"Damn it, Rad, I have waited just as long as you have to make this climb and not you, nor Jim nor Rob will tell me I can't make it!"
"Damn it! Stop being a stubborn ass and listen to me. I want to be a divorcee not a damn widower! I am telling Rob and the Sherpas that you will not be climbing with us. You are leaving the mountain A S A f*****g P!"
"Divorce me? You want to divorce me for climbing a mountain without your permission? f**k you, Rad."
"No I'm divorcing you for f*****g that douche bag, Rob. You are not climbing."
I grabbed my pack and left the tent. I found Jim and two Sherpas and informed them that Tracy was being stubborn and would not be climbing. Jim assured me that she would be taken back down and moved to a hospital for treatment.
I busied myself melting ice for drink
