:21:01
Everyone hear me all right?
:21:03
No!
:21:07
You're the lucky ones.
:21:11
Welcome to the highest party
in the world!
:21:19
Okay, maybe I did overdo it
just a bit.
:21:23
Four years ago, I came here
with a dream to climb K2.
:21:27
The toughest mountain in the world.
:21:30
As most of you know,
that attempt ended in tragedy.
:21:34
On Wednesday,
with the help of Tom McLaren...
:21:38
...I intend to fulfill that dream.
:21:40
And while I'm at it, take care
of some business, Texas style.
:21:50
At 0900 hours, Greenwich Mean Time...
:21:52
...the inaugural flight of Majestic
Air will fly over the summit...
:21:56
...and we'll be there to wave them on!
:22:02
To the other teams climbing,
I'd like to say be safe...
:22:06
...and good luck.
:22:09
Kick up your heels
and enjoy the barbecue!
:22:22
What about the weather, Mr. Vaughn?
:22:30
We hope for the best.
You know something we don't?
:22:35
The weather closes in
and people die up there.
:22:38
Or don't you have to worry about that?
:22:43
Anybody who doesn't worry
about that is a fool.
:22:47
Brian Maki did a high-atmosphere
analysis of the last 4 decades.
:22:52
Most years there's a 9-to-12-day lull
before the fall storms.
:22:57
On August 2nd, we calculate
an 82% chance of fine weather.
