K2 Page #5

Im just gonna get a glass of water.

No, come back here first|and tell me what s the matter.

No, just go back to sleep.|Well talk tomorrow, okay?

Tell me.

Okay.

I made you a promise|and I wanna break it.

You promised six months.|You havent been back six days!

I know, I know,|but this is different.

-Taylor and I were asked to go to K2.|-So what?

Come on, Cin,|it s a chance of a lifetime!

-A chance to get yourself killed!|-Dont be ridiculous!

Oh, yeah? It s all here in these|goddamn books, Harold!

Savage Mountain,|Killer Mountain!

Half the people who go to K2|dont come back!

Cindy!

Youre gonna blow everything,|your career, your family...

just so guess who can use you|as his stooge again.

I am not his stooge! Cindy,|when I stand on top of a mountain...

and it s taken all my strength|and all my courage to get there...

just for one second,|one second...

I feel the truth of my life.

I have to have that, okay?

And not for Taylor, for me.

Me, me, me!

Cindy, Cindy!|I am not gonna die.

I love you, I love Eric.

Im gonna do this thing and|when I come back, I promise...

We wont be here|when you get back.

I see. You or the mountain,|is that it?

Well, Im gonna have both.

-No, youre not.|-Yes, I am.

You cant.

Yes, I can.

Im sorry.

Im sorry.

-Promise me youll come back, H.|-I promise.

Sign here.

All right, next.

-He says no problem.|-Ask him for his assurance...

...that this deal is going to stick.|-That wont be necessary.

Every expedition that s come through|here has had problems with porters.

-There wont be any problems.|-Tell them thered better not be.

Well use the 8 mm for fixed rope up|to Camp 4 and 6 mm on higher stages.

Theyre heavy enough? The Poles|used 9 mm all the way to the top.

Well, they had twice|as many climbers as we do.

To me, the six mill just doesnt feel|like it s gonna take the weight.

Theres no weight to take|if we do it without fix ropes.

-Dont be ridiculous.|-Getting blown off the mountain...

for 70 days laying ropes,|that s ridiculous.

Weve got every angle figured. Weve|planned this trip for over a year.

The Poles probably planned it all|their lives. Three of them got killed.

And none of them|made the summit.

Fast an loose|is not the way to climb K2.

Taylor, listen to Dallas, will you?

Hes the best expedition|organizer in the States.

If I had known that Id have had him|come over and pack my bags for me.

Thank you.

It must be that time|of the month, huh, Dallas?

lll sleep tonight, lll tell you that.

Acclimatizing all right?

Is it good news or bad news|when you bleed from your ears?

Good news.

Ready.

Cheese.

Looks like somebody is hurt.

This guy looks like Helmut.

-Guten tag. Helmut Steiner.|-Phillip Claiborne. How do you do?
