UNDERLYING EVERYTHING ELSE MAY HAVE BEEN something even more primal and basic: desperation. By 1994, Bill Stone had lost his wife, his children, his home, two close friends, and all his money; he had borrowed heavily and promised the moon to scores of sponsors. One golden moment had been snatched away by fate in Cheve in 1991. Stone knew that life did not often present a second, but there it was, down in Huautla, in 1994.
“I’ve shot my wad,” he confessed miserably to Noel Sloan after dinner on April 29 down in Camp 3. “This is my chance, maybe my only chance. I’m going to push this cave to the bitter end. No matter what.”
