This movie attracted me to start paying attention to things related to mountaineering expeditions, and checked a lot of related characters.

This kind of restoration may be the best, without intrigue and slander. Blame, some are just unwilling to give up and insist on being with them. Facts have proved that their choice was wrong, but at that time who could make a calm and impersonal judgment in that situation, the deceased is gone, more blame It has no meaning, at least they realized their dreams at the end of their lives, maybe there is no regret

    Rob Hall: Can you just listen up? Guys? We got 2,000 feet, 600 vertical meters to Camp Four. It's roped all the way, so I know you can make it. Now, once we get to the yellow band we're gonna regroup, put on the masks, turn on the gas. Make sense?
