It's from Jan.
I knew it was gonna be a girl.
I can't believe it.
It's a girl!
All right,
good on you!
When's she due?
Mid-July, as soon
as I get back.
You better
sleep now, buddy.
Yeah, that's true.
Hey, Rob.
Jan doesn't mind
you being here?
Krakauer's sword
is unleashed.
It's okay. Jan's a climber, Jon,
she gets it.
- Yeah!
- Cheers, Helen.
What about you, Doug?
What about your wife?
Oh, she's been fine with it,
ever since we divorced.
She's been great
with everything.
I'm so sorry, buddy.
No, no, no, I ask
because Peach said to me,
"if you climb one more mountain,
I will divorce you."
And then you went ahead
and then booked this trip!
No, no, no, the worst,
the worst part of it
is that I-I kind of
forgot to tell her.
I forgot to
tell her, I did.
All right. It's all
on the table, here.
It hurts, it's dangerous,
it destroys relationships,
it's costing you
all a small fortune.
I gotta ask the question,
you know I do. Why?
Because...
It's there!
Thank you, Mr. Mallory.
- Come on.
- Guys, I'm, I'm serious.
Yasuko. Why are you
climbing Everest?
I'm 47 years old,
I have reached six of
the seven summits, so...
Of course, now I have
to reach the seventh.
That's not an answer.
No. Why any summit?
- Come on, tell 'em about the kids.
- What?
Tell 'em about the kids.
You have kids?
Yeah, I have kids,
but, I thought I told you,
there's an elementary school,
back home.
And I've been going
and talking to the kids there
and they actually helped me raise
some of the money to come and...
gave me a flag
to plant on the summit, and...
So, I was thinking,
maybe it's...
They see a
regular guy can,
you know, follow
impossible dreams,
maybe they'll be inspired
to do the same, I guess.
I'm climbing Mount Everest
because I can.
Because to be able
to climb that high
and see that kind of beauty
that nobody ever sees,
it'd be a crime not to.
Hear, hear, Dougie.
- There you go.
- I like that.
