Honestly, it becomes really depressing throughout the book. Many guides and climbers are being confirmed as dead and it is just pure sadness among the people at Camp 4. They look around for more, but more deaths are confirmed. With the people they do find, such as Beck Wethers, they are in terrible condition and close to dead. But once they make it to the tent, their chances of survival are dramatically increased. Stuart Hutchinson takes the role as the leader and gathers up his team to descend on the mountain. Helicopters come to retrieve Beck and one other climber off the mountain for serious medical treatment. It is very interesting how the helicopters went above their height to come retrieve these climbers who were battling for their lives. Once they make it to Camp 2, everything has settled in and they can not believe what has just happened on this intense journey.
The story is obviously starting to come to an end. All of the serious deaths have occurred and it is a very sad thing to see. They are descending down these mountains and it is extremely difficult for everybody to embrace what has just happened in this situation. If i was apart of this expedition, I would not know what to do with the sensitiveness that must be there.
