episode 2on the ropes

L.A. journalist Betsy Huelskamp is also struggling to make the five-hour deadline. By any normal standards she's incredibly fit, but the air at 21,000 feet contains less than half the oxygen at sea level and it takes a huge effort just to put one foot in front of the other.

Betsy is already in the firing line after Russell discovered she wasn't as experienced a mountaineer as he'd thought, and he's assigned one of his guides to shadow her every move.
