In the Footsteps of Mallory and Irvine: The Wildest Dream

The story of the 2007 Altitude Everest Expedition which attempted to determine whether Mallory and Irvine could have reached the summit of Everest in 1924. Using period clothing and equipment, Conrad Anker and Leo Houlding followed in the footsteps of the early British climbers, including attempting to free climb the Second Step without the use of the current ladder system. A well-written and detailed account.
