High on Everest, Beck developed severe problems with his vision.
Leigh SharmaHOST
He stopped climbing.
Leigh SharmaHOST
His senior guide, Rob Hall, instructed him to wait until Hall returned from the summit so Hall could help him descend.

So Beck waited, but the conditions changed.
Marisa LazoHOST
No llegaron a la cumbre, pero lograron bajar con vida, que es el chiste, ¿no? Ahora fíjense lo interesante.
Marisa LazoHOST
El guía del grupo era Rob Hall, un montañista con años de experiencia que ya había llegado varias veces a la cumbre del Everest.
Marisa LazoHOST
Fíjense, ¿eh? Y él decidió continuar después de la hora que habían acordado, junto con uno de los montañistas, Doug Hansen.
Marisa LazoHOST
Entonces, los dos llegaron a la cumbre, pero durante el descenso las condiciones se complicaron y ambos murieron en la montaña.
BrewHOST
With one half working eye and no depth of vision, at 7:30 AM, he decided to stop climbing 1,500 feet from the top at the living room size promontory called The Balcony.
BrewHOST
Still believing his vision could improve, he told the leader of the expedition, Rob Hall, "You guys go ahead.
BrewHOST
At a point that I can see, I'll just wander up after you." Rob didn't like the idea.
BrewHOST
"If you cannot see in 30 minutes, I don't want you climbing," he replied.
BrewHOST
As one of the most respected professional guides in the mountaineering community, 35-year-old Rob Hall had a reputation for reliability and safety that attracted clients from around the world who were willing to pay him $65,000 to bring them to the top of the world, the highest fee of any guide in the business.
BrewHOST
Rob was a gentle, humorous man, but an uncompromising leader.
BrewHOST
At the first sound of someone complaining, Rob would squint at them and ask, "You're not gonna be one of them moaners, are you?" But now, seeing his client Beck's condition, Rob wanted him to stay put at The Balcony so that when he returned from the summit, he could take him with the rest of the group safely back to the high camp.
10 MINS LATER
BrewHOST
But Peach wasn't the only one that day who got a call that no wife ever wants to get.
John AndersonGUEST
But the rule was they were supposed to turn around at 2 o'clock.
John AndersonGUEST
If you don't somewhat by 2 o'clock, you're going to get off the mountain, which Rob Hall and the postal guy, they went postal, did not follow the rules, but he climbed down.
John AndersonGUEST
He said to himself, he had promised his wife he would come back alive in a second.
John AndersonGUEST
He said, he said, It was not my mountain and it was not my day.
