Few Questions/Statement s


ok most of these have the easy answer of 'cause the film is badly made etc'

but

1. so your going to take one of the most unstable explosives in the world up K2. yes you have already sealed your own will. but why carry it on the outside? surely it would have been a better idea to carry it inside the bag, if done so would have prevented cyrils death.

2. who else thinks at least one of the Bench brothers should have survived?

3. those type of canisters do not leak. if tht one had a leak they would have noticed before they left.

4. wick the ecpert climber that he is, still fails to put the cams in right resulting in his and vayghns demise, simply so they could show another scene from the beginning of the film.

5. cryril? instead of screaming at the avalanche, why not quickly hang off the edge with the rope you just cast down,

6. let me get this straight, one canister of nitro manages to blow up and the flames roar up half a fing mountain and cause a massive avalanche. yet when an entire shed full of it blows it can only blow the door off of a house next to it?

7. many more ive forgotten while typing this

I can answer all of these questions thus:

ITS A HOLLYWOOD FILM!!!
You might as complain about how come warp speed in stars wars doesn't affect time continuum.

PS: If you want to see a factualfilm about climbing, watch 'Touching the Void'
very good.
