:30:01
That's a concern.
:30:04
We're about an hour from
the bottleneck, right?

:30:09
Let's kick it and get up there.
:30:10
Gets any worse,
we'll shelter under the ice cliffs.

:30:14
If it comes in fast,
we're totally exposed out here.

:30:17
It's not fast.
He said it's slow-moving.

:30:20
There's a 70% chance
it'll turn east and miss us.

:30:23
I'm not gonna risk a storm.
Not at 26,000.

:30:26
We're not suggesting anything stupid.
The weather could turn.

:30:30
The odds are with us.
We're five hours from the summit.

:30:34
We turn back now, that's it.
We've lost our window.

:30:37
I know. Elliot, I'm aware of that.
It's my responsibility.

:30:42
I won't let a marketing campaign
compromise our safety.

:30:45
You think this is
about a marketing campaign?

:30:48
Come on, Tom.
This is about getting to the top.

:30:52
I don't give a shit
about the publicity.

:30:55
This is a life statement for me.
:31:00
We're only 500 feet from
the bottleneck. Let's keep going.

:31:11
Okay.
:31:14
Okay.
:31:20
Let's go.
:31:39
980 hecto-Pascals and falling.
:31:42
Lenticular cloud to the southeast.
Winds at 80 knots, rising.

:31:46
Tom says he's going on.
What's base camp pressure?

:31:49
Pressure's dropped two points
in four hours.

:31:51
You made your case. We listened.
We decided.

:31:54
It's too high a risk. Why am I here
if you don't listen to me?

:31:58
I'll assess the risk. As to why
you're here, I wonder myself.
