 The Razors Egde March 18, 2000
11 out of 13 found this review helpful
In 1924, dressed in little more than tweed climbing gear and possessed of a naive esprit de corp an expedition of English gentlemen adventurers made successive but abortive attempts upon the summit of Mount Everest. The fate of the last pair to attempt this feat, George Leigh Mallory and Andrew Irvine, has remained a mystery for seventy-five years as both ascended into a mist from which they were never seen again. This video captures the first moments of an historic day in 1999 when climbers found the remains of Mallory, perfectly preserved in its trans-alpine resting place. Despite the frequency of its conquest life on Everest is tenuous at best. Curiously, when life is at its most fragile, men of selfless heroism walk the razors edge when the safer path beckons. This video is a fitting requiem to two of Everest's early explorers and chronicles an age when achievements were less a public acclamation of the self than a personal celebration of it.
