SUMMARY
National Geographic The Wildest Dream Uses astonishing visuals to tell the intersecting stories of George Mallory, the first man to attempt a summit of Mount
Everest, and Conrad Anker, the mountaineer who finds Mallory's frozen remains 75 years later.
Eighty-five years after George Mallory s final attempt to summit Mount
Everest, The Wildest Dream
explores Mallory s obsession with becoming the first person to reach the highest place on Earth. Told through the
explorer s poignant and evocative letters to his wife, Ruth, previously unseen
photos and film archive from 1924 (restored from the original nitrate especially for the film), dramatization and a modern-day expedition retracing the original route taken in 1924, Mallory s incredible adventure lives again. The expedition was led by renowned mountaineer Conrad Anker, whose life became inextricably linked with Mallory s after he found Mallory s body on
Everest in 1999. Using replica 1920s-era
clothing and equipment, Anker sets out to
solve the great mystery of whether Mallory succeeded in summiting
Everest before he died he was last seen just 800 feet from the summit before the clouds
closed in and he disappeared into legend. The most heartbreaking clue: All of Mallory s belongings were found intact on his body, except the
photograph of his beloved Ruth, which he promised to leave at the top of the world if he succeeded. -- © National Geographic
