This video gives the story of a man left to die (obviously) while climbing. This is a key part of the book because two of the climbers Beck Weathers and Yasuko Namba were left to die near the South Col, away from the main trail on Everest. This leads in to a major theme of the book which is friendship and trustworthiness. Climbing to the summit takes a lot of trust in the people around you, they are the ones essentially keeping you alive. Trustworthiness just comes along with it and you hold the lives of other people in your hands, just as you hold theirs.
