Trivia:
The Bench brothers were based on the Burgess twins, Alan & Adrian, who are two climbers from Yorkshire, England, UK. moreGoofs:
Factual errors: The range of the two-way radios the climbers were using was greatly exaggerated by the film. The small UHF stub antennas on the radios would not have a very great range, certainly not enough to be heard from within a cave to a base camp (presumably) several kilometers away, and particularly not without line of sight. moreSoundtrack:

Only Paxton and Glenn give strong characterizations in this movie, but the action sequences are a lot of fun to watch unfold. This movie is best viewed when you're not in the mood to think too much. The script could have used another draft and could have easily fallen apart if not for the capable hands of director Campbell. The sense of awe K2 should bring to the viewer is curiously missing. Still, this is a decent action film that is worth a look.
