On an icy ledge high on K2, the world’s second largest mountain, two climbers, Harold and Taylor, are stranded. Harold has suffered a broken leg and their one remaining rope is neither long nor strong enough to get both men to the next ledge. The two carry on a conversation as they try to save themselves, starting out lighthearted but shifting toward the value and meaning of life. This performance is not recommended for those under 17.
