28,000 feet. You're hanging on by your fingernails. The adrenaline alone could kill you.
A U.S. climbing team, funded by millionaire Clairborne is determined to conquer K2.
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.
