Driven by empire, torn by love, George Mallory disappeared in 1924, a mere 800 feet from his goal of summiting Mount Everest. Now Conrad Anker returns to Everest to recreate Mallory's climb and solve a mystery that has spanned generations. Directed by Emmy® award winning filmmaker Anthony Geffen and featuring the vocal talents of Academy Award® nominees Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes, as well as Hugh Dancy, Alan Rickman and the late Natasha Richardson, "The Wildest Dream: Conquest of Everest" is a breathtaking mountaineering adventure that seeks to provide answers to the enduring mysteries surrounding the death of George Mallory on Mount Everest. Foremost among them: Could Mallory have succeeded in reaching the summit before he and fellow climber Andrew “Sandy” Irvine disappeared in 1924?

He's giving a presentation about the film in the DC area (Bailey's Crossroads REI) on August 7.

I thought the movie was well done, and Conrad seems like a very nice guy. Took time to answer questions at the end and was very approachable afterward. Nice that they gave out signed posters, as well. Anyone else check it out?

Saw the movie in San Francisco last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. It is low-keyed compared to most recent Everest t.v and movie shows and the most interesting part is the dramatic close-ups of the Second Step from different angles . I think Noel Odell did see Mallory & Irvine ascending the Second Step as he first thought .
Does anyone know whether George Mallory had any pitons with him ?
