The Wildest Dream
Winner of the Boardman-Tasker Award 2000The discovery of the body of George Mallory on the wind-scoured North Face of Everest on 1st May 1999, marked the latest episode in a tale of heroism and tragedy. In 1924, Mallory and his companion Andrew Irvine, wearing rudimentary clothing and using primitive oxygen equipment, disappeared during a valiant bid to reach the world`s highest summit. Although their fate has now been partly resolved, the riddle of whether they succeeded in their bid, 29 years ahead of Hillary and Tenzing, remains as tantalising as ever.Behind the image of the intrepid adventurer, who really was George Mallory? In this book, Peter and Leni Gillman consider the motives and aspirations of this inspirational yet complex figure.Winner of the Boardman-Tasker Award 2000
