[edit] Synopsis
Synopsis from Deadliest Climb: Everest
"Big Tim" surprised everyone last year by making it to Camp 4 at 27,720 feet (8,400 meters). As well as having a completely unsuitable build for high-altitude mountaineering, the L.A. biker has a metal cage around his spine, metal plates in his head, and his left leg is held together with pins and rods.
On Summit Day last year he fell victim to summit fever and refused to turn back when ordered by expedition leader Russell Brice. Climbing too slowly and running low on oxygen, Russell believes if Tim had continued to the summit he would have died, but Tim maintains he could have done it. This year he's back. Not only the biggest man on the mountain, he's probably Russell's biggest liability. His being an egomaniac who doesn't think twice to jeopardize the lives of those around him should make 'interesting' television.
