- - It's all good, man.
- 301
- 00:18:22,931 --> 00:18:24,267
- They were gonna send
- a journalist up the hill
- 302
- 00:18:24,291 --> 00:18:27,543
- and asked me if
- I was interested.
- 303
- 00:18:28,131 --> 00:18:30,222
- It was his call in the end.
- 304
- 00:18:40,611 --> 00:18:42,227
- All right, Caroline MacKenzie,
- team doctor.
- 305
- 00:18:42,251 --> 00:18:43,651
- Why don't you kick it off, Caro.
- 306
- 00:18:43,851 --> 00:18:45,491
- - Hi, everyone.
- - Hey, Caro.
- 307
- 00:18:45,691 --> 00:18:46,940
- Hi there.
- 308
- 00:18:48,451 --> 00:18:50,531
- Sorry.
- That's fine.
- 309
- 00:18:50,731 --> 00:18:51,741
- Um...
- 310
- 00:18:52,051 --> 00:18:54,011
- So Rob and Harold
- and Mike will tell you
- 311
- 00:18:54,211 --> 00:18:56,171
- all sorts of stuff
- about mountaineering,
- 312
- 00:18:56,371 --> 00:18:58,251
- but from a medical standpoint
- 313
- 00:18:58,451 --> 00:19:01,851
- getting you to the top of Everest
- is really about oxygen.
- 314
- 00:19:02,051 --> 00:19:03,571
- And the lack of it.
- 315
- 00:19:03,771 --> 00:19:05,531
- To give you the best
- chance of summiting
- 316
- 00:19:05,731 --> 00:19:07,251
- you need to prepare your bodies
- 317
- 00:19:07,451 --> 00:19:08,931
- for the thin air up there.
- 318
- 00:19:09,131 --> 00:19:11,651
- So, over the next month,
- before the final ascent
- 319
- 00:19:11,851 --> 00:19:14,651
- you're gonna make three
- partial acclimatizing ascents
- 320
- 00:19:14,851 --> 00:19:17,101
- returning here to
- Base Camp after each one.
- 321
- 00:19:17,811 --> 00:19:19,571
- The bad news is that each ascent
- 322
- 00:19:19,771 --> 00:19:21,623
- begins and ends
- with the Icefall.
- 323
- 00:19:22,251 --> 00:19:25,211
- I'm sorry, but there
- is no way around it.
- 324
- 00:19:25,411 --> 00:19:27,211
- There are millions
- of tons of glacial ice
- 325
- 00:19:27,411 --> 00:19:29,571
- continually moving
- day and night.
- 326
- 00:19:29,771 --> 00:19:31,611
- You got seracs
- the size of tower blocks,
- 327
- 00:19:31,811 --> 00:19:35,331
- you got crevasses so deep
- they probably don't even have a bottom.
- 328
- 00:19:35,531 --> 00:19:37,851
- It is not a place that
- you wanna get caught hanging out in,
- 329
- 00:19:38,011 --> 00:19:39,571
- especially when the sun hits it.
- 330
- 00:19:39,771 --> 00:19:41,027
- So we're gonna be
- up nice and early
- 331
- 00:19:41,051 --> 00:19:43,171
- and through that
- as soon as possible.
- 332
- 00:19:43,371 --> 00:19:44,611
- Now the Sherpas have gone ahead
- 333
- 00:19:44,651 --> 00:19:46,107
- and fixed the ladders
- across the crevasses
- 334
- 00:19:46,131 --> 00:19:48,371
- and we've made it as
- safe as we possibly can.
- 335
- 00:19:48,571 --> 00:19:50,787
- But that is not to say
- that it is completely safe.
- 336
- 00:19:51,411 --> 00:19:54,151
- 19 people have
- died in that Icefall.
- 337
- 00:19:54,731 --> 00:19:57,141
- Whoa!
- Whoa! Hold on!
- 338
- 00:19:58,331 --> 00:19:59,531
- Steady.
- 339
- 00:19:59,731 --> 00:20:00,811
- You all right, Jon?
- 340
- 00:20:01,011 --> 00:20:02,491
- You all right?
- 341
- 00:20:02,691 --> 00:20:03,851
- - I'm good.
- - Okay.
- 342
- 00:20:04,051 --> 00:20:05,731
- All right, steady up.
- Whoo!
- 343
- 00:20:05,931 --> 00:20:08,371
- So remember, we're a team.
- 344
- 00:20:08,571 --> 00:20:10,184
- Let's look out for each other.
- 345
- 00:20:11,531 --> 00:20:13,131
- Look out for hypothermia,
- 346
- 00:20:13,331 --> 00:20:16,071
- things like slurred speech
- and irrational behavior.
- 347
- 00:20:17,011 --> 00:20:18,611
- I've seen hypoxic
- climbers rip off
- 348
- 00:20:18,811 --> 00:20:20,331
- all their clothes
- at 8,000 meters
- 349
- 00:20:20,531 --> 00:20:22,668
- because they're feeling hot.
- 350
- 00:20:24,051 --> 00:20:26,731
- You all know about cerebral edema,
- the swelling of your brain
- 351
- 00:20:26,931 --> 00:20:30,149
- to the point of loss of motor
- function and eventually death.
- 352
- 00:20:31,731 --> 00:20:34,891
- And pulmonary edema,
- which is your lungs filling with fluid
- 353
- 00:20:35,091 --> 00:20:36,971
- so you effectively drown.
- 354
- 00:20:37,171 --> 00:20:39,865
- The only cure is to get
- down the mountain, fast.
- 355
- 00:20:40,611 --> 00:20:42,091
- - All right, okay.
- - All right, buddy.
- 356
- 00:20:42,251 --> 00:20:44,571
- But it is not all
- doom and gloom here, okay?
- 357
- 00:20:44,771 --> 00:20:46,491
- Myself and
- the whole AC team are here
- 358
- 00:20:46,691 --> 00:20:48,371
- to make sure you get
- up and down safely
- 359
- 00:20:48,571 --> 00:20:51,171
- and you will
- acclimatize naturally.
- 360
- 00:20:51,371 --> 00:20:54,091
- So why don't we all
- give Caro a nice big thank you,
- 361
- 00:20:54,291 --> 00:20:55,506
- it's her first time here.
- 362
- 00:20:56,331 --> 00:20:58,547
- - All right.
- - Nice job.
- 363
- 00:21:09,571 --> 00:21:10,911
- Well done.
- 364
- 00:21:11,251 --> 00:21:12,971
- See, you want to
- get on the regulator.
- 365
- 00:21:13,171 --> 00:21:14,251
- You want to hear that hiss.
- 366
- 00:21:16,691 --> 00:21:17,691
- Connect your hose.
- 367
- 00:21:17,851 --> 00:21:19,651
- - Yasuko.
- - Beck.
- 368
- 00:21:19,851 --> 00:21:21,171
- How'd you do, darling?
- Okay.
- 369
- 00:21:21,371 --> 00:21:22,851
- - Good?
- - Well done.
- 370
- 00:21:23,051 --> 00:21:24,051
- Can I get a hit of that?
- 371
- 00:21:24,131 --> 00:21:26,051
- Have a suck on that.
- 372
- 00:21:26,251 --> 00:21:27,811
- In a situation like this,
- you just wanna
- 373
- 00:21:27,851 --> 00:21:29,851
- catch your breath,
- throw it up to four.
- 374
- 00:21:30,051 --> 00:21:31,067
- You should start
- feeling pretty good.
- 375
- 00:21:31,091 --> 00:21:32,091
- I can feel it already.
- 376
- 00:21:32,171 --> 00:21:33,571
- How did you boys go?
- 377
- 00:21:33,771 --> 00:21:35,011
- Hey.
- Instant happiness.
- 378
- 00:21:35,211 --> 00:21:37,268
- - It's amazing.
- - Very happy.
- 379
- 00:21:41,171 --> 00:21:42,909
- Doug, you okay?
- 380
- 00:21:43,371 --> 00:21:44,587
- Well, when we get back to Base,
- 381
- 00:21:44,611 --> 00:21:46,891
- I want you to get Caro
- to take a look at you.
- 382
- 00:21:47,091 --> 00:21:49,023
- - No. I'm all right, I'm okay.
- - No, no.
- 383
- 00:21:49,611 --> 00:21:51,267
- And do me a favor,
- spend your night on oxygen.
- 384
- 00:21:51,291 --> 00:21:52,371
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
- 385
- 00:21:52,571 --> 00:21:53,571
- We got enough?
- 386
- 00:21:53,651 --> 00:21:55,549
- We got plenty.
- All right.
- 387
- 00:21:57,571 --> 00:21:59,787
- Get some tea into ya.
- 388
- 00:22:00,411 --> 00:22:02,131
- Just lift your shirt up a bit.
- 389
- 00:22:02,331 --> 00:22:03,671
- Thank you.
- 390
- 00:22:06,811 --> 00:22:08,743
- And take a deep breath for me?
- 391
- 00:22:15,091 --> 00:22:16,507
- Just take one of those
- in the morning
- 392
- 00:22:16,531 --> 00:22:17,907
- with a bit of water,
- before breakfast.
- 393
- 00:22:17,931 --> 00:22:19,571
- Okay, thanks.
- 394
- 00:22:19,771 --> 00:22:22,943
- Right, Beck, you're up.
- Sorry. Here, go for it.
- 395
- 00:22:24,611 --> 00:22:26,270
- Read it and weep.
- 396
- 00:22:26,811 --> 00:22:28,663
- Take it easy, Doug.
- 397
- 00:22:31,891 --> 00:22:33,491
- Right, you can stop.
- Yeah?
- 398
- 00:22:33,691 --> 00:22:34,747
- You're in great shape, Beck.
- 399
- 00:22:34,771 --> 00:22:35,781
- I am in great shape.
- 400
- 00:22:36,211 --> 00:22:38,011
- - You are.
- - Six days a week in the gym.
- 401
- 00:22:38,211 --> 00:22:40,251
- Ought to do it.
- Your wife must love that.
- 402
- 00:22:40,451 --> 00:22:41,461
- Yeah, she does.
- 403
- 00:22:42,811 --> 00:22:45,091
- Oh, no. What's
- the date today?
- 404
- 00:22:45,291 --> 00:22:46,291
- April 25th.
- 405
- 00:22:46,331 --> 00:22:49,071
- No!
- 406
- 00:22:53,691 --> 00:22:56,371
- I need to send a message to my wife.
- Can I use your fax?
- 407
- 00:22:56,571 --> 00:22:57,827
- You might wanna
- look at this one first.
- 408
- 00:22:57,851 --> 00:23:00,181
- It came in for you last night.
- 409
- 00:23:04,371 --> 00:23:06,223
- - Lord.
- - What?
- 410
- 00:23:08,091 --> 00:23:10,291
- Can I use your sat phone?
- Ooh!
- 411
- 00:23:10,491 --> 00:23:12,851
- Well, if this did come in last night,
- it's an emergency.
- 412
- 00:23:13,051 --> 00:23:14,531
- It's 25 bucks a minute, Beck.
- 413
- 00:23:14,731 --> 00:23:15,731
- Yep, fine.
- 414
- 00:23:15,891 --> 00:23:17,051
- No, this one's on us.
- 415
- 00:23:17,251 --> 00:23:18,691
- Seriously?
- 416
- 00:23:18,891 --> 00:23:20,140
- Thanks.
- 417
- 00:23:21,651 --> 00:23:22,741
- Rob!
- 418
- 00:23:24,451 --> 00:23:26,851
- - Beck?
- - Peach, it's me.
- 419
- 00:23:27,051 --> 00:23:28,411
- What's happened?
- 420
- 00:23:28,611 --> 00:23:30,145
- Nothing, nothing.
- I'm fine.
- 421
- 00:23:30,811 --> 00:23:32,345
- Where are you?
- 422
- 00:23:32,651 --> 00:23:35,971
- Uh, I'm at Base Camp right now.
- 423
- 00:23:36,171 --> 00:23:37,971
- You're calling me from Everest?
- 424
- 00:23:38,171 --> 00:23:39,851
- Yeah, it's
- a satellite phone, honey.
- 425
- 00:23:40,051 --> 00:23:43,291
- Oh, my God, how much is that costing?
- What's the problem?
- 426
- 00:23:43,491 --> 00:23:44,691
- There is no problem, Peach.
- 427
- 00:23:44,891 --> 00:23:45,901
- Uh...
- 428
- 00:23:46,851 --> 00:23:48,331
- I'm sorry,
- we were up at Camp Two
- 429
- 00:23:48,531 --> 00:23:51,703
- and that's why I didn't
- send you a fax yesterday.
- 430
- 00:23:53,171 --> 00:23:55,990
- Happy anniversary! Okay?
- 431
- 00:23:58,251 --> 00:23:59,251
- How are the kids?
- 432
- 00:23:59,411 --> 00:24:00,546
- Fine.
- 433
- 00:24:01,331 --> 00:24:02,331
- Peach?
- 434
- 00:24:02,371 --> 00:24:03,711
- Bub's here
- 435
- 00:24:05,211 --> 00:24:07,851
- doing his homework
- in the morning, as per usual.
- 436
- 00:24:08,051 --> 00:24:09,051
- You wanna say hi to him?
- 437
- 00:24:09,131 --> 00:24:10,651
- Well, yeah, of course I do.
- 438
- 00:24:10,851 --> 00:24:11,851
- Hang on.
- Okay.
- 439
- 00:24:12,011 --> 00:24:13,011
- Say hi.
- Hey, Dad!
- 440
- 00:24:13,211 --> 00:24:14,211
- - Hey, bud!
- - Hi!
- 441
- 00:24:14,291 --> 00:24:15,904
- I miss you, buddy.
- 442
- 00:24:16,411 --> 00:24:18,548
- Oh! And Meg went
- on her first date last weekend.
- 443
- 00:24:19,731 --> 00:24:21,131
- Well, you did!
- 444
- 00:24:21,331 --> 00:24:23,388
- Wow! Really?
- Mmm-hmm.
- 445
- 00:24:23,891 --> 00:24:25,584
- Get off!
- Peach?
- 446
- 00:24:28,531 --> 00:24:30,451
- I miss you, honey.
- 447
- 00:24:30,651 --> 00:24:32,531
- Mom? Mom?
- 448
- 00:24:32,731 --> 00:24:34,390
- I miss the kids.
- 449
- 00:24:36,211 --> 00:24:37,426
- A lot.
- 450
- 00:24:39,491 --> 00:24:40,491
- Peach?
- 451
- 00:24:40,571 --> 00:24:43,371
- Listen, I gotta get
- the kids to school
- 452
- 00:24:43,571 --> 00:24:45,309
- so I gotta run.
- 453
- 00:24:47,251 --> 00:24:48,251
- Okay.
- 454
- 00:24:48,291 --> 00:24:49,301
- Yeah, go careful.
- 455
- 00:24:50,131 --> 00:24:51,221
- Bye-bye.
- 456
- 00:24:54,691 --> 00:24:56,270
- Is Dad okay?
- 457
- 00:24:58,091 --> 00:24:59,943
- Just, he never calls.
- 458
- 00:25:01,571 --> 00:25:03,389
- I think he's scared.
- 459
- 00:25:16,091 --> 00:25:18,421
- Here, come in, mate, come on!
- 460
- 00:25:19,131 --> 00:25:21,268
- - Come on.
- - Come on, Beck.
- 461
- 00:25:22,611 --> 00:25:24,731
- You don't dance,
- you don't climb!
- 462
- 00:25:24,931 --> 00:25:27,181
- Come on, guys, Beck Weathers!
- 463
- 00:25:29,131 --> 00:25:32,462
- No dance, no climb!
- No dance, no climb!
- 464
- 00:25:41,651 --> 00:25:43,851
- Hey, man.
- Breaking into the rations?
- 465
- 00:25:44,051 --> 00:25:45,061
- Yeah, you want some?
- 466
- 00:25:45,811 --> 00:25:48,141
- No. I'll wait
- till we summit.
- 467
- 00:25:49,851 --> 00:25:52,386
- I don't know about that, Neal.
- 468
- 00:25:53,011 --> 00:25:54,771
- We'll get there.
- 469
- 00:25:54,971 --> 00:25:55,971
- I'm excited.
- 470
- 00:25:56,091 --> 00:25:57,731
- Anyway, me and Anatoli
- 471
- 00:25:57,931 --> 00:25:59,590
- are here to help you, you know?
- 472
- 00:26:01,811 --> 00:26:04,505
- There's too much
- competition, Toli.
- 473
- 00:26:07,531 --> 00:26:10,384
- We don't need competition
- between people.
- 474
- 00:26:13,771 --> 00:26:17,751
- There is competition between
- every person and this mountain.
- 475
- 00:26:20,851 --> 00:26:24,467
- The last word always belongs
- to the mountain.
- 476
- 00:26:49,371 --> 00:26:51,331
- - Ang Dorjee!
- - Yeah?
- 477
- 00:26:51,531 --> 00:26:53,747
- Stay there, Beck, stay there.
- 478
- 00:26:54,371 --> 00:26:56,223
- Okay, I'm coming down!
- 479
- 00:27:00,251 --> 00:27:02,051
- Harold, Mike, this is Rob.
- 480
- 00:27:02,251 --> 00:27:04,945
- Mike here.
- This isn't happening, guys.
- 481
- 00:27:06,051 --> 00:27:07,949
- Let's turn 'em around,
- 482
- 00:27:08,491 --> 00:27:11,571
- let's get 'em off the face and back down
- to Base Camp. Turn around.
- 483
- 00:27:11,771 --> 00:27:13,980
- - Ang Dorjee, come on, we're going down.
- - Okay.
- 484
- 00:27:19,891 --> 00:27:21,106
- My hand.
- 485
- 00:27:23,051 --> 00:27:24,851
- Okay, make a fist again.
- 486
- 00:27:25,051 --> 00:27:27,540
- Keep clenching,
- just keep the blood flowing.
- 487
- 00:27:30,491 --> 00:27:32,171
- What's going on, man?
- 488
- 00:27:32,371 --> 00:27:34,731
- We're still waiting
- for the South Africans.
- 489
- 00:27:34,931 --> 00:27:37,261
- Taiwanese took forever as well.
- 490
- 00:27:39,011 --> 00:27:41,731
- Hey, Ian.
- You haven't paid for these ladders.
- 491
- 00:27:41,931 --> 00:27:44,784
- Yeah, yeah. Your Yak
- Fund money's coming.
- 492
- 00:27:45,491 --> 00:27:46,651
- You serious, man?
- 493
- 00:27:46,851 --> 00:27:48,100
- Come on, get a move on.
- 494
- 00:27:54,931 --> 00:27:56,027
- How long you been waiting here?
- 495
- 00:27:56,051 --> 00:27:57,131
- Good 45 minutes.
- 496
- 00:27:57,331 --> 00:27:58,411
- Man, it's freezing.
- 497
- 00:27:58,611 --> 00:28:00,451
- - Yeah.
- - It's stinging, huh?
- 498
- 00:28:00,651 --> 00:28:02,211
- Yeah. Right at the tips.
- 499
- 00:28:02,411 --> 00:28:03,587
- Hey, Rob, we gotta get 'em over.
- 500
- 00:28:03,611 --> 00:28:04,611
- We're working on it.
- 501
- 00:28:04,771 --> 00:28:06,509
- He's freezing, mate.
- 502
- 00:28:07,891 --> 00:28:09,771
- - Are you set?
- - Clear.
- 503
- 00:28:09,971 --> 00:28:12,824
- - Sending him over, Mike!
- - Yeah, all right.
- 504
- 00:28:19,291 --> 00:28:21,091
- Looking good, Beck.
- 505
- 00:28:21,291 --> 00:28:22,825
- Looking good.
- 506
- 00:28:29,971 --> 00:28:32,460
- That's it. No, head up,
- mate, head up.
- 507
- 00:28:49,811 --> 00:28:50,946
- Steady yourself!
- 508
- 00:28:51,811 --> 00:28:52,811
- Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
- 509
- 00:28:52,931 --> 00:28:55,611
- Little help?
- Help! Help!
- 510
- 00:28:55,811 --> 00:28:57,971
- Mike, you good?
- 511
- 00:28:58,171 --> 00:28:59,307
- Are these ladders
- gonna take two?
- 512
- 00:28:59,331 --> 00:29:00,811
- Yeah, I'll get a rope,
- I'll belay you.
- 513
- 00:29:00,891 --> 00:29:02,107
- Just stay right
- where you are, mate.
- 514
- 00:29:02,131 --> 00:29:03,131
- I can't pull myself up!
- 515
- 00:29:03,291 --> 00:29:05,571
- I'm gonna come out to you.
- 516
- 00:29:05,771 --> 00:29:06,771
- Okay.
- 517
- 00:29:06,891 --> 00:29:07,947
- You're good, Beck, you're okay.
- 518
- 00:29:07,971 --> 00:29:08,971
- Got it for you.
- 519
- 00:29:09,091 --> 00:29:10,267
- Right, tie me
- in, Scott, tie me in.
- 520
- 00:29:10,291 --> 00:29:11,291
- Come and get me!
- 521
- 00:29:11,411 --> 00:29:12,691
- - On belay?
- - Got it. On belay.
- 522
- 00:29:12,891 --> 00:29:14,051
- Let's go.
- 523
- 00:29:14,251 --> 00:29:16,661
- Right, I'm coming out to you, Beck.
- Here I come, mate.
- 524
- 00:29:22,491 --> 00:29:25,071
- Nice and easy,
- you're tied in, mate.
- 525
- 00:29:26,091 --> 00:29:27,211
- I can't feel my hands.
- 526
- 00:29:27,411 --> 00:29:28,491
- You're looking good.
- 527
- 00:29:28,691 --> 00:29:30,091
- Grab me.
- Beck, Beck, Beck.
- 528
- 00:29:30,291 --> 00:29:32,131
- Grab me!
- Stay right where you are, mate.
- 529
- 00:29:32,331 --> 00:29:33,627
- I'm right here,
- I'm coming to you.
- 530
- 00:29:33,651 --> 00:29:35,451
- I can't pull myself up!
- 531
- 00:29:35,651 --> 00:29:36,900
- I got ya.
- 532
- 00:29:45,691 --> 00:29:47,031
- You okay?
- 533
- 00:29:48,251 --> 00:29:50,931
- There's no guarantee
- to the summit, I get it.
- 534
- 00:29:51,131 --> 00:29:53,011
- But to get killed
- because I'm waiting in line
- 535
- 00:29:53,211 --> 00:29:55,451
- like I'm in freaking Walmart.
- 536
- 00:29:55,651 --> 00:29:58,851
- That's not why I
- paid you 65,000 dollars.
- 537
- 00:29:59,051 --> 00:30:00,664
- Now get me off of here.
- 538
- 00:30:02,211 --> 00:30:05,224
- That's it.
- Plant your feet one at a time.
- 539
- 00:30:11,771 --> 00:30:13,051
- All right, thanks for coming by.
- 540
- 00:30:13,251 --> 00:30:14,251
- Uh...
- 541
- 00:30:14,291 --> 00:30:17,571
- Look, Base Camp's,
- you know, chockablock full this year, so,
- 542
- 00:30:17,771 --> 00:30:19,691
- I think it would
- all benefit us greatly
- 543
- 00:30:19,891 --> 00:30:21,011
- by coming together like this
- 544
- 00:30:21,171 --> 00:30:23,452
- and, you know, working out
- some kind of plan and schedule.
- 545
- 00:30:23,531 --> 00:30:24,771
- What, like some kind of rota?
- 546
- 00:30:24,971 --> 00:30:25,971
- Yes.
- 547
- 00:30:26,091 --> 00:30:27,431
- On Everest?
- 548
- 00:30:29,211 --> 00:30:30,651
- Everyone knows
- Everest is a business
- 549
- 00:30:30,851 --> 00:30:32,411
- for you, Robert,
- are you kidding?
- 550
- 00:30:32,611 --> 00:30:33,787
- What gives you
- the right to tell us
- 551
- 00:30:33,811 --> 00:30:34,867
- when we can climb
- and when we can't?
- 552
- 00:30:34,891 --> 00:30:36,789
- I'm not telling you, mate.
- I'm asking.
- 553
- 00:30:37,371 --> 00:30:39,771
- If we know when everybody's
- planning to summit, for instance,
- 554
- 00:30:39,811 --> 00:30:40,907
- you know, we can avoid the chaos
- 555
- 00:30:40,931 --> 00:30:42,988
- that happened in
- the Icefall today.
- 556
- 00:30:43,611 --> 00:30:45,771
- Adventure Consultants
- are aiming for May 10.
- 557
- 00:30:45,971 --> 00:30:47,851
- So are we, man!
- Us too.
- 558
- 00:30:48,051 --> 00:30:49,266
- May 10.
- 559
- 00:30:51,611 --> 00:30:54,371
- Okay, that's bumper-to-bumper
- traffic on the Hillary Step.
- 560
- 00:30:54,571 --> 00:30:55,691
- Yes, it is, that's my point.
- 561
- 00:30:55,731 --> 00:30:58,630
- Look, this is ridiculous.
- We're summiting when we want.
- 562
- 00:30:59,291 --> 00:31:00,291
- All right?
- 563
- 00:31:00,331 --> 00:31:03,171
- And I don't need
- your permission to climb the mountain.
- 564
- 00:31:03,371 --> 00:31:05,507
- Ian, have you seen
- how many people are here at Base Camp?
- 565
- 00:31:05,531 --> 00:31:07,861
- We're finished here.
- Come on, guys.
- Ian! Hey, man.
- 566
- 00:31:22,331 --> 00:31:23,990
- Oh, Rob!
- 567
- 00:31:24,451 --> 00:31:27,145
- - Ah! Come in, man!
- - Hi.
- 568
- 00:31:27,931 --> 00:31:30,051
- Have a drink, Rob!
- Come on, man.
- 569
- 00:31:30,251 --> 00:31:31,811
- Na zdorovie.
- 570
- 00:31:32,011 --> 00:31:33,351
- Na zdorovie!
- 571
- 00:31:34,371 --> 00:31:36,428
- Can we have a word?
- Yeah.
- 572
- 00:31:42,011 --> 00:31:43,411
- You feeling a little crook, huh?
- 573
- 00:31:43,611 --> 00:31:44,891
- No, it's just a little...
- 574
- 00:31:45,091 --> 00:31:46,691
- Little touch of the Delhi belly.
- 575
- 00:31:46,891 --> 00:31:48,171
- He means Buddha belly.
- 576
- 00:31:48,371 --> 00:31:49,891
- Maybe Sandy's caviar.
- 577
- 00:31:50,091 --> 00:31:52,771
- I told you not to have
- the Dom Perignon with it!
- 578
- 00:31:52,971 --> 00:31:54,982
- What's going on, Roberto?
- 579
- 00:32:02,971 --> 00:32:06,211
- I don't like the look
- of the crowds on the ropes.
- 580
- 00:32:06,411 --> 00:32:07,851
- I think we're gonna
- have some trouble
- 581
- 00:32:07,891 --> 00:32:09,868
- once we get above Camp Three.
- 582
- 00:32:10,571 --> 00:32:12,251
- I mean, you wanna top
- it on the 10th, yeah?
- 583
- 00:32:12,291 --> 00:32:13,870
- Yeah.
- So do I.
- 584
- 00:32:15,651 --> 00:32:17,531
- What, are you saying
- we should team up?
- 585
- 00:32:17,731 --> 00:32:19,742
- Well, it's an idea, yeah.
- 586
- 00:32:21,211 --> 00:32:22,665
- Oh, man.
- 587
- 00:32:25,611 --> 00:32:28,510
- I don't know, man.
- We have different styles, man.
- 588
- 00:32:30,531 --> 00:32:34,511
- All due respect, you're a hand-holder.
- I mean, the best, but...
- 589
- 00:32:35,091 --> 00:32:37,291
- I just believe that if you can't
- get up there yourself
- 590
- 00:32:37,491 --> 00:32:39,851
- you shouldn't be on
- the mountain at all.
- 591
- 00:32:40,051 --> 00:32:42,811
- You guide your team,
- I guide mine.
- 592
- 00:32:43,011 --> 00:32:44,291
- I'm just suggesting that we work
- 593
- 00:32:44,451 --> 00:32:45,811
- with each other
- instead of against.
- 594
- 00:32:45,851 --> 00:32:48,591
- The only way we both summit, mate,
- is if we work together.
- 595
- 00:32:49,651 --> 00:32:51,822
- Particularly fixing the ropes.
- 596
- 00:32:52,531 --> 00:32:54,429
- It's gotta make sense.
- 597
- 00:32:59,891 --> 00:33:02,267
- Whoo-ie! Why not?
- 598
- 00:33:03,531 --> 00:33:06,131
- Yeah?
- Yeah, I see the sense in it.
- 599
- 00:33:06,331 --> 00:33:08,051
- Good man.
- That was all.
- 600
- 00:33:08,251 --> 00:33:09,625
- All right.
- 601
- 00:33:10,291 --> 00:33:13,110
- Who's gonna lead
- when we get up there?
- 602
- 00:33:17,491 --> 00:33:20,424
- Rob. If I say I will
- do it, it will be done.
- 603
- 00:33:25,611 --> 00:33:26,611
- Whoa! Whoa!
- Whoa! Whoa!
- 604
- 00:33:26,691 --> 00:33:27,747
- You gotta work with Ang Dorjee,
- 605
- 00:33:27,771 --> 00:33:29,669
- because we're
- working together now.
- 606
- 00:33:30,771 --> 00:33:32,811
- I'm just saying,
- if both of us...
- 607
- 00:33:33,011 --> 00:33:34,988
- Whoa! Whoa!
- Whoa! Whoa!
- 608
- 00:33:35,771 --> 00:33:36,906
- Okay?
- 609
- 00:33:37,411 --> 00:33:38,785
- Ang Dorjee.
- 610
- 00:33:40,691 --> 00:33:42,051
- We're all professionals here.
- 611
- 00:33:42,251 --> 00:33:44,371
- We'll work together and
- we'll get the job done. Yes?
- 612
- 00:33:44,571 --> 00:33:45,571
- All right.
- Yeah.
- 613
- 00:33:45,691 --> 00:33:48,331
- We're planning on stashing,
- what, eight bottles of O
- 614
- 00:33:48,531 --> 00:33:49,691
- up at the South Summit.
- 615
- 00:33:49,891 --> 00:33:51,851
- - Well, I'm not using O.
- - What do you mean?
- 616
- 00:33:52,051 --> 00:33:53,291
- You're not using oxygen at all?
- 617
- 00:33:53,371 --> 00:33:54,547
- Come on, man.
- You know you want to.
- 618
- 00:33:54,571 --> 00:33:55,891
- English air.
- Don't need it.
- 619
- 00:33:56,091 --> 00:33:58,211
- Yeah, but Anatoli,
- you're guiding for Scott this year.
- 620
- 00:33:58,371 --> 00:34:00,811
- You have people's lives in your hands.
- It's a job.
- 621
- 00:34:01,011 --> 00:34:03,491
- Never used it.
- Never will.
- 622
- 00:34:03,691 --> 00:34:05,987
- Bigger problems if you run out.
- 623
- 00:34:07,091 --> 00:34:08,101
- Okay.
- 624
- 00:34:08,731 --> 00:34:10,227
- I'll put some more
- bottles of O up there.
- 625
- 00:34:10,251 --> 00:34:11,940
- All right, that'll be good.
- All right.
- 626
- 00:34:12,611 --> 00:34:13,827
- Just so long as
- you guys are clear.
- 627
- 00:34:13,851 --> 00:34:15,211
- If you work for me,
- you use oxygen,
- 628
- 00:34:15,291 --> 00:34:16,571
- otherwise you don't work for me.
- 629
- 00:34:16,771 --> 00:34:18,131
- You don't have to ask, mate.
- 630
- 00:34:18,331 --> 00:34:19,867
- I've been up there
- before without O's, Rob.
- 631
- 00:34:19,891 --> 00:34:21,291
- I don't need to
- do it with clients.
- 632
- 00:34:21,491 --> 00:34:23,571
- All right, next
- we have to fix ropes.
- 633
- 00:34:23,771 --> 00:34:26,131
- Yeah.
- Particularly above the Lhotse Face.
- 634
- 00:34:26,331 --> 00:34:28,091
- Hillary Step need
- new fixed rope.
- 635
- 00:34:28,291 --> 00:34:29,571
- And South-East Ridge
- as well.
- 636
- 00:34:29,771 --> 00:34:30,851
- Yes, it does.
- Well...
- 637
- 00:34:31,051 --> 00:34:32,331
- My idea is that we work together
- 638
- 00:34:32,491 --> 00:34:33,531
- and we fix ropes together.
- 639
- 00:34:33,571 --> 00:34:34,571
- We share the duties.
- 640
- 00:34:34,771 --> 00:34:35,811
- - Okay?
- - Sounds good.
- 641
- 00:34:36,011 --> 00:34:37,707
- All right,
- you and Lopsang maybe get together.
- 642
- 00:34:37,731 --> 00:34:40,550
- Talk about who wants
- to fix what and where, okay?
- 643
- 00:34:41,211 --> 00:34:43,651
- Only essentials. I'm not
- gonna tell you what to pack,
- 644
- 00:34:43,851 --> 00:34:45,531
- but be brutal. Okay?
- 645
- 00:34:45,731 --> 00:34:48,027
- One pound down here
- is like 10 up there.
- 646
- 00:34:49,251 --> 00:34:52,011
- Light and fast.
- 647
- 00:34:52,211 --> 00:34:55,542
- What, and just like that,
- you kill my summit cappuccino.
- 648
- 00:34:56,571 --> 00:34:58,851
- Go. go, go! Run!
- 649
- 00:34:59,051 --> 00:35:01,571
- - That camera's totally dying.
- - Okay.
- 650
- 00:35:01,771 --> 00:35:03,691
- All right, it's gonna
- be a tough week.
- 651
- 00:35:03,891 --> 00:35:07,091
- But it is gonna be
- the best Friday of your lives.
- 652
- 00:35:07,291 --> 00:35:09,411
- Yeah, what are we
- doing again on Friday?
- 653
- 00:35:09,611 --> 00:35:11,509
- Summiting!
- 654
- 00:35:14,531 --> 00:35:16,387
- - Now it's up to me, right?
- - Yes, it is, yes, it is.
- 655
- 00:35:16,411 --> 00:35:17,411
- I'll take three.
- 656
- 00:35:17,531 --> 00:35:18,780
- It's from Jan.
- 657
- 00:35:21,531 --> 00:35:24,851
- I knew it was gonna be a girl.
- I can't believe it.
- 658
- 00:35:25,051 --> 00:35:26,061
- It's a girl!
- 659
- 00:35:29,451 --> 00:35:31,051
- All right, good on you!
- 660
- 00:35:31,251 --> 00:35:32,491
- I knew I was.
- 661
- 00:35:32,691 --> 00:35:33,747
- I knew she was.
- Congratulations.
- 662
- 00:35:33,771 --> 00:35:35,589
- Thank you, thank you, Doug.
- Cheers, mate.
- 663
- 00:35:36,371 --> 00:35:37,811
- When's she due?
- 664
- 00:35:38,011 --> 00:35:39,411
- Mid-July, as soon
- as I get back.
- 665
- 00:35:39,611 --> 00:35:40,931
- You better sleep now, buddy.
- 666
- 00:35:41,131 --> 00:35:42,585
- Yeah, that's true.
- 667
- 00:35:43,051 --> 00:35:44,411
- Hey, Rob.
- 668
- 00:35:44,611 --> 00:35:45,811
- Yeah?
- So...
- 669
- 00:35:46,011 --> 00:35:47,465
- Jan doesn't mind you being here?
- 670
- 00:35:47,691 --> 00:35:48,701
- Uh-oh.
- 671
- 00:35:48,931 --> 00:35:51,251
- Krakauer's sword is unleashed.
- 672
- 00:35:51,451 --> 00:35:53,931
- It's okay. Jan's a climber, Jon,
- she gets it.
- 673
- 00:35:54,131 --> 00:35:55,891
- - Yeah!
- - Cheers, Helen.
- 674
- 00:35:56,091 --> 00:35:57,707
- What about you, Doug?
- What about your wife?
- 675
- 00:35:57,731 --> 00:35:59,868
- Oh, she's been fine with it,
- ever since we divorced.
- 676
- 00:36:01,091 --> 00:36:02,387
- She's been great
- with everything since then.
- 677
- 00:36:02,411 --> 00:36:03,411
- I'm so sorry, buddy.
- 678
- 00:36:03,611 --> 00:36:04,851
- No, no.
- 679
- 00:36:05,051 --> 00:36:07,651
- No, no, no, I ask
- because Peach said to me,
- 680
- 00:36:07,851 --> 00:36:10,091
- "if you climb one more mountain,
- I will divorce you."
- 681
- 00:36:10,291 --> 00:36:13,383
- And you went ahead
- and then booked this trip!
- 682
- 00:36:14,211 --> 00:36:15,851
- No, no, no, the worst part of it
- 683
- 00:36:16,051 --> 00:36:19,269
- is that I kind of
- forgot to tell her.
- 684
- 00:36:20,931 --> 00:36:22,747
- You don't forget to tell her
- you're climbing Everest!
- 685
- 00:36:22,771 --> 00:36:23,787
- I forgot to tell her, I did.
- 686
- 00:36:23,811 --> 00:36:26,731
- All right. It's all
- on the table, here.
- 687
- 00:36:26,931 --> 00:36:31,051
- It hurts, it's dangerous,
- it destroys relationships,
- 688
- 00:36:31,251 --> 00:36:32,771
- it's costing you
- all a small fortune.
- 689
- 00:36:32,971 --> 00:36:34,587
- Are there any
- negative aspects to this game?
- 690
- 00:36:34,611 --> 00:36:37,611
- I gotta ask the question,
- you know I do.
- 691
- 00:36:37,811 --> 00:36:39,265
- Why?
- 692
- 00:36:40,611 --> 00:36:41,781
- Why.
- 693
- 00:36:43,411 --> 00:36:44,411
- Because...
- 694
- 00:36:44,451 --> 00:36:46,144
- It's there!
- 695
- 00:36:46,771 --> 00:36:48,651
- That's why.
- Thank you, Mr. Mallory.
- 696
- 00:36:48,851 --> 00:36:51,251
- - Come on.
- - Guys, I'm serious.
- 697
- 00:36:51,451 --> 00:36:54,350
- Yasuko. Why are you
- climbing Everest?
- 698
- 00:36:55,571 --> 00:36:56,571
- Uh...
- 699
- 00:36:56,651 --> 00:36:58,451
- I'm 47 years old,
- 700
- 00:36:58,651 --> 00:37:02,131
- I have reached six of
- the seven summits, so...
- 701
- 00:37:02,331 --> 00:37:05,851
- Of course, now I have
- to reach the seventh.
- 702
- 00:37:06,051 --> 00:37:07,630
- That's not an answer.
- 703
- 00:37:08,171 --> 00:37:10,251
- No. Why any summit?
- 704
- 00:37:10,451 --> 00:37:11,491
- Doug.
- 705
- 00:37:11,691 --> 00:37:12,986
- Me?
- Why?
- 706
- 00:37:14,131 --> 00:37:15,147
- Come on,
- tell 'em about the kids.
- 707
- 00:37:15,171 --> 00:37:16,171
- What?
- 708
- 00:37:16,251 --> 00:37:17,451
- Tell 'em about the kids.
- 709
- 00:37:17,651 --> 00:37:18,931
- Whose kids?
- Oh...
- 710
- 00:37:19,131 --> 00:37:20,771
- You have kids?
- 711
- 00:37:20,971 --> 00:37:23,331
- Yeah, I have kids,
- but, I thought I told you,
- 712
- 00:37:23,531 --> 00:37:26,020
- there's an elementary school,
- back home.
- 713
- 00:37:26,691 --> 00:37:28,611
- And I've been going
- and talking to the kids there
- 714
- 00:37:28,811 --> 00:37:32,131
- and they actually helped me raise
- some of the money to come
- 715
- 00:37:32,331 --> 00:37:35,491
- and gave me a flag
- to plant on the summit, and...
- 716
- 00:37:35,691 --> 00:37:38,651
- So, I was thinking,
- maybe it's...
- 717
- 00:37:38,851 --> 00:37:42,371
- They see a regular guy can,
- 718
- 00:37:42,571 --> 00:37:44,651
- you know, follow
- impossible dreams,
- 719
- 00:37:44,851 --> 00:37:46,571
- maybe they'll be inspired
- 720
- 00:37:46,771 --> 00:37:48,782
- to do the same, I guess.
- 721
- 00:37:49,531 --> 00:37:52,020
- I'm climbing Mount Everest
- 722
- 00:37:53,851 --> 00:37:55,385
- because I can.
- 723
- 00:37:56,171 --> 00:37:58,171
- Because to be able
- to climb that high
- 724
- 00:37:58,371 --> 00:38:01,543
- and see that kind of beauty
- that nobody ever sees,
- 725
- 00:38:02,651 --> 00:38:04,822
- it'd be a crime not to.
- 726
- 00:38:06,371 --> 00:38:07,371
- Hear, hear, Dougie.
- 727
- 00:38:07,491 --> 00:38:09,389
- - There you go.
- - I like that.
- 728
- 00:38:14,891 --> 00:38:15,891
- Hello?
- 729
- 00:38:16,051 --> 00:38:17,903
- Hey. Did I wake you?
- 730
- 00:38:19,011 --> 00:38:20,181
- No.
- 731
- 00:38:20,731 --> 00:38:22,663
- I did too, you liar.
- 732
- 00:38:23,211 --> 00:38:24,267
- Huh?
- 733
- 00:38:26,051 --> 00:38:27,903
- You okay?
- Yeah.
- 734
- 00:38:28,451 --> 00:38:29,971
- Yeah, yeah,
- I'm good, I'm better.
- 735
- 00:38:30,171 --> 00:38:31,545
- I'm better now, I'm...
- 736
- 00:38:32,091 --> 00:38:33,431
- I miss you.
- 737
- 00:38:34,691 --> 00:38:37,226
- We go for
- the final ascent tomorrow.
- 738
- 00:38:37,731 --> 00:38:40,051
- So, you summit Friday?
- 739
- 00:38:40,251 --> 00:38:41,830
- Yeah, the 10th.
- 740
- 00:38:42,651 --> 00:38:43,691
- It's your lucky day.
- 741
- 00:38:43,891 --> 00:38:45,106
- It is.
- 742
- 00:38:45,931 --> 00:38:47,590
- How's the weather?
- 743
- 00:38:48,091 --> 00:38:49,491
- It's good.
- 744
- 00:38:49,691 --> 00:38:51,702
- Yeah, I think we're
- gonna get a good window.
- 745
- 00:38:52,291 --> 00:38:54,411
- So, it's a girl.
- 746
- 00:38:54,611 --> 00:38:55,731
- Yeah.
- 747
- 00:38:55,931 --> 00:38:58,611
- And did you go to the doctor,
- did you get a scan done?
- 748
- 00:38:58,811 --> 00:38:59,811
- Did you see her?
- 749
- 00:38:59,931 --> 00:39:01,226
- Yeah, sure did.
- 750
- 00:39:03,131 --> 00:39:06,051
- And? Come on.
- What did she look like?
- 751
- 00:39:06,251 --> 00:39:08,931
- Oh, you know.
- Blonde hair, nice smile,
- 752
- 00:39:09,131 --> 00:39:10,227
- perfect
- height-to-weight ratio,
- 753
- 00:39:10,251 --> 00:39:13,104
- she's gonna be a great climber.
- 754
- 00:39:14,291 --> 00:39:15,950
- She's there, Rob.
- 755
- 00:39:16,451 --> 00:39:18,827
- Already.
- Wow.
- 756
- 00:39:19,251 --> 00:39:20,731
- A little me, a little you.
- 757
- 00:39:20,931 --> 00:39:22,465
- A little bear, huh?
- 758
- 00:39:24,291 --> 00:39:26,771
- And then, one day, you
- 759
- 00:39:26,971 --> 00:39:28,311
- and me
- 760
- 00:39:29,291 --> 00:39:30,291
- and our little Sarah,
- 761
- 00:39:30,331 --> 00:39:32,251
- we'll all go climbing
- together. Hmm?
- 762
- 00:39:32,451 --> 00:39:33,700
- Sarah?
- 763
- 00:39:34,771 --> 00:39:36,651
- Yeah, what do you think?
- 764
- 00:39:36,851 --> 00:39:38,771
- No way!
- Come on.
- 765
- 00:39:38,971 --> 00:39:39,971
- No!
- 766
- 00:39:40,051 --> 00:39:41,251
- Please? Think about it.
- 767
- 00:39:41,451 --> 00:39:42,791
- No.
- Huh?
- 768
- 00:39:47,451 --> 00:39:48,611
- You still there?
- 769
- 00:39:48,811 --> 00:39:50,868
- Of course I'm still here.
- 770
- 00:39:53,531 --> 00:39:54,826
- I love you.
- 771
- 00:39:55,651 --> 00:39:57,230
- Love you, too.
- 772
- 00:40:01,811 --> 00:40:03,291
- Sleep well, my love.
- 773
- 00:40:03,491 --> 00:40:05,468
- All right. Bye.
- 774
- 00:41:20,931 --> 00:41:23,731
- Take it easy, now.
- You're gonna be okay.
- 775
- 00:41:23,931 --> 00:41:26,051
- We're gonna get you
- down the hill. All right?
- 776
- 00:41:26,251 --> 00:41:27,571
- Hey, Neal, you okay?
- 777
- 00:41:27,771 --> 00:41:29,589
- Yeah, Dale, he doesn't
- look too good.
- 778
- 00:41:30,531 --> 00:41:31,531
- We need to take him down.
- 779
- 00:41:31,571 --> 00:41:32,891
- Yeah.
- 780
- 00:41:33,091 --> 00:41:34,891
- You can't get
- Scott on the radio?
- 781
- 00:41:35,091 --> 00:41:37,546
- Nope. Nah, I think
- he's up ahead.
- 782
- 00:41:47,851 --> 00:41:49,571
- Best not to stare
- too long at the summit.
- 783
- 00:41:49,771 --> 00:41:52,021
- That's a long way to go, man.
- 784
- 00:41:54,451 --> 00:41:57,571
- Head down, one step at a time.
- 785
- 00:41:57,771 --> 00:41:59,464
- You got it, boss.
- 786
- 00:42:02,251 --> 00:42:03,731
- You seen Dale?
- 787
- 00:42:03,931 --> 00:42:06,611
- Yeah, I did, he wasn't
- looking too good
- 788
- 00:42:06,811 --> 00:42:09,931
- but Neal seemed to have
- a handle on the situation.
- 789
- 00:42:10,131 --> 00:42:11,187
- Tried to get you on the radio.
- 790
- 00:42:11,211 --> 00:42:13,143
- You're kidding me.
- No.
- 791
- 00:42:14,171 --> 00:42:16,342
- This thing's not working, huh?
- 792
- 00:42:17,291 --> 00:42:18,611
- I'm going down to Camp One.
- 793
- 00:42:18,811 --> 00:42:20,787
- If he's not doing so well,
- I'm gonna take him down to Base Camp
- 794
- 00:42:20,811 --> 00:42:23,411
- and I'll head back up.
- You guys all right?
- 795
- 00:42:23,611 --> 00:42:24,860
- Yeah.
- 796
- 00:42:26,291 --> 00:42:28,131
- He can't be too far
- ahead of you, mate.
- 797
- 00:42:28,331 --> 00:42:31,150
- Yeah, I'll make it
- down in half the time.
- 798
- 00:42:32,171 --> 00:42:33,989
- I'm gonna
- catch you! Whoo!
- 799
- 00:42:51,771 --> 00:42:52,771
- Rob to Guy.
- 800
- 00:42:52,811 --> 00:42:55,131
- Rob to Guy, you up there, mate?
- 801
- 00:42:55,331 --> 00:42:57,731
- Yeah, Guy to Rob.
- I'm here.
- 802
- 00:42:57,931 --> 00:42:58,987
- Good to hear you, Gee.
- 803
- 00:42:59,691 --> 00:43:01,251
- Where are you?
- 804
- 00:43:01,451 --> 00:43:03,211
- Camp One, Pumori.
- 805
- 00:43:03,411 --> 00:43:04,626
- Yeah.
- 806
- 00:43:05,611 --> 00:43:08,051
- There you go, I got
- the old sly rotter.
- 807
- 00:43:08,251 --> 00:43:10,786
- Listen, I think you're on
- the wrong mountain, there.
- 808
- 00:43:11,691 --> 00:43:13,651
- Look, I can't talk,
- we gotta get out of here.
- 809
- 00:43:13,851 --> 00:43:14,851
- All right, mate.
- 810
- 00:43:14,891 --> 00:43:16,971
- Well, listen,
- you take care on the kiddie slope.
- 811
- 00:43:17,171 --> 00:43:18,651
- I'm gonna get back
- to the real thing.
- 812
- 00:43:18,851 --> 00:43:22,023
- Yeah, don't worry, Rob.
- I'll keep an eye on you.
- 813
- 00:43:31,011 --> 00:43:32,021
- Ice!
- 814
- 00:43:36,891 --> 00:43:37,947
- Rob!
- 815
- 00:43:39,211 --> 00:43:40,631
- I got you!
- 816
- 00:43:51,051 --> 00:43:52,391
- Harold, you okay?
- 817
- 00:43:56,211 --> 00:43:57,691
- Is everyone okay?
- 818
- 00:43:57,891 --> 00:43:59,504
- We're okay!
- 819
- 00:44:04,731 --> 00:44:06,531
- Come here, sit down, sit.
- 820
- 00:44:06,731 --> 00:44:07,946
- I'm fine.
- 821
- 00:44:09,571 --> 00:44:10,731
- Look at me.
- 822
- 00:44:10,931 --> 00:44:12,051
- Look at me.
- I'm fine, mate.
- 823
- 00:44:12,251 --> 00:44:13,251
- Look at me, Harold!
- 824
- 00:44:13,371 --> 00:44:14,811
- Look, I'm telling you,
- I'm all right.
- 825
- 00:44:14,971 --> 00:44:16,789
- Okay.
- I'm all right.
- 826
- 00:44:19,211 --> 00:44:20,381
- There you go.
- Thank you.
- 827
- 00:44:21,051 --> 00:44:23,427
- Don't do that to me again, eh?
- 828
- 00:44:24,611 --> 00:44:25,985
- I'm sorry.
- 829
- 00:44:27,091 --> 00:44:28,091
- Okay, mate.
- 830
- 00:44:28,251 --> 00:44:29,307
- I'm gonna drop back with Frank,
- 831
- 00:44:29,331 --> 00:44:31,251
- he's struggling a bit,
- all right?
- 832
- 00:44:31,451 --> 00:44:32,871
- All right.
- 833
- 00:44:36,891 --> 00:44:37,901
- Straight down.
- 834
- 00:44:38,891 --> 00:44:40,491
- Let's get him on the oxygen.
- 835
- 00:44:40,691 --> 00:44:42,267
- Rob Hall to Scott Fischer,
- Rob Hall to Scott Fischer,
- 836
- 00:44:42,291 --> 00:44:43,620
- Mountain Madness,
- how do you copy?
- 837
- 00:44:44,331 --> 00:44:46,741
- Hey, man! Scott, here.
- 838
- 00:44:47,331 --> 00:44:49,771
- I've been down to Base Camp,
- and I'm back at Camp One.
- 839
- 00:44:49,971 --> 00:44:51,411
- I'm gonna catch you tomorrow.
- 840
- 00:44:51,611 --> 00:44:54,100
- What, you're not gonna
- rest up a day first? No?
- 841
- 00:44:55,291 --> 00:44:56,870
- Scott, you sound a little rough.
- 842
- 00:44:57,651 --> 00:44:59,091
- Mate, take an extra day.
- 843
- 00:44:59,291 --> 00:45:02,224
- No way, José, what,
- miss out on all the fun?
- 844
- 00:45:02,931 --> 00:45:06,131
- That's a lot of up and down in one day,
- even for you, Scott.
- 845
- 00:45:06,331 --> 00:45:08,468
- You know what they say, man.
- 846
- 00:45:09,291 --> 00:45:12,144
- It's not the altitude,
- it's the attitude.
- 847
- 00:45:13,651 --> 00:45:15,651
- Are you sure
- you're gonna be okay?
- 848
- 00:45:15,851 --> 00:45:16,851
- Scott?
- I'll be good.
- 849
- 00:45:17,051 --> 00:45:19,825
- Just taking a shot
- of dexamethasone now.
- 850
- 00:45:20,771 --> 00:45:24,501
- Well, just don't push yourself
- too hard, okay? Over and out.
- 851
- 00:45:31,331 --> 00:45:34,771
- Rob, I've just been over
- to Mal's to get a weather update.
- 852
- 00:45:34,971 --> 00:45:36,611
- It's moving fast.
- 853
- 00:45:36,811 --> 00:45:39,346
- It's changed course slightly.
- 854
- 00:45:40,331 --> 00:45:43,211
- And it could still go north,
- but, if it doesn't
- 855
- 00:45:43,411 --> 00:45:47,106
- it's gonna hit sometime
- on the 11th, I reckon.
- 856
- 00:45:49,771 --> 00:45:51,891
- It's a weather forecast, Helen.
- 857
- 00:45:52,091 --> 00:45:53,891
- This mountain makes
- its own weather.
- 858
- 00:45:54,091 --> 00:45:55,181
- We're keeping an eye on it.
- 859
- 00:45:56,411 --> 00:45:58,411
- Yeah, sure, just
- letting you know.
- 860
- 00:45:58,611 --> 00:46:00,190
- Appreciate it, Helen.
- 861
- 00:46:02,931 --> 00:46:04,863
- Why do we do this to ourselves?
- 862
- 00:46:09,371 --> 00:46:10,870
- Oh, this is crazy.
- 863
- 00:46:16,531 --> 00:46:18,411
- You know, I never
- told Krakauer this
- 864
- 00:46:18,611 --> 00:46:20,861
- when he was asking us
- why we climb Everest.
- 865
- 00:46:21,611 --> 00:46:23,224
- When I'm at home
- 866
- 00:46:24,851 --> 00:46:26,624
- I just got this big,
- 867
- 00:46:28,051 --> 00:46:30,331
- black cloud following me.
- 868
- 00:46:30,531 --> 00:46:32,668
- You know, like a depression?
- 869
- 00:46:33,931 --> 00:46:35,491
- And when I'm out here
- 870
- 00:46:35,691 --> 00:46:36,891
- on a mountain, any mountain...
- 871
- 00:46:37,011 --> 00:46:38,260
- Yeah?
- 872
- 00:46:39,851 --> 00:46:41,942
- It's just like it's a cure.
- 873
- 00:46:43,691 --> 00:46:45,589
- I feel like I'm reborn.
- 874
- 00:46:46,051 --> 00:46:48,142
- So, you're happy now?
- 875
- 00:46:49,731 --> 00:46:51,822
- No, I'm starting to wonder.
- 876
- 00:46:54,571 --> 00:46:56,423
- This is suffering, man.
- 877
- 00:46:58,051 --> 00:46:59,891
- Yeah.
- This is suffering.
- 878
- 00:47:00,091 --> 00:47:01,431
- Yeah.
- 879
- 00:47:02,251 --> 00:47:04,531
- Suffer a few more days,
- 880
- 00:47:04,731 --> 00:47:06,307
- for the rest of your
- life you'll be a guy
- 881
- 00:47:06,331 --> 00:47:08,581
- that got to the top of Everest.
- 882
- 00:47:08,811 --> 00:47:10,663
- Mmm.
- Huh?
- 883
- 00:47:13,931 --> 00:47:16,102
- I just hope I get there.
- 884
- 00:47:16,771 --> 00:47:18,145
- Yeah.
- 885
- 00:47:19,611 --> 00:47:22,146
- Just hope I get there,
- and get home.
- 886
- 00:47:28,451 --> 00:47:30,189
- What do you think, Mike?
- 887
- 00:47:33,051 --> 00:47:34,411
- Looks pretty good.
- 888
- 00:47:34,611 --> 00:47:37,091
- Little bit of wind, up higher.
- 889
- 00:47:37,291 --> 00:47:39,371
- I mean, if it picks up,
- we can always come back down.
- 890
- 00:47:39,531 --> 00:47:41,781
- Exactly.
- It's your call, Rob.
- 891
- 00:47:42,891 --> 00:47:45,471
- Let's get 'em all going.
- 892
- 00:48:39,931 --> 00:48:40,931
- Rob!
- 893
- 00:48:41,011 --> 00:48:42,181
- You okay?
- 894
- 00:48:42,891 --> 00:48:44,186
- Not good!
- 895
- 00:48:47,811 --> 00:48:48,821
- Ah.
- 896
- 00:48:49,811 --> 00:48:52,731
- I'm hoping it's gonna
- die down after sundown.
- 897
- 00:48:52,931 --> 00:48:54,771
- It's been doing that.
- 898
- 00:48:54,971 --> 00:48:56,411
- I don't like this.
- 899
- 00:48:56,611 --> 00:48:59,571
- Well, we don't go
- if it doesn't calm.
- 900
- 00:48:59,771 --> 00:49:01,851
- I talk to Scott
- when he comes here.
- 901
- 00:49:02,051 --> 00:49:03,061
- Okay.
- 902
- 00:49:16,371 --> 00:49:18,411
- Scott! Scott!
- 903
- 00:49:18,611 --> 00:49:20,190
- Toli?
- Here!
- 904
- 00:49:31,011 --> 00:49:32,011
- Toli!
- 905
- 00:49:32,051 --> 00:49:34,571
- Where's Rob?
- Where are they?
- 906
- 00:49:34,771 --> 00:49:36,111
- We go down!
- No.
- 907
- 00:49:36,771 --> 00:49:39,863
- What's Rob's...
- What's Rob's team doing?
- 908
- 00:49:40,571 --> 00:49:43,902
- He wants to see if this passes.
- 909
- 00:49:44,771 --> 00:49:46,270
- If he waits,
- 910
- 00:49:49,291 --> 00:49:50,331
- we wait.
- 911
- 00:49:50,531 --> 00:49:51,621
- Okay.
- 912
- 00:50:05,571 --> 00:50:07,070
- Hey, guys.
- 913
- 00:50:07,651 --> 00:50:09,662
- Come out and take a look.
- 914
- 00:50:23,771 --> 00:50:26,131
- At least somebody
- up there loves us.
- 915
- 00:50:26,331 --> 00:50:27,626
- Nothing?
- 916
- 00:50:31,331 --> 00:50:33,422
- Where'd the storm go?
- 917
- 00:50:33,811 --> 00:50:35,310
- Exactly.
- 918
- 00:50:36,171 --> 00:50:37,691
- That's crazy.
- 919
- 00:50:37,891 --> 00:50:39,823
- You ready to saddle up?
- 920
- 00:50:42,131 --> 00:50:45,269
- Okay, everyone.
- We got a window.
- 921
- 00:50:46,491 --> 00:50:48,531
- We don't know
- how long it's gonna last,
- 922
- 00:50:48,731 --> 00:50:50,811
- but we're gonna go for it.
- 923
- 00:50:51,011 --> 00:50:52,771
- Be ready in half an hour.
- 924
- 00:50:52,971 --> 00:50:54,267
- We'll have
- a 2:00 p.m. turnaround,
- 925
- 00:50:54,291 --> 00:50:55,411
- let's climb this thing.
- 926
- 00:50:55,611 --> 00:50:56,746
- Okay.
- 927
- 00:51:01,051 --> 00:51:03,142
- So, today's the day, huh?
- 928
- 00:51:03,851 --> 00:51:05,100
- Yep.
- 929
- 00:51:06,811 --> 00:51:08,345
- Now or never.
- 930
- 00:51:11,531 --> 00:51:13,110
- Oh, boy.
- 931
- 00:51:16,491 --> 00:51:18,851
- Now the South Africans
- were late out of Camp Three.
- 932
- 00:51:19,051 --> 00:51:21,051
- They never made
- it into Camp Four.
- 933
- 00:51:21,251 --> 00:51:22,851
- Probably got caught up in it.
- 934
- 00:51:23,051 --> 00:51:24,651
- Maybe it blew through early.
- 935
- 00:51:24,851 --> 00:51:27,171
- Yeah, well, it hit us all night,
- 936
- 00:51:27,371 --> 00:51:30,051
- but now there's nothing.
- Absolutely nothing.
- 937
- 00:51:30,251 --> 00:51:32,371
- So, it's definitely
- worth a shot.
- 938
- 00:51:32,571 --> 00:51:35,390
- I'll radio out and
- tell everyone the news.
- 939
- 00:51:36,251 --> 00:51:37,750
- Any messages?
- 940
- 00:51:38,411 --> 00:51:41,411
- Yeah, ring Jan
- and tell her that we're heading out.
- 941
- 00:51:41,611 --> 00:51:43,211
- I'll call you,
- Helen, in 12 hours
- 942
- 00:51:43,411 --> 00:51:44,851
- when we get to the summit.
- 943
- 00:51:45,051 --> 00:51:46,731
- Turnaround's 2:00 p.m.
- 944
- 00:51:46,931 --> 00:51:48,731
- Good luck,
- and Godspeed to you all.
- 945
- 00:51:48,931 --> 00:51:50,611
- Okay, thanks,
- Helen. Bye-bye.
- 946
- 00:51:50,811 --> 00:51:51,891
- I'll see you guys up there.
- 947
- 00:51:52,011 --> 00:51:53,147
- - Take it easy, Scott.
- - Let's do it.
- 948
- 00:51:53,171 --> 00:51:55,507
- Gonna get a couple hours of sleep,
- and I'll be right behind you.
- 949
- 00:51:55,531 --> 00:51:56,587
- - Yeah, okay.
- - See you at the top.
- 950
- 00:51:56,611 --> 00:51:57,611
- Have fun, Pittman.
- 951
- 00:51:57,731 --> 00:51:59,451
- You get some rest, okay?
- 952
- 00:51:59,651 --> 00:52:00,651
- See you there.
- 953
- 00:52:00,691 --> 00:52:02,331
- You got the ropes
- for the Hillary Step?
- 954
- 00:52:02,531 --> 00:52:03,531
- Yeah.
- 955
- 00:52:03,731 --> 00:52:04,931
- Okay.
- Okay.
- 956
- 00:52:05,131 --> 00:52:06,983
- Okay. Yeah.
- 957
- 00:52:23,251 --> 00:52:24,971
- Can we go any faster?
- 958
- 00:52:25,171 --> 00:52:28,251
- Not a chance we can go faster here.
- It's too difficult.
- 959
- 00:52:28,451 --> 00:52:30,462
- This could take a while.
- 960
- 00:52:31,371 --> 00:52:33,144
- We're losing time.
- 961
- 00:52:59,491 --> 00:53:01,451
- Beck. What's wrong?
- 962
- 00:53:01,651 --> 00:53:03,150
- I don't know.
- 963
- 00:53:05,891 --> 00:53:09,171
- I had an operation a couple years ago,
- on my eyes.
- 964
- 00:53:09,371 --> 00:53:10,666
- That might be it.
- 965
- 00:53:11,331 --> 00:53:13,581
- - I don't know.
- - Okay.
- 966
- 00:53:14,651 --> 00:53:16,371
- You guys go in front of us.
- 967
- 00:53:16,571 --> 00:53:19,629
- All right, Beck,
- let's sit you down.
- 968
- 00:53:25,291 --> 00:53:27,462
- Beck. Look at me.
- 969
- 00:53:29,931 --> 00:53:31,067
- I need to send you
- down with someone.
- 970
- 00:53:31,091 --> 00:53:32,331
- No, I don't wanna go down, Rob.
- 971
- 00:53:32,371 --> 00:53:35,668
- No, you gotta go down.
- I don't wanna go down.
- 972
- 00:53:38,811 --> 00:53:40,026
- Okay.
- 973
- 00:53:42,891 --> 00:53:45,731
- Right, Beck, listen.
- 974
- 00:53:45,931 --> 00:53:48,131
- You can wait here for half an hour.
- Beck, listen to me.
- 975
- 00:53:48,331 --> 00:53:49,671
- If it gets better by then
- 976
- 00:53:50,251 --> 00:53:52,740
- join in the queue
- and keep going up.
- 977
- 00:53:53,371 --> 00:53:55,787
- But if it doesn't get better, Beck,
- I'm sorry, mate, it's over.
- 978
- 00:53:55,811 --> 00:53:56,811
- Okay.
- 979
- 00:53:56,891 --> 00:53:58,147
- The Sherpas are
- gonna go up and drop off
- 980
- 00:53:58,171 --> 00:53:59,670
- the extra oxygen
- at the South Summit
- 981
- 00:54:00,451 --> 00:54:02,211
- then I'm gonna send
- one of them down for you.
- 982
- 00:54:02,371 --> 00:54:04,189
- Is that clear?
- Yeah?
- Mmm-hmm.
- 983
- 00:54:05,971 --> 00:54:07,291
- Okay, mate.
- 984
- 00:54:07,491 --> 00:54:08,865
- All right.
- 985
- 00:54:12,651 --> 00:54:14,105
- See you.
- 986
- 00:54:15,211 --> 00:54:17,331
- Sandy, do you want to go down?
- 987
- 00:54:17,531 --> 00:54:19,651
- What? No. No way.
- 988
- 00:54:19,851 --> 00:54:21,811
- Look, Lopsang,
- I'm gonna make it to the top.
- 989
- 00:54:22,011 --> 00:54:23,021
- Do you understand?
- 990
- 00:54:23,971 --> 00:54:25,411
- Okay.
- I'm not going back.
- 991
- 00:54:25,611 --> 00:54:27,509
- Okay?
- Okay,
- 992
- 00:54:39,531 --> 00:54:40,731
- Where are the ropes?
- 993
- 00:54:40,931 --> 00:54:43,291
- There is no rope!
- No rope.
- 994
- 00:54:43,491 --> 00:54:44,811
- Yeah, they
- should have been fixed.
- 995
- 00:54:44,931 --> 00:54:46,731
- Do you have more in your pack?
- 996
- 00:54:46,931 --> 00:54:49,451
- Lopsang
- has the rope. He's not here!
- 997
- 00:54:49,651 --> 00:54:51,611
- Harold. No ropes?
- 998
- 00:54:51,811 --> 00:54:52,867
- No.
- 999
- 00:54:54,051 --> 00:54:55,051
- Neal.
- 1000
- 00:54:55,171 --> 00:54:56,227
- Hey, Rob.
- 1001
- 00:54:57,251 --> 00:54:58,691
- Listen, we got
- a problem, here, mate.
- 1002
- 00:54:58,891 --> 00:55:02,411
- There's no fixed ropes on the
- traverse to the Hillary Step, over.
- 1003
- 00:55:02,611 --> 00:55:03,851
- Where's Ang Dorjee and Lopsang?
- 1004
- 00:55:03,931 --> 00:55:05,251
- Yeah, I've got Ang Dorjee here,
- 1005
- 00:55:05,451 --> 00:55:06,851
- but there's no sign of Lopsang.
- 1006
- 00:55:07,051 --> 00:55:09,611
- So me, Neal, and Toli are gonna
- 1007
- 00:55:09,811 --> 00:55:11,411
- have to set some new ones, over.
- 1008
- 00:55:11,611 --> 00:55:12,651
- - Find them?
- - Yeah.
- 1009
- 00:55:12,851 --> 00:55:14,749
- Good.
- Let's do it!
- 1010
- 00:55:19,571 --> 00:55:21,051
- What's going on?
- 1011
- 00:55:21,251 --> 00:55:22,811
- No fixed ropes.
- 1012
- 00:55:23,011 --> 00:55:24,067
- What?
- 1013
- 00:55:53,451 --> 00:55:54,851
- That's it.
- 1014
- 00:55:55,051 --> 00:55:57,301
- One step at a time, Doug.
- 1015
- 00:56:05,251 --> 00:56:07,771
- Come on, Dougie.
- Deep breaths, Dougie.
- 1016
- 00:56:07,971 --> 00:56:09,531
- Come on, mate,
- keep it on, keep it on.
- 1017
- 00:56:09,731 --> 00:56:12,425
- Deep breaths, Dougie, hang on.
- Hang on.
- 1018
- 00:56:21,171 --> 00:56:22,971
- You can do this, Dougie.
- 1019
- 00:56:23,171 --> 00:56:24,171
- I know you can, pal.
- 1020
- 00:56:24,371 --> 00:56:25,381
- Yeah.
- 1021
- 00:56:27,091 --> 00:56:29,100
- I don't wanna see you back here
- a third time, mate.
- 1022
- 00:56:29,971 --> 00:56:30,981
- Huh?
- 1023
- 00:56:46,731 --> 00:56:49,710
- John. You headed
- back down?
- 1024
- 00:56:50,971 --> 00:56:52,291
- There's a holdup.
- 1025
- 00:56:52,491 --> 00:56:54,531
- There's no fixed ropes
- above the South Summit.
- 1026
- 00:56:54,731 --> 00:56:55,891
- Yeah, I know, mate,
- 1027
- 00:56:56,091 --> 00:56:57,891
- but we're sorting
- that situation out now.
- 1028
- 00:56:58,091 --> 00:57:01,131
- Ran out of juice,
- waiting. Cold.
- 1029
- 00:57:01,331 --> 00:57:02,731
- I'm sorry, Rob.
- 1030
- 00:57:02,931 --> 00:57:04,704
- It's your call, pal.
- 1031
- 00:57:07,811 --> 00:57:10,731
- I don't wanna run
- out of oxygen up there.
- 1032
- 00:57:10,931 --> 00:57:12,351
- Sorry, Rob.
- 1033
- 00:57:19,171 --> 00:57:20,611
- Yeah, bit of a setback.
- 1034
- 00:57:20,811 --> 00:57:23,771
- Lou, Stuart, and John Taske
- just turned back.
- 1035
- 00:57:23,971 --> 00:57:25,971
- Just below the South Summit.
- 1036
- 00:57:26,171 --> 00:57:27,651
- How are the conditions, so far?
- 1037
- 00:57:27,851 --> 00:57:29,131
- Cold and windy.
- 1038
- 00:57:29,331 --> 00:57:30,571
- Okay, let me know, Rob.
- 1039
- 00:57:30,771 --> 00:57:33,021
- Okay, Helen,
- thanks, bye-bye.
- 1040
- 00:57:34,571 --> 00:57:36,131
- I hope we're not looking at
- another year
- 1041
- 00:57:36,211 --> 00:57:38,891
- with no clients at the top.
- 1042
- 00:57:39,091 --> 00:57:41,051
- Well, if they
- don't get a move on pretty soon
- 1043
- 00:57:41,251 --> 00:57:43,131
- they're out of time,
- aren't they?
- 1044
- 00:57:43,331 --> 00:57:44,421
- Yeah.
- 1045
- 00:57:45,651 --> 00:57:49,301
- And what's Jon gonna say
- about that in his article?
- 1046
- 00:57:49,771 --> 00:57:51,891
- It's Rob. Guys...
- 1047
- 00:57:52,091 --> 00:57:54,211
- We just lost Lou,
- Stu, and John Taske.
- 1048
- 00:57:54,411 --> 00:57:56,451
- What's going on,
- what's the holdup?
- 1049
- 00:57:56,651 --> 00:57:57,971
- Yeah, mate, we're...
- 1050
- 00:57:58,171 --> 00:58:02,371
- We still have Toli and Neal
- at the top of the Step
- 1051
- 00:58:02,571 --> 00:58:03,991
- fixing the ropes.
- 1052
- 00:58:04,771 --> 00:58:07,651
- We're at the base
- of the Step, over.
- 1053
- 00:58:07,851 --> 00:58:09,430
- Rob, it's Mike.
- 1054
- 00:58:10,451 --> 00:58:11,451
- How's Doug faring?
- 1055
- 00:58:11,571 --> 00:58:15,051
- Doug's just behind me,
- I left him behind to scoot forward.
- 1056
- 00:58:15,251 --> 00:58:16,347
- Yeah, I got eyes
- on you right now,
- 1057
- 00:58:16,371 --> 00:58:19,211
- yep, that's me.
- Let's move as...
- 1058
- 00:58:19,411 --> 00:58:21,051
- As quickly as possible, over.
- 1059
- 00:58:21,251 --> 00:58:22,467
- We'll start moving everybody up,
- 1060
- 00:58:22,491 --> 00:58:25,265
- as soon as we get the all clear.
- 1061
- 00:58:25,851 --> 00:58:28,251
- Rob to base, Rob to base,
- how copy, Helen?
- 1062
- 00:58:28,451 --> 00:58:30,731
- - You all right?
- - Copy, Base Camp to Rob.
- 1063
- 00:58:30,931 --> 00:58:32,571
- Have you heard from Scott?
- 1064
- 00:58:32,771 --> 00:58:35,571
- Anyone managed to find out
- where he is, over?
- 1065
- 00:58:35,771 --> 00:58:37,891
- Whoo-ie!
- Yo, dude!
- 1066
- 00:58:38,091 --> 00:58:39,811
- Look, where are you, mate?
- 1067
- 00:58:40,011 --> 00:58:41,627
- We got a real logjam,
- here at the Hillary Step, over.
- 1068
- 00:58:41,651 --> 00:58:43,051
- We're more than an hour behind!
- 1069
- 00:58:43,251 --> 00:58:44,251
- Just Chill.
- 1070
- 00:58:44,331 --> 00:58:46,691
- People are just sitting here,
- using up their oxygen.
- 1071
- 00:58:46,891 --> 00:58:49,028
- Get here as soon as you can.
- 1072
- 00:58:50,771 --> 00:58:52,131
- You feeling okay, Beck?
- 1073
- 00:58:52,331 --> 00:58:55,291
- Yeah, I got a little
- problem with my eyes.
- 1074
- 00:58:55,491 --> 00:58:56,626
- You guys turned back?
- 1075
- 00:58:57,131 --> 00:59:00,428
- There's a logjam below the Hillary Step.
- It's crazy.
- 1076
- 00:59:01,171 --> 00:59:02,491
- Come down with us.
- 1077
- 00:59:02,691 --> 00:59:05,411
- Nah, I can't, promised
- Rob I'd wait for him.
- 1078
- 00:59:05,611 --> 00:59:06,971
- Your call.
- I'm good.
- 1079
- 00:59:07,171 --> 00:59:09,051
- See you down there.
- 1080
- 00:59:09,251 --> 00:59:10,944
- Neal, ready!
- 1081
- 00:59:11,971 --> 00:59:15,348
- Okay, Toli!
- I'm done.
- 1082
- 00:59:16,971 --> 00:59:20,371
- Off rope! Safe to climb!
- 1083
- 00:59:20,571 --> 00:59:21,931
- Okay, we're climbing up!
- 1084
- 00:59:22,131 --> 00:59:23,211
- Hey, Mike.
- What?
- 1085
- 00:59:23,411 --> 00:59:25,051
- You mind if I go first?
- Why?
- 1086
- 00:59:25,251 --> 00:59:26,386
- I'm running pretty low on O.
- 1087
- 00:59:28,611 --> 00:59:30,491
- Rob, it's Mike, here.
- 1088
- 00:59:30,691 --> 00:59:33,491
- We've had the all-clear
- on this end.
- 1089
- 00:59:33,691 --> 00:59:35,051
- I'm gonna stay here with Yasuko,
- 1090
- 00:59:35,251 --> 00:59:37,331
- until we get a clear line.
- 1091
- 00:59:37,531 --> 00:59:41,022
- I'll be here till I get a visual
- on Doug, over and out.
- 1092
- 01:00:33,731 --> 01:00:35,185
- Come here.
- 1093
- 01:00:38,691 --> 01:00:39,826
- We did it!
- 1094
- 01:01:03,691 --> 01:01:05,270
- You did it!
- 1095
- 01:01:34,291 --> 01:01:35,540
- Yasuko.
- 1096
- 01:01:38,451 --> 01:01:39,571
- Seven.
- Seven.
- 1097
- 01:01:39,771 --> 01:01:41,145
- Seven Summits.
- Seven.
- 1098
- 01:01:42,491 --> 01:01:46,091
- Come here. I'm so
- proud of you, Yasuko.
- 1099
- 01:01:46,291 --> 01:01:48,011
- So proud.
- 1100
- 01:01:48,211 --> 01:01:49,585
- Thank you.
- 1101
- 01:01:55,451 --> 01:01:57,462
- Rob to Base, Rob to Base.
- 1102
- 01:02:00,491 --> 01:02:02,811
- Rob, this is Helen, hello?
- Where are you?
- 1103
- 01:02:03,011 --> 01:02:05,500
- I'm on the top of Everest,
- Helen, we made it.
- 1104
- 01:02:06,971 --> 01:02:08,131
- How copy us, over?
- 1105
- 01:02:08,331 --> 01:02:10,131
- We copy you loud and clear, Rob.
- 1106
- 01:02:10,331 --> 01:02:13,091
- It's wonderful to
- hear your voice up there.
- 1107
- 01:02:13,291 --> 01:02:14,491
- Who are you with, again, say?
- 1108
- 01:02:14,691 --> 01:02:16,491
- At the moment,
- I'm with Mike and Yasuko.
- 1109
- 01:02:16,691 --> 01:02:18,291
- - Headed down, Rob.
- - Now you have to go.
- 1110
- 01:02:18,371 --> 01:02:20,211
- Rob.
- See you. Thank you.
- 1111
- 01:02:20,411 --> 01:02:22,811
- Jon K has already been and gone.
- 1112
- 01:02:23,011 --> 01:02:24,611
- Doug is just
- coming over the horizon.
- 1113
- 01:02:24,811 --> 01:02:26,731
- And what about Beck?
- 1114
- 01:02:26,931 --> 01:02:29,451
- Beck was having a problem
- with his eyesight.
- 1115
- 01:02:29,651 --> 01:02:33,731
- He waited on the southeast ridge,
- on the Balcony
- 1116
- 01:02:33,931 --> 01:02:36,131
- for the first people
- that came back, over.
- 1117
- 01:02:36,331 --> 01:02:39,131
- And I guess you'll be
- leaving right away, yes?
- 1118
- 01:02:39,331 --> 01:02:40,771
- We'll be off in a few minutes.
- 1119
- 01:02:40,971 --> 01:02:41,987
- Just as soon as I see Doug,
- 1120
- 01:02:42,011 --> 01:02:43,531
- we'll be heading
- back down, over.
- 1121
- 01:02:43,731 --> 01:02:44,731
- Right, understood.
- 1122
- 01:02:44,811 --> 01:02:46,371
- Well, that's terrific, Rob.
- 1123
- 01:02:46,571 --> 01:02:48,971
- We're all keeping
- our fingers crossed for Doug.
- 1124
- 01:02:49,171 --> 01:02:50,989
- Over and out, Helen.
- 1125
- 01:03:03,211 --> 01:03:05,051
- Congratulations.
- Welcome!
- 1126
- 01:03:05,251 --> 01:03:06,251
- Yeah, Lopsy!
- 1127
- 01:03:06,371 --> 01:03:07,541
- You did it!
- 1128
- 01:03:12,411 --> 01:03:13,421
- Whoo-ie!
- 1129
- 01:03:41,731 --> 01:03:43,504
- You look terrible.
- 1130
- 01:03:44,371 --> 01:03:47,623
- My stomach's not so good, man.
- 1131
- 01:03:48,291 --> 01:03:49,291
- See Doug?
- 1132
- 01:03:49,371 --> 01:03:51,223
- Oh, yeah. He's way, way,
- 1133
- 01:03:52,251 --> 01:03:54,091
- way back there, man.
- 1134
- 01:03:54,291 --> 01:03:57,851
- Hey, Roberto.
- Where are the rest of your guys?
- 1135
- 01:03:58,051 --> 01:04:01,051
- 'Cause I'm pretty
- sure my whole team
- 1136
- 01:04:01,251 --> 01:04:02,571
- made it up, yeah?
- 1137
- 01:04:02,771 --> 01:04:04,145
- I saw 'em.
- 1138
- 01:04:04,651 --> 01:04:06,731
- Don't worry,
- I won't tell Krakauer.
- 1139
- 01:04:06,931 --> 01:04:09,091
- Well done, mate.
- I had a mixed bag.
- 1140
- 01:04:09,291 --> 01:04:11,291
- I'll have to give you this year.
- 1141
- 01:04:11,491 --> 01:04:13,611
- Scott, you really
- don't look too good.
- 1142
- 01:04:13,811 --> 01:04:15,291
- - Lopsang.
- - Yeah?
- 1143
- 01:04:15,491 --> 01:04:17,901
- Come on, mate,
- let's get him down.
- 1144
- 01:04:24,131 --> 01:04:26,791
- All right.
- Let's go.
- 1145
- 01:04:51,611 --> 01:04:54,066
- Harold. What are you doing?
- 1146
- 01:04:55,131 --> 01:04:59,411
- I'm just trying to sort the O.
- I can't find any full ones.
- 1147
- 01:04:59,611 --> 01:05:01,531
- There's full bottles,
- I saw 'em on the way up.
- 1148
- 01:05:01,731 --> 01:05:02,731
- No.
- 1149
- 01:05:02,811 --> 01:05:04,707
- No, I'm pretty sure,
- you should have another look.
- 1150
- 01:05:04,731 --> 01:05:06,931
- No, I just have,
- they're not full.
- 1151
- 01:05:07,131 --> 01:05:08,131
- Harold, listen, I saw...
- 1152
- 01:05:08,211 --> 01:05:10,302
- Look, mate,
- I checked twice, all right?
- 1153
- 01:05:11,331 --> 01:05:14,025
- Yeah. All right, man.
- 1154
- 01:05:15,491 --> 01:05:17,025
- I'm going down.
- 1155
- 01:05:18,851 --> 01:05:20,305
- Harold?
- 1156
- 01:05:28,291 --> 01:05:29,950
- Doug, Doug, Doug.
- 1157
- 01:05:31,531 --> 01:05:32,971
- It's over, mate.
- What?
- 1158
- 01:05:33,171 --> 01:05:34,811
- I'm sorry.
- No, no, no.
- 1159
- 01:05:35,011 --> 01:05:36,943
- Doug, you're too late, okay?
- 1160
- 01:05:38,211 --> 01:05:40,571
- You guys keep going,
- mate, I'll catch up.
- 1161
- 01:05:40,771 --> 01:05:42,571
- Doug, Doug.
- Doug, listen to me.
- 1162
- 01:05:42,771 --> 01:05:44,571
- - It's way too late. It's over.
- - No, come on!
- 1163
- 01:05:44,691 --> 01:05:47,011
- Listen to me, mate, I'm sorry,
- 1164
- 01:05:47,211 --> 01:05:49,531
- but I gotta turn you around.
- 1165
- 01:05:49,731 --> 01:05:50,787
- Okay?
- 1166
- 01:05:51,851 --> 01:05:53,385
- I can do it.
- 1167
- 01:05:54,771 --> 01:05:57,590
- It's right here, man.
- It's right here.
- 1168
- 01:05:58,691 --> 01:06:02,261
- I'm not coming back next year, man,
- it's my last chance.
- 1169
- 01:06:05,611 --> 01:06:07,622
- You gotta let me do this.
- 1170
- 01:06:09,371 --> 01:06:10,950
- Let me do this.
- 1171
- 01:06:11,731 --> 01:06:13,171
- Okay.
- Please, Rob.
- 1172
- 01:06:13,371 --> 01:06:14,451
- Let's do it.
- 1173
- 01:06:14,651 --> 01:06:16,251
- Let's get it done.
- All right.
- 1174
- 01:06:16,451 --> 01:06:18,349
- Come on.
- Thanks, man.
- 1175
- 01:06:22,731 --> 01:06:24,265
- Come on, Doug.
- 1176
- 01:06:44,611 --> 01:06:47,971
- There ain't no hope of getting
- 1177
- 01:06:48,171 --> 01:06:51,980
- My double-wide trailer
- 1178
- 01:06:55,251 --> 01:06:56,371
- There ain't no...
- 1179
- 01:06:56,571 --> 01:06:57,706
- Beck?
- 1180
- 01:06:58,451 --> 01:06:59,651
- Are you okay?
- 1181
- 01:06:59,851 --> 01:07:00,931
- Who is that?
- 1182
- 01:07:01,131 --> 01:07:02,141
- It's Jon.
- 1183
- 01:07:02,811 --> 01:07:06,188
- I'm not seeing too well, Jon.
- I'm freezing.
- 1184
- 01:07:07,891 --> 01:07:09,571
- Mike's just behind me.
- 1185
- 01:07:09,771 --> 01:07:11,931
- He's back there with Yasuko.
- 1186
- 01:07:12,131 --> 01:07:14,811
- You'll be okay.
- Mike's right behind me.
- 1187
- 01:07:15,011 --> 01:07:16,771
- You're okay?
- 1188
- 01:07:16,971 --> 01:07:18,311
- I'll see you down there.
- 1189
- 01:07:24,451 --> 01:07:26,051
- There she is.
- 1190
- 01:07:26,251 --> 01:07:27,261
- Ten more steps, mate.
- 1191
- 01:07:29,891 --> 01:07:32,011
- Dig deep, Doug, dig deep.
- 1192
- 01:07:32,211 --> 01:07:33,665
- There you go.
- 1193
- 01:07:45,131 --> 01:07:46,904
- There ya go.
- 1194
- 01:07:53,371 --> 01:07:54,427
- You made it!
- 1195
- 01:07:55,411 --> 01:07:56,421
- Huh?
- 1196
- 01:08:00,411 --> 01:08:01,785
- You did it!
- 1197
- 01:08:02,651 --> 01:08:05,186
- Because of you, man.
- 1198
- 01:08:14,251 --> 01:08:16,547
- Guy to Rob, you read me, mate?
- 1199
- 01:08:19,251 --> 01:08:21,308
- Guy to Rob, are you there?
- 1200
- 01:08:24,051 --> 01:08:25,869
- For the school kids.
- 1201
- 01:08:32,771 --> 01:08:35,260
- Good on you, Doug.
- Come on.
- 1202
- 01:08:36,171 --> 01:08:37,171
- Easy.
- 1203
- 01:08:37,291 --> 01:08:38,825
- Here, I got it.
- 1204
- 01:08:45,371 --> 01:08:47,211
- Come on, let's get you up.
- 1205
- 01:08:47,411 --> 01:08:48,411
- Need more O.
- 1206
- 01:08:48,531 --> 01:08:49,587
- No, Doug, we can't
- give you more O.
- 1207
- 01:08:49,611 --> 01:08:53,181
- We gotta get down to
- the South Summit, come on.
- 1208
- 01:08:57,491 --> 01:09:00,691
- Guy Cotter to Everest Base Camp.
- You there, Helen?
- 1209
- 01:09:00,891 --> 01:09:03,011
- Guy, this is Helen,
- how's it going?
- 1210
- 01:09:03,211 --> 01:09:04,211
- Yeah, fine.
- 1211
- 01:09:04,251 --> 01:09:05,771
- I got a clear view of the summit
- 1212
- 01:09:05,971 --> 01:09:07,571
- and we've still got
- climbers up there.
- 1213
- 01:09:07,771 --> 01:09:09,611
- They're not any of ours, right?
- 1214
- 01:09:09,811 --> 01:09:12,131
- We got three up,
- and they're all on their way down.
- 1215
- 01:09:12,331 --> 01:09:13,891
- Well, what are they
- doing there so late?
- 1216
- 01:09:13,971 --> 01:09:16,460
- They had a 2:00 turnaround time,
- they're way past it.
- 1217
- 01:09:17,331 --> 01:09:18,947
- Yeah, we got cloud coming up
- through the valley,
- 1218
- 01:09:18,971 --> 01:09:20,211
- it's a lot of it.
- 1219
- 01:09:20,411 --> 01:09:22,900
- Thanks, I'm calling
- them now, Guy.
- 1220
- 01:09:26,331 --> 01:09:28,547
- Rob, come in, this is Helen.
- 1221
- 01:09:30,571 --> 01:09:32,787
- Rob, come in, this is Helen.
- 1222
- 01:09:40,091 --> 01:09:41,091
- Whoa!
- 1223
- 01:09:41,171 --> 01:09:43,291
- Easy, easy, easy, Dougie!
- There you go.
- 1224
- 01:09:43,491 --> 01:09:44,945
- There you go.
- 1225
- 01:09:45,931 --> 01:09:48,307
- Looking good.
- Round the corner.
- 1226
- 01:09:49,651 --> 01:09:50,946
- That's it.
- 1227
- 01:09:53,811 --> 01:09:55,470
- Rob, is that you?
- 1228
- 01:09:56,611 --> 01:09:57,701
- Beck?
- 1229
- 01:09:58,531 --> 01:10:00,651
- It's Mike, Beck.
- What are you doing here?
- 1230
- 01:10:00,851 --> 01:10:02,491
- I can't see, it's bad.
- 1231
- 01:10:02,691 --> 01:10:04,091
- You guys all right?
- 1232
- 01:10:04,291 --> 01:10:05,651
- We got a problem with Beck.
- 1233
- 01:10:05,851 --> 01:10:09,011
- Hey, Mike, we're getting low on O.
- We gotta move.
- 1234
- 01:10:09,211 --> 01:10:10,651
- Gonna get you to stand up, okay?
- 1235
- 01:10:10,851 --> 01:10:11,851
- I'll take Yasuko.
- 1236
- 01:10:11,971 --> 01:10:13,061
- That's it.
- 1237
- 01:10:15,971 --> 01:10:17,266
- I got you.
- 1238
- 01:10:18,571 --> 01:10:19,991
- You're okay.
- 1239
- 01:10:22,291 --> 01:10:24,371
- Doug, come on!
- 1240
- 01:10:24,571 --> 01:10:25,866
- Come on!
- 1241
- 01:10:33,131 --> 01:10:34,380
- I'm cold.
- 1242
- 01:10:39,971 --> 01:10:42,411
- Mike, Harold, Ang Dorjee,
- put the brakes on, guys,
- 1243
- 01:10:42,611 --> 01:10:44,224
- we got a problem.
- 1244
- 01:10:46,011 --> 01:10:47,491
- We're out of gas, Doug.
- 1245
- 01:10:47,691 --> 01:10:49,531
- We're out of gas.
- Need to keep moving, come on.
- 1246
- 01:10:49,651 --> 01:10:50,661
- Come on!
- 1247
- 01:10:53,011 --> 01:10:55,910
- Mike, Harold, do you copy?
- I need someone.
- 1248
- 01:10:56,571 --> 01:10:59,789
- I need someone to come back up
- with oxygen, over.
- 1249
- 01:11:02,211 --> 01:11:04,700
- Somebody, please,
- I'm begging you.
- 1250
- 01:11:05,731 --> 01:11:07,663
- Doug, come on, mate, come on!
- 1251
- 01:11:09,411 --> 01:11:11,548
- Harold, do you copy, over?
- 1252
- 01:11:13,371 --> 01:11:15,747
- Has anyone got
- eyes on Ang Dorjee?
- 1253
- 01:11:16,931 --> 01:11:18,451
- Mate, I've just had Ang Dorjee
- 1254
- 01:11:18,651 --> 01:11:20,371
- go past me, heading down, over.
- 1255
- 01:11:20,571 --> 01:11:22,011
- He's going down.
- 1256
- 01:11:22,211 --> 01:11:23,851
- Can you stop him,
- can you turn him around?
- 1257
- 01:11:24,011 --> 01:11:25,531
- I need someone to
- come back up now.
- 1258
- 01:11:25,731 --> 01:11:27,788
- Hey, Ang Dorjee!
- 1259
- 01:11:29,331 --> 01:11:30,341
- Ang Dorjee!
- 1260
- 01:11:31,611 --> 01:11:33,571
- Base Camp, do you copy, over?
- 1261
- 01:11:33,771 --> 01:11:35,691
- Helen to Rob, go ahead.
- 1262
- 01:11:35,891 --> 01:11:37,891
- Helen, please.
- I need a bottle of gas
- 1263
- 01:11:38,091 --> 01:11:39,909
- at the top of the Hillary Step.
- 1264
- 01:11:40,571 --> 01:11:42,451
- I can't get him down without it.
- 1265
- 01:11:42,651 --> 01:11:44,389
- I'm really stuffed.
- 1266
- 01:11:45,291 --> 01:11:48,291
- Understood that you
- need a bottle of oxygen
- 1267
- 01:11:48,491 --> 01:11:49,931
- at the bottom of
- the Hillary Step.
- 1268
- 01:11:50,131 --> 01:11:52,691
- We are sending it up to you,
- as soon as we can.
- 1269
- 01:11:52,891 --> 01:11:55,346
- At the top, at the top.
- 1270
- 01:11:56,091 --> 01:11:57,851
- The last thing I said
- to Ang Dorjee was
- 1271
- 01:11:58,051 --> 01:12:00,731
- "Please, leave two bottles of gas
- at the South Summit."
- 1272
- 01:12:00,931 --> 01:12:01,941
- Yes.
- 1273
- 01:12:02,611 --> 01:12:03,971
- Copy that, Rob.
- 1274
- 01:12:04,171 --> 01:12:05,171
- Boys,
- 1275
- 01:12:05,251 --> 01:12:08,451
- there's oxygen at
- the South Summit, right?
- 1276
- 01:12:08,651 --> 01:12:10,931
- No, Rob, this is Harold.
- 1277
- 01:12:11,131 --> 01:12:15,571
- There's no oxygen
- at South Summit.
- 1278
- 01:12:15,771 --> 01:12:17,430
- Repeat, no O.
- 1279
- 01:12:18,931 --> 01:12:22,091
- Ang Dorjee stashed
- four bottles there, Harold.
- 1280
- 01:12:22,291 --> 01:12:23,461
- Harold, where are you?
- 1281
- 01:12:26,611 --> 01:12:28,091
- Can you hear me, Harold?
- 1282
- 01:12:28,291 --> 01:12:29,301
- Harold!
- 1283
- 01:12:30,331 --> 01:12:32,011
- Harold, can you hear me?
- 1284
- 01:12:32,211 --> 01:12:33,251
- Think it'll take me about
- 1285
- 01:12:33,451 --> 01:12:35,542
- half an hour to get
- back up to the South Summit.
- 1286
- 01:12:39,931 --> 01:12:42,386
- Okay, I'm coming.
- 1287
- 01:12:44,691 --> 01:12:45,867
- If you don't have oxygen, mate,
- 1288
- 01:12:45,891 --> 01:12:47,091
- don't come up, don't come up.
- 1289
- 01:12:47,291 --> 01:12:48,291
- We're moving on.
- 1290
- 01:12:48,331 --> 01:12:50,388
- I'm coming up to you, Rob.
- 1291
- 01:12:51,371 --> 01:12:53,348
- Doug, come on, mate, come on!
- 1292
- 01:12:58,051 --> 01:13:01,667
- Rob, this is Base Camp.
- 1293
- 01:13:02,651 --> 01:13:04,491
- I copy you, Caro.
- 1294
- 01:13:04,691 --> 01:13:06,987
- Rob, can you get yourself down?
- 1295
- 01:13:08,651 --> 01:13:10,344
- Caro, we're not
- at that point, yet.
- 1296
- 01:13:11,131 --> 01:13:13,268
- Rob, can you let us
- know who you're with?
- 1297
- 01:13:14,851 --> 01:13:16,211
- I'm with Doug.
- 1298
- 01:13:16,411 --> 01:13:17,931
- We're both listening.
- 1299
- 01:13:18,131 --> 01:13:20,651
- Come on, Dougie, come on, mate.
- One more effort, come on.
- 1300
- 01:13:20,851 --> 01:13:23,171
- Rob, what is
- Doug's state of consciousness?
- 1301
- 01:13:23,371 --> 01:13:24,491
- He's really weak.
- 1302
- 01:13:24,691 --> 01:13:27,510
- He collapsed after
- we ran out of oxygen.
- 1303
- 01:13:28,171 --> 01:13:32,026
- Okay, give him eight milligrams
- of dexamethasone.
- 1304
- 01:13:33,051 --> 01:13:35,291
- That's two tablets, Rob.
- 1305
- 01:13:35,491 --> 01:13:36,501
- Guy to Rob.
- 1306
- 01:13:37,931 --> 01:13:39,571
- Go ahead, Guy, I got you, mate.
- 1307
- 01:13:39,771 --> 01:13:42,011
- Rob, I suggest you
- get yourself down.
- 1308
- 01:13:42,211 --> 01:13:43,731
- You know you're
- doing no good up there.
- 1309
- 01:13:43,851 --> 01:13:45,867
- Now, we've got people
- that we can send up to help Doug
- 1310
- 01:13:45,891 --> 01:13:48,371
- but you've gotta get yourself down,
- do you understand?
- 1311
- 01:13:48,571 --> 01:13:50,900
- I mean, come on, man,
- we're playing with a man's life here.
- 1312
- 01:13:51,731 --> 01:13:54,471
- There's no way I'm
- leaving Doug behind.
- 1313
- 01:13:55,891 --> 01:13:57,971
- We gotta keep moving, mate.
- 1314
- 01:13:58,171 --> 01:14:00,387
- No, we gotta keep moving,
- we're in some trouble.
- 1315
- 01:14:00,931 --> 01:14:02,811
- Yeah, Helen's gonna
- need some help
- 1316
- 01:14:03,011 --> 01:14:05,811
- so I'm gonna try and make my way back.
- Okay?
- 1317
- 01:14:06,011 --> 01:14:07,863
- All right. Go on.
- 1318
- 01:14:17,451 --> 01:14:18,931
- Hey, Scott.
- 1319
- 01:14:19,131 --> 01:14:21,108
- Scott! You okay?
- 1320
- 01:14:25,811 --> 01:14:26,981
- Lopsang.
- 1321
- 01:14:27,731 --> 01:14:28,741
- Lopsy!
- 1322
- 01:14:31,131 --> 01:14:32,585
- I'm done, pal.
- 1323
- 01:14:34,411 --> 01:14:35,706
- I'm done.
- 1324
- 01:14:38,051 --> 01:14:40,904
- You go, send Anatoli...
- 1325
- 01:14:42,091 --> 01:14:44,501
- Send Anatoli back with some O.
- 1326
- 01:14:46,771 --> 01:14:47,771
- Okay.
- 1327
- 01:14:47,891 --> 01:14:49,571
- Go!
- Okay.
- 1328
- 01:14:49,771 --> 01:14:52,624
- I will send back Anatoli.
- 1329
- 01:14:59,011 --> 01:15:00,891
- Let's go.
- You go down.
- 1330
- 01:15:01,091 --> 01:15:02,147
- No, mate.
- 1331
- 01:15:02,891 --> 01:15:04,331
- No, I'm not
- leaving you behind, Doug.
- 1332
- 01:15:04,411 --> 01:15:05,931
- Come on!
- Gotta rest.
- 1333
- 01:15:06,131 --> 01:15:07,971
- No, Doug, come on,
- you're coming with me!
- 1334
- 01:15:08,171 --> 01:15:10,182
- I need 10 good minutes,
- Doug, come on!
- 1335
- 01:15:14,531 --> 01:15:16,411
- Please, Dougie, come on, mate.
- 1336
- 01:15:16,611 --> 01:15:18,907
- Ten minutes. We'll get
- to the bottom of the Step.
- 1337
- 01:15:20,131 --> 01:15:21,291
- Come on, this leg.
- 1338
- 01:15:21,491 --> 01:15:23,582
- This leg, Dougie, come on!
- 1339
- 01:15:24,211 --> 01:15:25,506
- Come on.
- 1340
- 01:15:26,211 --> 01:15:27,631
- There we go.
- 1341
- 01:15:47,451 --> 01:15:48,461
- Oh, no.
- 1342
- 01:15:49,011 --> 01:15:50,067
- Oh, no.
- 1343
- 01:15:52,651 --> 01:15:55,823
- Hold that down.
- Come on, come on!
- Get those chairs!
- 1344
- 01:16:36,691 --> 01:16:38,971
- No, no, no, no.
- Come on, Dougie!
- 1345
- 01:16:39,171 --> 01:16:41,228
- Doug, let's go, hurry up!
- 1346
- 01:17:17,091 --> 01:17:20,611
- Doug! I'm gonna go
- to the South Summit to get oxygen.
- 1347
- 01:17:20,811 --> 01:17:24,251
- Okay, mate?
- Gonna find oxygen.
- 1348
- 01:17:24,451 --> 01:17:26,451
- But you've gotta stay here!
- 1349
- 01:17:26,651 --> 01:17:28,531
- Okay? Stay here!
- 1350
- 01:17:28,731 --> 01:17:30,742
- Don't move!
- I'll be back!
- 1351
- 01:17:55,651 --> 01:17:56,946
- Hey, Rob.
- 1352
- 01:18:35,891 --> 01:18:40,251
- Beck! Stop!
- That's the wrong way!
- 1353
- 01:18:40,451 --> 01:18:41,451
- Stop!
- 1354
- 01:18:41,571 --> 01:18:43,787
- Back! Turn back!
- 1355
- 01:19:01,051 --> 01:19:02,550
- Beck, easy!
- 1356
- 01:19:13,611 --> 01:19:14,746
- Rob!
- 1357
- 01:19:18,611 --> 01:19:19,826
- Harold!
- 1358
- 01:19:20,491 --> 01:19:21,547
- Harold!
- 1359
- 01:19:33,851 --> 01:19:35,066
- Rob!
- 1360
- 01:19:37,731 --> 01:19:39,788
- - Harold?
- - I've got oxygen!
- 1361
- 01:19:40,411 --> 01:19:44,106
- Here, I found some
- half-empty ones.
- 1362
- 01:19:45,811 --> 01:19:47,310
- Where's Doug?
- 1363
- 01:19:48,931 --> 01:19:50,385
- Doug's gone.
- 1364
- 01:19:51,811 --> 01:19:53,151
- He's what?
- 1365
- 01:19:53,531 --> 01:19:54,587
- Gone!
- 1366
- 01:20:12,771 --> 01:20:14,331
- Camp Four's that way!
- 1367
- 01:20:14,531 --> 01:20:15,587
- Get up!
- 1368
- 01:20:16,251 --> 01:20:17,591
- Let's go!
- 1369
- 01:20:18,891 --> 01:20:21,585
- Come on! Beck!
- 1370
- 01:20:30,091 --> 01:20:32,148
- I'll get help!
- 1371
- 01:21:10,011 --> 01:21:11,340
- Here!
- 1372
- 01:21:17,291 --> 01:21:18,571
- - Toli!
- - Where are the others?
- 1373
- 01:21:18,771 --> 01:21:19,781
- They're still out there.
- 1374
- 01:21:27,811 --> 01:21:30,091
- Jon! I need help!
- 1375
- 01:21:30,291 --> 01:21:31,291
- What?
- 1376
- 01:21:31,411 --> 01:21:34,451
- They're out there, I need help!
- 1377
- 01:21:34,651 --> 01:21:37,091
- I can't see, Toli.
- 1378
- 01:21:37,291 --> 01:21:38,825
- I'm snow-blind.
- 1379
- 01:21:39,651 --> 01:21:41,185
- Beck, Doug.
- 1380
- 01:21:42,491 --> 01:21:43,731
- They need help.
- 1381
- 01:21:43,931 --> 01:21:45,942
- They're still outside...
- 1382
- 01:21:47,811 --> 01:21:50,505
- I go find them!
- You stay here!
- 1383
- 01:22:05,491 --> 01:22:06,501
- Good job.
- 1384
- 01:22:26,931 --> 01:22:29,651
- Toli!
- Sandy needs O!
- 1385
- 01:22:29,851 --> 01:22:31,589
- Sandy, here!
- 1386
- 01:22:34,571 --> 01:22:36,901
- Can you walk?
- I can't.
- 1387
- 01:22:38,691 --> 01:22:40,384
- I'll come back!
- 1388
- 01:22:41,891 --> 01:22:43,061
- I'll stay!
- 1389
- 01:22:49,651 --> 01:22:51,171
- Here, give me that, come on.
- 1390
- 01:22:51,371 --> 01:22:53,011
- It won't go, it's frozen!
- 1391
- 01:22:53,211 --> 01:22:54,585
- Take this.
- 1392
- 01:22:55,771 --> 01:22:57,020
- The glove.
- 1393
- 01:22:58,571 --> 01:22:59,911
- I'm sorry.
- 1394
- 01:23:12,451 --> 01:23:13,985
- Come on, mate.
- 1395
- 01:23:14,811 --> 01:23:16,060
- Come on, Harold.
- 1396
- 01:23:18,571 --> 01:23:20,469
- Thanks for coming back.
- 1397
- 01:23:41,691 --> 01:23:42,691
- Hello, Base Camp.
- 1398
- 01:23:42,771 --> 01:23:43,931
- Helen, it's Jan.
- 1399
- 01:23:44,131 --> 01:23:47,171
- Why haven't I heard from you?
- Why isn't anybody calling me?
- 1400
- 01:23:47,371 --> 01:23:50,862
- They've been hit by a storm, Jan.
- It's really bad.
- 1401
- 01:23:52,731 --> 01:23:53,851
- Where is he?
- 1402
- 01:23:54,051 --> 01:23:55,983
- We don't know, exactly, but
- 1403
- 01:23:56,611 --> 01:23:58,571
- he was still on
- the summit at 4:00.
- 1404
- 01:23:58,771 --> 01:24:00,942
- Oh, no. Can he get down?
- 1405
- 01:24:01,731 --> 01:24:03,822
- Rob can, but Doug can't.
- 1406
- 01:24:05,331 --> 01:24:07,891
- There's at least 13
- people stranded up there
- 1407
- 01:24:08,091 --> 01:24:10,944
- and, well,
- the storm is getting worse.
- 1408
- 01:24:15,491 --> 01:24:17,051
- Get Ang Dorjee up there.
- 1409
- 01:24:17,251 --> 01:24:18,307
- He'll bring them down.
- 1410
- 01:24:19,531 --> 01:24:21,467
- - Helen, do you understand?
- - Helen! Give me an update!
- 1411
- 01:24:21,491 --> 01:24:23,980
- Get Ang Dorjee up there.
- 1412
- 01:24:24,731 --> 01:24:26,371
- Jan, yeah, we will get him.
- 1413
- 01:24:26,571 --> 01:24:29,171
- And I will call you,
- the minute I hear from him.
- 1414
- 01:24:29,371 --> 01:24:30,771
- As soon as I hear from him.
- 1415
- 01:24:30,971 --> 01:24:31,971
- Thanks, Helen.
- All right?
- 1416
- 01:24:32,171 --> 01:24:33,181
- Okay.
- 1417
- 01:24:33,771 --> 01:24:35,451
- Where is he?
- Guy, I haven't heard from him.
- 1418
- 01:24:35,491 --> 01:24:36,491
- Okay, I'll get him.
- 1419
- 01:24:36,611 --> 01:24:38,131
- I've been trying.
- 1420
- 01:24:38,331 --> 01:24:40,211
- - Guy...
- - Just hang on, hang on.
- 1421
- 01:24:40,411 --> 01:24:42,451
- Rob? It's Guy,
- where are you?
- 1422
- 01:24:42,651 --> 01:24:44,571
- Guy, I've been doing that
- for the last two hours.
- 1423
- 01:24:44,651 --> 01:24:46,662
- All right.
- Rob, it's Guy.
- 1424
- 01:24:47,411 --> 01:24:49,149
- - Just keep your energy, mate.
- - Helen.
- 1425
- 01:24:49,891 --> 01:24:52,691
- Once you catch a break,
- you move, you know the drill.
- 1426
- 01:24:52,891 --> 01:24:55,691
- We've got a stash of oxygen
- on the South Col.
- 1427
- 01:24:55,891 --> 01:24:56,947
- Whoever needs it can have it.
- 1428
- 01:24:56,971 --> 01:24:58,011
- That's the way, thank you.
- 1429
- 01:24:58,091 --> 01:24:59,691
- Mal's team are gonna
- go up, they're gonna
- 1430
- 01:24:59,851 --> 01:25:01,651
- mount a search as
- soon as they can.
- 1431
- 01:25:01,851 --> 01:25:04,611
- Anyone who's going,
- we're gonna leave at dawn,
- weather permitting.
- 1432
- 01:25:04,811 --> 01:25:05,811
- Of course, Helen.
- At dawn.
- 1433
- 01:25:05,851 --> 01:25:06,851
- That's great, David.
- 1434
- 01:25:07,051 --> 01:25:08,987
- Go let Ed know what's going on,
- I'll be right behind you.
- 1435
- 01:25:09,011 --> 01:25:11,131
- Camp Four, come in.
- 1436
- 01:25:11,331 --> 01:25:13,251
- Rob. Rob, can
- you hear me?
- 1437
- 01:25:13,451 --> 01:25:15,531
- David Breashears
- has a stash of oxygen
- 1438
- 01:25:15,731 --> 01:25:17,981
- at the South Col
- that we can use.
- 1439
- 01:25:19,171 --> 01:25:20,747
- All right, mate,
- we're organizing a team,
- 1440
- 01:25:20,771 --> 01:25:22,544
- we're coming to get you.
- 1441
- 01:25:41,291 --> 01:25:42,426
- Hot.
- 1442
- 01:25:45,411 --> 01:25:46,785
- Burning up.
- 1443
- 01:26:07,291 --> 01:26:08,540
- No, no.
- 1444
- 01:26:10,171 --> 01:26:11,261
- Yasuko.
- 1445
- 01:26:14,771 --> 01:26:15,986
- Sandy?
- 1446
- 01:26:23,251 --> 01:26:24,591
- Come on!
- 1447
- 01:27:19,851 --> 01:27:23,387
- Rob, talk to me,
- please. Pick up.
- 1448
- 01:27:28,411 --> 01:27:30,309
- Pick up, mate, please.
- 1449
- 01:27:58,131 --> 01:27:59,651
- Is there any word on the others?
- 1450
- 01:27:59,851 --> 01:28:01,611
- Anatoli managed to
- get three clients back
- 1451
- 01:28:01,811 --> 01:28:04,300
- from the South Col last night,
- 1452
- 01:28:04,691 --> 01:28:07,131
- but Beck and Yasuko
- are still out there.
- 1453
- 01:28:07,331 --> 01:28:08,547
- They're trying to mount a search
- 1454
- 01:28:08,571 --> 01:28:10,380
- but everyone
- who's been up there is exhausted.
- 1455
- 01:28:14,171 --> 01:28:15,830
- Rob, is that you?
- 1456
- 01:28:16,731 --> 01:28:19,903
- Rob, where are you?
- We're sending people for you.
- 1457
- 01:28:20,851 --> 01:28:22,783
- Rob, this is Base Camp.
- 1458
- 01:28:26,011 --> 01:28:27,971
- I can't... I can't move...
- 1459
- 01:28:28,171 --> 01:28:30,911
- I can't move anymore.
- Anymore.
- 1460
- 01:28:32,731 --> 01:28:34,507
- Hey, mate. Yeah, I know.
- I know, mate. I know.
- 1461
- 01:28:34,531 --> 01:28:36,531
- But you gotta keep on moving.
- 1462
- 01:28:36,731 --> 01:28:38,371
- My hands...
- 1463
- 01:28:38,571 --> 01:28:41,265
- I can't feel my hands,
- they're frozen.
- 1464
- 01:28:44,411 --> 01:28:46,422
- Gotta de-ice my mask.
- 1465
- 01:28:47,091 --> 01:28:49,451
- I gotta de-ice my mask.
- 1466
- 01:28:49,651 --> 01:28:52,011
- That's good. Yeah,
- you gotta get that mask working. Yeah?
- 1467
- 01:28:52,211 --> 01:28:53,531
- The sun's gonna come up and,
- 1468
- 01:28:53,731 --> 01:28:55,971
- you know,
- you can get warmer,
- you can get moving.
- 1469
- 01:28:56,171 --> 01:28:57,891
- Guy.
- Yeah?
- 1470
- 01:28:58,091 --> 01:29:00,851
- Guy. Harold was here.
- 1471
- 01:29:01,051 --> 01:29:02,051
- Where's he gone?
- 1472
- 01:29:02,251 --> 01:29:04,501
- Rob, is Doug with you?
- 1473
- 01:29:06,531 --> 01:29:07,891
- Harold...
- 1474
- 01:29:08,091 --> 01:29:10,990
- Doug... Doug's gone.
- 1475
- 01:29:13,211 --> 01:29:14,631
- Harold's gone.
- 1476
- 01:29:18,451 --> 01:29:20,622
- I'm gonna need a little help.
- 1477
- 01:29:22,131 --> 01:29:23,931
- Okay, Rob,
- you gotta get yourself down.
- 1478
- 01:29:24,131 --> 01:29:25,949
- Where are you?
- 1479
- 01:29:30,931 --> 01:29:32,101
- Guy...
- 1480
- 01:29:32,571 --> 01:29:34,411
- I'm in that little...
- 1481
- 01:29:34,611 --> 01:29:37,783
- In that little dip just
- below the South Summit.
- 1482
- 01:29:38,571 --> 01:29:39,771
- All right.
- You can do this.
- 1483
- 01:29:39,971 --> 01:29:41,091
- You just gotta, you know,
- 1484
- 01:29:41,291 --> 01:29:42,507
- pull yourself up out of that dip
- 1485
- 01:29:42,531 --> 01:29:44,331
- and slide the rest of the way.
- 1486
- 01:29:44,531 --> 01:29:46,731
- Guy, send the boys.
- 1487
- 01:29:46,931 --> 01:29:48,291
- Okay?
- 1488
- 01:29:48,491 --> 01:29:50,771
- I'm gonna need a little help.
- 1489
- 01:29:50,971 --> 01:29:52,227
- We've got some
- Sherpas coming up there
- 1490
- 01:29:52,251 --> 01:29:53,531
- with tea, oxygen.
- 1491
- 01:29:53,731 --> 01:29:55,691
- You just gotta
- come on down, mate.
- 1492
- 01:29:55,891 --> 01:29:57,664
- Yeah? Come on down.
- 1493
- 01:29:59,651 --> 01:30:00,707
- Rob.
- 1494
- 01:30:05,971 --> 01:30:07,771
- Can you patch Jan through?
- 1495
- 01:30:07,971 --> 01:30:09,131
- To Rob?
- 1496
- 01:30:09,331 --> 01:30:10,571
- Patch her through, yeah?
- 1497
- 01:30:10,771 --> 01:30:12,331
- Let's just try it.
- Let's just...
- 1498
- 01:30:12,531 --> 01:30:15,066
- Put the sat phone
- next to the radio.
- 1499
- 01:30:16,251 --> 01:30:19,662
- Yeah, if anyone can motivate him to move,
- then Jan will.
- 1500
- 01:30:20,411 --> 01:30:22,051
- Guy to Rob.
- 1501
- 01:30:22,251 --> 01:30:23,671
- Guy to Rob.
- 1502
- 01:30:26,651 --> 01:30:28,788
- Guy to Rob.
- Can you read me?
- 1503
- 01:30:34,131 --> 01:30:35,507
- We're just getting...
- Rob, are you there?
- 1504
- 01:30:35,531 --> 01:30:37,702
- We're getting him now.
- Here.
- 1505
- 01:30:39,491 --> 01:30:41,184
- Rob, this is Helen.
- 1506
- 01:30:43,371 --> 01:30:44,461
- Copy.
- 1507
- 01:30:45,131 --> 01:30:47,222
- Rob, I've got Jan for you.
- 1508
- 01:30:49,771 --> 01:30:51,171
- My Jan?
- 1509
- 01:30:51,371 --> 01:30:52,371
- Yeah, she's just here.
- 1510
- 01:30:52,451 --> 01:30:53,651
- Jan, you're on.
- 1511
- 01:30:53,851 --> 01:30:55,021
- Okay.
- 1512
- 01:30:56,011 --> 01:30:58,421
- Hi, sweetheart,
- how are you doing?
- 1513
- 01:31:01,891 --> 01:31:03,291
- Hi, my love.
- 1514
- 01:31:03,491 --> 01:31:04,501
- I'm a bit...
- 1515
- 01:31:05,011 --> 01:31:06,351
- A bit cold
- 1516
- 01:31:07,491 --> 01:31:09,171
- but I'm okay.
- 1517
- 01:31:09,371 --> 01:31:10,971
- I know you are.
- 1518
- 01:31:11,171 --> 01:31:13,387
- But the sun'll warm you soon.
- 1519
- 01:31:14,251 --> 01:31:15,307
- Sweetheart?
- 1520
- 01:31:16,051 --> 01:31:17,983
- You've gotta get moving.
- 1521
- 01:31:18,531 --> 01:31:21,066
- You've gotta come on down.
- 1522
- 01:31:21,811 --> 01:31:23,265
- My hands
- 1523
- 01:31:26,211 --> 01:31:27,585
- are frozen.
- 1524
- 01:31:30,891 --> 01:31:32,709
- My feet are frozen.
- 1525
- 01:31:34,051 --> 01:31:37,251
- We're sending people
- up to you with tea and O's.
- 1526
- 01:31:37,451 --> 01:31:40,669
- But you've gotta get moving.
- Rob? Can you hear me?
- 1527
- 01:31:41,251 --> 01:31:43,451
- You've gotta get
- your circulation going.
- 1528
- 01:31:43,651 --> 01:31:45,230
- Okay, my love.
- 1529
- 01:31:45,931 --> 01:31:48,944
- You do it...
- You do it right now.
- 1530
- 01:31:51,491 --> 01:31:52,911
- I love you.
- 1531
- 01:31:54,211 --> 01:31:55,506
- Over and out.
- 1532
- 01:32:05,931 --> 01:32:07,624
- Come on, Rob.
- 1533
- 01:32:57,731 --> 01:32:59,549
- We can't carry them.
- 1534
- 01:33:01,171 --> 01:33:02,851
- It's not possible.
- 1535
- 01:33:03,051 --> 01:33:04,061
- It's gonna...
- 1536
- 01:33:06,291 --> 01:33:08,131
- It's gonna take all we got
- 1537
- 01:33:08,331 --> 01:33:10,422
- just to get ourselves down.
- 1538
- 01:33:12,651 --> 01:33:14,503
- I don't wanna die, man.
- 1539
- 01:33:19,051 --> 01:33:21,586
- Helen, it's Mike here.
- Do you copy?
- 1540
- 01:33:22,811 --> 01:33:24,331
- Come in, Mike.
- What do you got?
- 1541
- 01:33:24,531 --> 01:33:27,291
- Yasuko and Beck
- 1542
- 01:33:27,491 --> 01:33:29,707
- did not make it back to camp.
- 1543
- 01:33:34,531 --> 01:33:37,828
- Okay, Mike. Thanks
- for letting us know.
- 1544
- 01:34:11,891 --> 01:34:13,186
- Meg?
- 1545
- 01:34:16,091 --> 01:34:17,226
- Bub?
- 1546
- 01:34:50,131 --> 01:34:51,824
- Helen Base Camp.
- Helen Base Camp.
- 1547
- 01:34:52,691 --> 01:34:54,304
- Helen Base Camp.
- 1548
- 01:34:55,411 --> 01:34:57,091
- Ang Dorjee, this is Helen.
- 1549
- 01:34:57,291 --> 01:34:58,904
- We have to turn back!
- 1550
- 01:34:59,531 --> 01:35:01,622
- There is a very bad storm again.
- 1551
- 01:35:03,451 --> 01:35:05,331
- Your call, Ang Dorjee.
- Sorry.
- 1552
- 01:35:05,531 --> 01:35:08,371
- We'll try to again
- when the storm's passed.
- 1553
- 01:35:08,571 --> 01:35:11,868
- We'll leave some tea
- and oxygen here. Sorry.
- 1554
- 01:35:19,051 --> 01:35:21,188
- We have to tell Rob
- they're not coming.
- 1555
- 01:35:22,931 --> 01:35:24,305
- Okay.
- 1556
- 01:35:33,451 --> 01:35:34,451
- Hey, Rob, it's Guy, mate.
- 1557
- 01:35:34,651 --> 01:35:35,946
- Guy.
- 1558
- 01:35:37,891 --> 01:35:40,710
- Can't stop shaking, mate.
- 1559
- 01:35:41,931 --> 01:35:44,771
- The boys have hit
- a bit of high wind.
- 1560
- 01:35:44,971 --> 01:35:47,904
- And your best shot is
- gonna be to get lower.
- 1561
- 01:35:50,651 --> 01:35:52,469
- Let me think about it.
- 1562
- 01:35:55,091 --> 01:35:57,944
- I think I can hang
- out here another night.
- 1563
- 01:36:03,331 --> 01:36:05,820
- We'll try again
- first thing, okay?
- 1564
- 01:37:14,571 --> 01:37:17,106
- Helen?
- Yeah.
- 1565
- 01:37:17,771 --> 01:37:19,828
- Yeah, he's still there.
- 1566
- 01:37:20,811 --> 01:37:23,266
- He's just below
- the South Summit.
- 1567
- 01:37:23,931 --> 01:37:28,411
- He's got oxygen,
- but it's iced up.
- 1568
- 01:37:28,611 --> 01:37:31,703
- We don't know whether
- he's been able to free it.
- 1569
- 01:37:33,891 --> 01:37:35,731
- Is anybody with him?
- 1570
- 01:37:35,931 --> 01:37:37,385
- No.
- 1571
- 01:37:37,931 --> 01:37:39,226
- No.
- 1572
- 01:37:40,091 --> 01:37:41,307
- You have to get
- him down before dark.
- 1573
- 01:37:41,331 --> 01:37:43,331
- He won't survive another night.
- 1574
- 01:37:43,531 --> 01:37:44,780
- We know.
- 1575
- 01:37:46,291 --> 01:37:49,224
- But the storm's
- come back, real bad.
- 1576
- 01:37:50,731 --> 01:37:53,491
- We can't get anyone
- up to him tonight.
- 1577
- 01:37:53,691 --> 01:37:54,986
- We tried.
- 1578
- 01:37:58,811 --> 01:38:01,141
- He might as well be on the moon.
- 1579
- 01:38:03,811 --> 01:38:04,821
- Uh...
- 1580
- 01:38:07,131 --> 01:38:09,451
- Can you put me
- on with him again?
- 1581
- 01:38:09,651 --> 01:38:10,991
- Of course.
- 1582
- 01:38:14,291 --> 01:38:16,348
- Guy, get Rob.
- 1583
- 01:38:20,771 --> 01:38:22,350
- Hey, Rob, it's Guy.
- 1584
- 01:38:23,811 --> 01:38:25,788
- I've got Jan for you.
- 1585
- 01:38:26,491 --> 01:38:30,186
- Hold on.
- Give me a sec.
- 1586
- 01:38:44,851 --> 01:38:45,986
- Okay.
- 1587
- 01:38:54,971 --> 01:38:56,550
- Hi, sweetheart.
- 1588
- 01:38:57,931 --> 01:38:59,544
- How are you?
- 1589
- 01:39:02,291 --> 01:39:04,621
- I'm thinking about you.
- 1590
- 01:39:08,531 --> 01:39:10,190
- You sound good.
- 1591
- 01:39:12,851 --> 01:39:14,703
- Are you warm, my love?
- 1592
- 01:39:15,771 --> 01:39:18,147
- I might have a little frostbite.
- 1593
- 01:39:20,491 --> 01:39:23,424
- I'm looking forward to
- making it all better.
- 1594
- 01:39:26,371 --> 01:39:28,542
- I can't wait for you
- to come home.
- 1595
- 01:39:31,891 --> 01:39:33,265
- How's Sarah?
- 1596
- 01:39:34,211 --> 01:39:35,585
- Sarah?
- 1597
- 01:39:36,491 --> 01:39:37,865
- Yeah.
- 1598
- 01:39:39,531 --> 01:39:41,429
- Yeah, Sarah's good.
- 1599
- 01:39:43,251 --> 01:39:45,866
- Will you call her that for me?
- 1600
- 01:39:46,251 --> 01:39:47,989
- Yes, I will.
- 1601
- 01:39:50,731 --> 01:39:53,744
- I don't think
- I'm gonna get to meet her.
- 1602
- 01:39:57,331 --> 01:39:59,183
- I'm so sorry.
- 1603
- 01:40:04,011 --> 01:40:05,590
- Don't say that.
- 1604
- 01:40:07,931 --> 01:40:10,131
- If anyone can make it, you can.
- 1605
- 01:40:10,331 --> 01:40:11,865
- Remember?
- 1606
- 01:40:16,171 --> 01:40:17,625
- I love you.
- 1607
- 01:40:19,411 --> 01:40:21,946
- Please don't worry too much.
- 1608
- 01:40:28,291 --> 01:40:30,348
- Good night, my love.
- 1609
- 01:40:44,051 --> 01:40:45,983
- I love you, Rob.
- 1610
- 01:40:50,131 --> 01:40:51,665
- I love you.
- 1611
- 01:44:15,651 --> 01:44:17,185
- Beck?
- 1612
- 01:44:20,331 --> 01:44:22,263
- Helen, it's Mike here.
- 1613
- 01:44:22,851 --> 01:44:24,624
- Helen, do you copy?
- 1614
- 01:44:25,171 --> 01:44:26,651
- Mike, come in.
- 1615
- 01:44:26,851 --> 01:44:28,491
- Beck's still alive.
- 1616
- 01:44:28,691 --> 01:44:30,731
- He walked himself into camp.
- 1617
- 01:44:30,931 --> 01:44:32,971
- David Breashears
- and the IMAX team
- 1618
- 01:44:33,171 --> 01:44:35,342
- are gonna get him
- down to Camp One.
- 1619
- 01:44:37,771 --> 01:44:39,270
- Thanks, Mike.
- 1620
- 01:44:43,251 --> 01:44:46,582
- We don't even
- know how, but he is alive.
- 1621
- 01:44:47,571 --> 01:44:48,706
- The thing is, Peach,
- 1622
- 01:44:49,411 --> 01:44:51,051
- we can't get him
- down the Icefall.
- 1623
- 01:44:51,251 --> 01:44:52,411
- Oh, no, I'll get him down.
- 1624
- 01:44:52,611 --> 01:44:54,691
- I'll get him down. Okay.
- 1625
- 01:44:54,891 --> 01:44:57,691
- Okay, what do we need?
- We need a helicopter, right?
- 1626
- 01:44:57,891 --> 01:45:00,531
- Yeah, but they can't take
- a helicopter up that high
- 1627
- 01:45:00,731 --> 01:45:02,424
- because the air is too thin.
- 1628
- 01:45:02,971 --> 01:45:05,691
- We should try,
- but it is one heck of a risk.
- 1629
- 01:45:05,891 --> 01:45:07,531
- And he's not in
- a good way, Peach,
- 1630
- 01:45:07,731 --> 01:45:09,947
- so I don't want you to get
- your hopes up too high.
- 1631
- 01:45:15,571 --> 01:45:17,309
- One step at a time.
- 1632
- 01:45:20,611 --> 01:45:21,731
- You gotta keep moving.
- Tired.
- 1633
- 01:45:21,891 --> 01:45:22,891
- I know.
- I'm tired.
- 1634
- 01:45:23,091 --> 01:45:25,102
- I know you are. Come on.
- 1635
- 01:45:27,411 --> 01:45:29,070
- Slow and steady.
- 1636
- 01:45:30,731 --> 01:45:32,971
- Come on, keep moving.
- 1637
- 01:45:33,171 --> 01:45:34,531
- Yes, I'd like the number
- 1638
- 01:45:34,731 --> 01:45:37,425
- of the American Embassy
- in Kathmandu, Nepal.
- 1639
- 01:45:38,051 --> 01:45:40,211
- Yes, Nepal.
- Ambassador, please.
- 1640
- 01:45:40,411 --> 01:45:41,731
- No, sweets, I can't hold.
- 1641
- 01:45:41,931 --> 01:45:44,251
- No, you listen, sir,
- my husband's already died once
- 1642
- 01:45:44,451 --> 01:45:45,731
- as you'll have seen on the news.
- 1643
- 01:45:45,931 --> 01:45:47,411
- Trust me, having him
- die a second time
- 1644
- 01:45:47,451 --> 01:45:49,827
- is not gonna play well on CNN.
- 1645
- 01:45:50,451 --> 01:45:52,189
- There we go, buddy.
- 1646
- 01:45:53,251 --> 01:45:55,183
- That's it, all right.
- 1647
- 01:46:00,411 --> 01:46:01,411
- Mike.
- 1648
- 01:46:01,491 --> 01:46:02,501
- Mmm-hmm.
- 1649
- 01:46:03,571 --> 01:46:04,571
- How you doing?
- 1650
- 01:46:04,731 --> 01:46:06,822
- Oh, you know, fair to middling.
- 1651
- 01:46:07,731 --> 01:46:09,151
- Warming up?
- 1652
- 01:46:10,131 --> 01:46:11,790
- I'm not sure yet.
- 1653
- 01:46:12,491 --> 01:46:14,980
- Look like you are, a little bit.
- 1654
- 01:46:16,971 --> 01:46:18,823
- How's Rob doing?
- 1655
- 01:46:21,771 --> 01:46:24,067
- Rob's still up there right now.
- 1656
- 01:46:26,611 --> 01:46:28,668
- And Doug?
- What's he up to?
- 1657
- 01:46:33,771 --> 01:46:35,669
- Doug's gone, Beck.
- 1658
- 01:46:51,611 --> 01:46:52,827
- I don't know,
- no one's ever tried
- 1659
- 01:46:52,851 --> 01:46:54,251
- to fly higher than
- Base Camp before,
- 1660
- 01:46:54,371 --> 01:46:56,051
- they're gonna give it a go.
- 1661
- 01:46:56,251 --> 01:46:58,691
- You find an LZ,
- just mark it out with whatever you can.
- 1662
- 01:46:58,891 --> 01:47:01,251
- Okay, worth a try.
- Thanks, Guy.
- 1663
- 01:47:01,451 --> 01:47:02,771
- Yeah?
- Grab a Gatorade.
- 1664
- 01:47:02,971 --> 01:47:05,131
- Got a chopper coming in,
- we need to make an LZ.
- 1665
- 01:47:05,331 --> 01:47:07,502
- We got a chopper coming in!
- 1666
- 01:47:08,851 --> 01:47:10,703
- Clear everyone
- back to the tents!
- 1667
- 01:47:11,491 --> 01:47:12,491
- Thanks.
- 1668
- 01:47:12,531 --> 01:47:14,251
- Keep it clear,
- keep this whole area clear.
- 1669
- 01:47:14,451 --> 01:47:15,451
- Back away.
- 1670
- 01:47:15,531 --> 01:47:17,508
- Come on, come on.
- 1671
- 01:47:22,251 --> 01:47:23,780
- Army 45, keep updating.
- 1672
- 01:47:24,371 --> 01:47:26,587
- Lukla Tower, we're doing fine.
- 1673
- 01:47:32,171 --> 01:47:34,262
- It's not possible!
- 1674
- 01:47:34,531 --> 01:47:36,588
- You land here,
- we'll never get back up.
- 1675
- 01:47:41,891 --> 01:47:43,211
- Gonna kill us!
- 1676
- 01:47:43,411 --> 01:47:45,229
- Okay, Major, let's go back.
- 1677
- 01:48:04,011 --> 01:48:05,011
- That's it!
- 1678
- 01:48:05,051 --> 01:48:07,531
- We can't get any more out.
- It's as light as we're gonna get it!
- 1679
- 01:48:07,731 --> 01:48:09,469
- Time to go then, Major.
- 1680
- 01:48:23,451 --> 01:48:25,428
- Right here, right here!
- 1681
- 01:48:27,771 --> 01:48:29,669
- Come on!
- You can do it!
- 1682
- 01:48:58,691 --> 01:49:01,306
- Come on, buddy.
- You're nearly there.
- 1683
- 01:49:04,651 --> 01:49:06,230
- Okay, come on.
- 1684
- 01:49:09,211 --> 01:49:10,731
- One person.
- Only one person.
- 1685
- 01:49:10,931 --> 01:49:13,651
- Yeah, it's just him, just one!
- There.
- 1686
- 01:49:13,851 --> 01:49:15,305
- There you go.
- 1687
- 01:49:18,531 --> 01:49:19,951
- You're good!
- 1688
- 01:49:20,531 --> 01:49:23,611
- I'm going to lift the tail up,
- to fly us over the edge.
- 1689
- 01:49:23,811 --> 01:49:25,891
- Fall a bit, until
- the blades catch on the air.
- 1690
- 01:49:26,091 --> 01:49:27,171
- Is that okay with you?
- 1691
- 01:49:27,371 --> 01:49:29,382
- - I'm with you.
- - Good man.
- 1692
- 01:50:48,891 --> 01:50:51,870
- Get yourself inside, go on.
- 1693
- 01:50:55,011 --> 01:50:56,260
- Oh, Anatoli.
- 1694
- 01:51:02,611 --> 01:51:05,331
- I'm so sorry, Helen.
- 1695
- 01:51:05,531 --> 01:51:07,747
- Come on, let's get you inside.
- 1696
- 01:51:29,611 --> 01:51:30,951
- Hi, Peachy.
- 1697
- 01:51:35,931 --> 01:51:37,146
