The action takes place in the 1930s and after Mallory and Irvine’s attempt to reach the summit. Being the highest peak in the world, climbing Everest is an obsession for many mountain climbers and in the early part of this century it was especially so for British climbers. In fact, the mountain was named for a Brit, Sir Georgemore
