two dudes last night would not listen to the director of the climb and turn around. they were a couple of hundred feet from the summit but getting low on oxygen and moving slowly.
I'm thinking next week one of them is frozen toast.:eek:

the two guys got what they call summit fever. would not listen to their guides, the director watching from the camp below and even a team member coming back down from the summit. Plus, the tall fella is a biker with a lower leg full of metal from a surgery and the little French fella had his appendix recently removed.
I think the big guy dies.

why so? I'm telling what was on last night. they showed a clip for the next show of the fella who came off the summit talking about passing a person dying. they also show the big guy Tim, collapsing.
the sad thing was listening to the guy from ABC pleading with them to turn around. the director (of the climb) was ****ed and said all he could.

I was just funnin' ya. It was mostly a jab at those that demand spoiler tags in the Lost Heros thread.
