Apex

Come on, the sun is out. It's perfect.

Come on, let's go.

- Can you get up, please, please, babe? - Mm, okay.

Oh, babe, your breath.

You love it.

- Wake up. - Okay.

- Yeah. - Hm.

- Go away. - Let's go. Yeah.

- Leave me alone. - Let's get going, come on.

- -

- - Hey! Easy now.

Come on, old man. You got this.

Damn, it's getting cold.

That's just your Aussie ass.

- You ready to get to the top? - Not yet, baby.

Let's go.

- Yeah! You got it. -

No rush.

You're all good.

It's the same goddamn spot every time. Gonna be here forever.

How can I help you?

I'm good.

I got this. I can…

I can do this.

Just take your time.

- Nice. -

What?

I reckon we should call it a day.

It's the final pitch, Tommy.

It'll still be there in the morning, I promise.

Plus, there's a bit of shit weather coming in. Have a look.

Just give me one more try.

We can both hit the top and make tent well within an hour.

I know we can do that. I want to summit today.

- That is exactly why... - No, I want to summit today.

That's exactly why you have a climbing partner,

so that someone can make the call when one of you loses the plot.

- So I'm making a call. Okay? -

Sash, it's all good.

It was beautiful climbing, up until where you…

Right until when it wasn't.

Just wondering whether we should take a rain check tomorrow, that's all.

Are you kidding me? It's just a little weather.

What's… What's going on?

No, just…

I just feel like sometimes you rush it a little bit, that's all.

Anything else?

I don't know how many more of these trips I've got left in me.

Look, don't get me wrong. I love this. I love us. I love you.

Stop it. You do this every time.

You know, the climb gets tough, and then all of a sudden,

you start talking like this.

No, I'm just talking about slowing it down a bit,

not doing so many extreme things.

Oh my God.

There's an old saying.

Luck is like anything else you take up the mountain.

Eventually, it's gonna run out.

You serious?

You're gonna tell me your luck has run out halfway up a mountain?

If my lucky compass is saying I should...

Oh my God. Just stop with that fucking compass.

I'm sorry, Sash.

I'm just being a bit of a sook.

Come here.

Where does it hurt?

Yeah, right there.

- Right here? - Yeah.

Jesus.

Promise me we'll be back after the storm's passed.

We'll get going first thing, okay? I promise not to sleep in.

- Is that a date? -

- -

- Get into the wall! - Okay, okay, okay.

Keep your head down.

Okay. I want us to go down a little bit.

It's a bit safer there at that ledge, okay?

Okay.

- You all right? - Yeah.

You can go faster if you want.

- Oh yeah? - Yeah.

Now you want me to go faster?

- Yeah. - All right.

You safe?

God.

Are you okay?

Tommy! Get down here!

Did you tie a knot for this rap?

Yeah!

Oh shit! Tommy, wait!

- Just give me a sec. -

- - Tommy!

No!

Shit.

Tommy!

- - Tommy, wake up!

You're dragging us off the mountain!

I can't hold it any longer!

- -

- -

Oh!

["Boogie Street" by Leonard Cohen playing on stereo]

- -

It's just these climbs, man, the big tough ones. It's just…

Takes a lot of ego, you know?

If you're nice, I'll share some of my ego with you.

- -

- Hey. - G'day.

You going out alone?

I wouldn't recommend it.

People get lost in these woods all the time.

And here, they stay lost.

Can you sign in for us?

Just so we know where you're going.

Tough luck. Tough luck. That's yours.

That's the good stuff.

That's the good shit, there.

- Is that packed on? - For you, it's quite packed on.

- Here you go. - All right, thank you.

Take it easy.

Hello.

Hey.

You got everything you need?

- Hey. - Look out. Here's trouble.

How's it going, Mel? Ready for some more?

Oh, yeah. It's selling like hotcakes.

Oh.

- Have you tried it? - Get real. I wouldn't feed that to my dog.

Well, I think your dog's missing out.

Excuse me.

Thank you.

Don't you say "excuse me" where you come from?

Did you not hear me? I said thank you.

Where are you heading? We could be your guides.

We know the place real well.

- I'm okay. - We're just trying to be nice.

I think she's okay, fellas.

Looks like she got everything she needs.

- -

Full tank on six.

I'm sorry about that.
