Storyline

Taylor and Harold are good friends and avid climbers. While climbing one day, they meet a man who it seems might be attempting to climb K2, the world's second-highest peak. Always pushy, Taylor bugs the man for a spot on the team, claiming that he and Harold are good enough. They may be very good, but K2 is a very tough mountain. Written by Murray Chapman <muzzle@cs.uq.oz.au>

Continuity: Early in the film, the two main characters are on a big rock wall. Despite the fact that they are lightly equipped, wearing rockboots and not hauling any gear behind them, they continue above the snowline in cold weather clothing and mountaineering boots, carrying large rucksacks and equipped for camping.

Quotes

Harold: What about, uh, Dallas? What's his name? What's his problem?
Taylor Brooks: Dallas Woolf. We went to Law School together. He was good in the classroom... I was better in the courtroom. There's no contest in the bedroom!
