Come on, theyre doing us a favor,|we dont need all this stuff!

All we needs each other. Ourselves!|As a team, Claiborne, like you said!

These men will stay,|Mr. Claiborne.

Im with Taylor.

Hold it! Hold it here!

I got it.

I got it!

Got it too!

I got it!

-Bring me the other end!|-Taylor!

I cant see it!

-I cant see it!|-There must be right there.

I got it!

This is such a great book.|Listen to this.

You will survive if you fight|quickly and perish if you do not.

This is called the Dying Ground.

Upon 'Dying Ground or as it|were sitting in a leaking boat...

lying in a burning house.

Have you got your|strategy down yet?

-I dunno. What do you mean?|-Just what I said.

Well, what s your strategy?

Mine is mine.|It s not gonna work for you.

-Nobody can climb a mountain for you.|-I know that.

What are you saying? It s every man|for himself from here on, then?

Well, if it comes down to that...

youve got to be able|to deal with it, sure.

Oh, okay...

I get it.

Do you?

Anything can happen up here.|Anything.

Dont rely on anybody but yourself.|That s all Im trying to say.

Claibornes really|sucking the Os, eh?

-Well make this Camp 1. OK by you?|-It s fine by us.

Claiborne seems to be struggling.

He always takes a couple of days|to acclimatize. Hell be okay.

Yeah. Drink some. Dehydrations|a killer at about 20,OOO feet.

-Were at 20,OOO feet already?|-Welcome to the Death Zone.

If we get to Base Camp by noon...

we should be able to get the|equipment up to Camp Two by tonight.

-We can come back down here.|-No need for that.

-Go to Camp 2. lll meet you there.|-Well see you later.

-Good luck.|-Okay, thanks.

-What s up?|-You ready?

You wanna lead today?

-Yes, sounds good to me.|-Okay.

Be ready to leave in half hour.

Camp 2 to Base,|do you read me? Over.

Hey, Dallas. Base Camp|reading you. Over.

Were ready for you here.|Is everything okay? Over.

Everythings fine. Well be starting|out in about 30 minutes. Over.

Were gonna push on,|lay rope to three. Over.

Repeat,you're breaking up.|Repeat.

Were pushing on. Lay rope to three.|Well see you here tonight. Over.

Sounds good. Over.

Hey, guys!|Were gonna push on to three.

-Right now?|-What s the matter?

I feel like I just f***ing died,|that s what s the matter.

Me too.

I tell you what. Stay here and rest.|lll go to three lay ropes myself.

Im coming with you!

-Be ready in about half an hour?|-Half an hour is fine.

-Feel good?|-I feel great.

-Can you have them ready in 30 min?|-That should be an hour, maybe.

-What you think when you climb?|-Sex.

Sex youve had|or sex youre gonna have?

Sex I didnt have, I think about|the ones that got away.

Really?|You mean there were some?

-Cindy. I never had Cindy.|-What?

I could have, I think. The first|time I saw her I said to myself...

Taylor, shut up, all right?|That s enough. Jesus.

You asked.

Youre kidding, right?

-Phillip... Phillip is sick.|-What s wrong with him?

Im not sure, edema, maybe.|Weve gotta get him down now.

-OK, well be right there.|-What does she mean we?

Hows he feeling?

I dont feel too good.|Im sorry.

-Well get you to Base Camp tonight.|-lll be alright till morning.

Weve got to get you down to a lower|altitude as soon as possible.

-My legs still move. Im alright.|-Your lips are blue.

All we need is 5 days, the four|of us can crack the summit for you.

-It ll always be your mountain.|-Listen.

I want to reach the summit|as much as all of you.

But Phillip is going to die|if we dont get him down tonight.

I will go with you and Nazzir.|The mountain will wait for me.

-lll go too.|-No, you wont, H.

Dallas?

I just dont see the point in all of|us going back down to Base Camp.

I agree.

Okay. That s settled.

The rest of us will remain|here until morning.

-If he gets worse, well come down.|-Fine.

Go wake up Nazzir.

-Bring him down easy.|-Easy.

I got you!

It s okay, Phillip.|Were almost down.

Phillip to Camp 4.|This is Phillip.

-Phillip, it s Dallas. Go ahead.|-Camp 4, what's the situation?

-We go for it now, definitely.|-You've been going solid for days.

You sure you're strong enough to get|to the summit and back in 24 hours?

It s now or never, Phillip.

Then two go and two|of you stay behind.

What? Let me talk to him.

Phillip, this is Taylor!|Why cant we all go?

Two must stay back in reserve.|That s an order!

All right, I guess|the big question is which two?

I'll leave that decision to Dallas.

-What s going on?|-Well leave in half an hour.

-Wait, whos going with you?|-Takane.

If it s only two to the top, youve|gotta take the best two climbers.

Yes. So?

-It s me and you.|-Now you wait a second...

Listen, Im sorry, guys, but Dallas|and I have the best shot at this.

-F*** you, Taylor! What is this?|-Sorry, my friend...

but Takane and I are the summit|team and that s that.

That s bullshit. We had a deal.|A deal based on fitness.

Im the fittest climber up here.|Youve gotta take me.

Im not taking you.

Wind direction will be north, with

It doesnt sound very good.

They wont make it tonight.

The pressures still falling.

Dallas, this is Taylor, come in.

Dallas, Takane, this is Taylor,|do you read me?

They must ve switched off.|What do you think?

Come on, H. Dont do this to me.|Talk to me, man.

I just cant believe|you wouldve gone without me.

If Dallas had chosen you instead|of Takane youd go without me.

No way.

Well, that s the difference|between me and you, H.

The difference between|you and me, Taylor...

is that youre only my friend as|long as it doesnt cost you anything.

Well get our crack at it.

How do you figure that?

As soon as they come down,|were gonna get off this mountain...

if we live through|this f***ing storm.

Taylor, wake up. What s that?

Oh, God. Oh, God.

It s Takane!

Get him in. God,|hes taken a real bad fall.

Easy, Takane. Easy.

Jesus Christ!

First aid, Taylor.|First aid.

Hes hurt real bad.

Okay, Takane.|Take it easy.

What? What?

Where is Dallas?

He couldnt... come down.

No tent... lost...

-Very bad...|-It s all right, Takane, take it easy.

-Very cold.|-I know, I know.

Easy, easy.

Hes not breathing, H.

I cant find a pulse.|I cant find a pulse.

Are you ready?

Yeah, okay.

One and two and three|and four and five...

One and two and three|and four and five...

-Come on!|-One and two and three and four...

-One and two and three and four...|-Feel his pulse.

Sh*t!

One and two and three|and four and five.

One and two and three|and four and five. Go.

-Please.|-Come on, Takane! Come on!

One and two and three|and four and five.

One and two and three and four|and five. Check his pulse.

Jacki? Phillip?|Anyone awake down there?

Jacki? Phillip?|Anyone awake down there? Over.

Yeah, Harold.|Im reading you. Over.

Jacki...

Takane said something about|he wouldnt come down.

Nothing.|Nothing we can do.

Well look for Dallas in the morning.
