I couldn't stop reading his epic descent. Riveting is an understatement. It's fascinating when people with so much life in them get to a point where they let go of it all. And then some little thing sparks them back up. The will to live dangling in the balance.
On a lighter note, has anyone ever seen the K2 film "Vertical Limit". It's got to be the cheeziest mountain climbing movie of all time. I survived the movie once in a theatre, and stumbled on it recently on cable, but I couldn't take it for more than 5 minutes as a rerun. I'm probably insulting someone out there who liked it, but it strikes me as a silly waste of electricity. The cinematography is great, and the beginning scene with the dad and kids climbing is pretty good, but it's just a good hook that quickly lets go and deteriorates into a crazy plot, bad acting, and laughable special effects.
Congrats to Alan. Amazing person. I'll be reading more of his blog. Thanks Bulldog and other for posting these links.
