at peace, on Nanga Parbat.

00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:18,080
I've been to collect Tom's passport.
395
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,800
That's a big relief to have
396
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,040
that small red book back
in the family's possession.
397
00:25:25,120 --> 00:25:28,680
But it's, it's papers, you know?
398
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,920
It's not, it's not actually Tom.
399
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:33,880
So it's just paperwork.
400
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,000
The most important thing now for me
401
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:44,120
is to meet the Italian
ambassador of Pakistan.
402
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:47,360
He supervised over
the search and rescue efforts
403
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:51,080
after Tom and Daniele went missing.
404
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,440
So he'll have more information about
405
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:57,600
what actually happened to Tom and Daniele.
406
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,200
What happens in,
in Nanga Parbat, apparently,
407
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:07,000
is, on that, on the...
408
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,440
on that route is that snow comes down...
409
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:16,800
and it snows heavily.
410
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,280
Then it kind of freezes
411
00:26:22,360 --> 00:26:24,400
and accumulates
412
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,000
and when it's too heavy,
it just goes down.
413
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,680
And that happens every three to six hours.
414
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:36,080
So one idea is that there
may have been a ice avalanche,
415
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,040
a serac, which hit them.
416
00:26:38,120 --> 00:26:40,320
It was certainly not a snowstorm
417
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:43,000
because a snowstorm
would've wiped out everything.
418
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,160
And, uh, Alex Txikon,
419
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:48,960
who we enlisted for the rescue operation,
420
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,920
inferred from the position of the bodies
421
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,960
and, uh, the general conditions
of how they were found,
422
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:59,600
that they may have died a different way,
423
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:03,600
which was, uh, as they were coming down,
424
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:05,000
they were still roped,
425
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:08,960
and, uh, Tom was possibly,
426
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:12,520
because he's, he's kind of hanging
427
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:16,600
in a, in an awkward position in the ropes,
428
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:18,880
he might have gotten tangled in the ropes.
429
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:23,640
Daniele was going up
to try to, to cut the ropes
430
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,760
or, you know, get freed of the ropes,
431
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:29,520
and they may have been victim of climate,
432
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:33,320
of the minus-50 degrees,
and may have died that way.

we knew exactly what had happened,

but the story that we took
onboard was that...
441
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,560
they climbed,
they went to bed in their tent,
442
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,440
probably very cold up at that altitude,
443
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,200
and sometime during the night,
444
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:45,920
while they were peacefully asleep,
445
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,680
probably dreaming about climbing,
446
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:53,120
that a serac
from high above them broke off
447
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:57,600
and the force just ripped them
straight out of their tent
448
00:28:57,680 --> 00:28:59,720
and threw them off the mountain,
449
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:03,000
and they would've died
immediately on impact,
450
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,000
uh, from the force, just as,
451
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:08,920
just as we believe, happened to mum,

00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:10,320

454
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,800
that you don't, and that he was asleep.
455
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,960

kind of reassuring for us,

"For-for most people in Italy,
I'm not credible."
858
00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:50,320
He wanted to be credible as a mountaineer
859
00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:53,760
because all the important,
the biggest mountaineers, uh,
860
00:55:53,840 --> 00:55:56,360
Italian mountaineers, are from the north.
861
00:55:57,280 --> 00:55:59,960
Here people take the boat
and go to sea, you know?
862
00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:03,920
They don't climb the mountains,
so he was a, he was an outcast,
863
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:06,840

But I've never met the guy,
870

I'd never heard of him until Tom told me
871
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:43,840
that Daniele had suggested
they become climbing partners.
872
00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:51,040
And I think that Daniele
realized what a tour de force
873

Tom was capable of delivering.

it was in Germany 2016.

He went climbing with him, and, yeah,

close as talented as Tom.

Which 8000m peak?

00:58:09,760 --> 00:58:11,680
Nanga Parbat.

No, with Daniele Nardi

For him, Nanga Parbat
has always been a dream
901
00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:22,120
He's already tried to
climb it four times
902
00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:26,760
I like climbing
with him

we're going to give it a go

about him going there.

And I tried to convince,
to persuade him not to go.

00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:46,640
But then I also thought,
"Okay, I can't really,
908
00:58:46,720 --> 00:58:48,760
because it is his life,
909

"I'm not going to Nanga Parbat,

the Kinshofer Route and the Messner Route,
920
00:59:23,280 --> 00:59:25,640

He wanted to go up Nanga Parbat

which has still not been climbed.
923

that it was the most direct to the top
925
00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:51,800
and it was, uh, it was the most elegant.

00:59:54,160 --> 00:59:55,880
If you look at the mountain,
927
00:59:55,960 --> 00:59:59,200
it's like a finger pointing to the top,
928
00:59:59,800 --> 01:00:01,600

was a little bit obsessed

with Big Ibrahim.

that Tom covered.

that they did what they wanted to do.

(KATE SIGHING)
1543
01:42:03,120 --> 01:42:06,120
KATE: It is difficult to
not dwell on what's happened,
1544
01:42:06,200 --> 01:42:07,440
of course.
1545
01:42:09,600 --> 01:42:13,680
And it's not something
that I'm over in that sense.
1546
01:42:13,760 --> 01:42:15,760
It's, uh, it'll be an ongoing process,
1547
01:42:15,840 --> 01:42:17,760
I think, my entire life.
1548
01:42:17,840 --> 01:42:20,040
Then it'll get easier, hopefully,
1549

i-in years to come.
1550
01:42:21,840 --> 01:42:24,280
But there is only forward to look.
1551
01:42:24,360 --> 01:42:27,920
There's no point looking back.
I'm not going that way.
1552
01:42:28,040 --> 01:42:30,520
That's a wonderful thing
to hear, Kate. Absolutely.
1553

JIM: I mean, I think since Tom died,
1554
01:42:37,680 --> 01:42:42,040
Kate and I have developed a bond
1555
01:42:42,120 --> 01:42:46,120
which is, I suppose,
really, truly spiritual.
1556
01:42:46,200 --> 01:42:47,760
And th-that's how I feel.
1557
01:42:47,840 --> 01:42:51,120
And the thing that I never expected to do
1558
01:42:51,200 --> 01:42:55,760
was be able to share
her adventures and joys
1559
01:42:55,840 --> 01:42:58,440
and sadnesses
1560
01:42:58,520 --> 01:43:00,680
in a way that gave me
1561
01:43:00,760 --> 01:43:03,760
unbelievable warmth and pleasure.

KATE: Coming from a climbing legacy,
1564
01:43:18,120 --> 01:43:22,040
I always felt just great pride.
1565
01:43:22,120 --> 01:43:26,760
But because mum and Tom
were so extraordinary,
1566
01:43:26,840 --> 01:43:30,600
I almost have a duty to them
to be extraordinary, too,
1567
01:43:30,680 --> 01:43:32,600
and not just be the average Joe
1568
01:43:32,680 --> 01:43:34,960

Just like when I carried you
over to the window.
1576
01:44:25,440 --> 01:44:28,360
It was a windowsill I carried
you over to, when you were born.

It was. (CHUCKLES)
