Held up those behind them, so the slowest person dictated the pace. fortunately, because our teams skill level was high enough, we could climb around people who were stuck. so we stayed on schedule, and got to the top, and came back down. i think something was lost there. it became all about whos going to get there, how fast, and what am i going to get out of that experience? and i suspect that it is only going to get worse in the future, unless there is an intervention. although the nepalese go...

Successful. they have typically been small, national teams from those three countries i mentioned so the fact that the sherpas went up and did it, and honestly, they almost made it look easy. they went in and acclimatised, got in early, set the ropes, made up the high camps. they took advantage of a very, very narrow window to stand on top of k2. and give us a bit of a flavour of what it�*s like up there. you talked about the really difficult conditions, but you have been up there? you know, w...
