A remarkable record of the third attempt to climb Everest, as shot by Captain John Noel, this recently restored film recounts the fateful expedition that resulted in the deaths of George Mallory and Andrew Irvine. Described by Captain Noel's daughter, Sandra, as 'a commemoration of those stoic men who ventured into an icy wilderness to challenge Chomo-lung-ma, Goddess Mother of the World', this is a thrilling story of the bravery of explorers who attempted the impossible.
