Everest - beyond the limit

Anyone else as riveted to this program as I've been for the past few weeks? Simply amazing. Don't know what it is, but I've always been somehow fascinated by mountaineering (kind of weird for someone who hates snow and cold). Saw the Dave Bruschears IMAX film of Everest (1996) as soon as it came out, bought John Krakauer's "Into Thin Air" as soon as it came out and read it cover-to-cover in one sitting. Same with Anatoli Boukearev's "The Climb - Tragic Ambitions on Everest". Now this. Something about Everest just absolutely calls to me.

Simply riveting. I think I'm going to go crazy waiting until next week (without doing Internet research to cheat) to see how this expedition finishes. Right now it looks pretty bleak for a couple of the climbers. Please no spoilers if you know but opinions/discussions are fine.

Anyone else hooked on this stuff? Don't know why I'm so insanely attracted to it, but I am.
