But Russell is adamant they'll die unless they obey his orders. Eventually, their team mates returning from the summit manage to persuade them to descend but they're now very weak and running out of oxygen. Their survival is far from guaranteed. Max Chaya proved himself a very strong climber summiting well before everybody else at dawn, but on his way down he encounters and unconscious climber who is badly frostbitten and close to death. He asks Russell what he can do for the man, but Russell says there's nothing they can do. As the climbers descend it's clear that many are suffering serious frostbite. It's been one of Russell Brice's most difficult expeditions and one of the deadliest seasons on the mountain. Written by Tigress Productions See less
