At the Summit of His Desires traces the exceptional destiny of George Mallory and Andrew Irvine, who, through their short, wild lives and their desire to be the first men to summit Everest, laid the foundations for the greatest enigma in mountaineering.
Throughout the story, Greg Lager invites viewers to provide their own answers to the final question: in 1924, did George and Andrew die, defeated before the summit, or victorious after? Only the Kodak camera carried by Andrew could answer this question. Seventy-five years later, George's body is found in the ice. A century later, another dramatic turn of events unfolds in 2024, when part of Andrew's remains are found. A crazy story! Playing with suspense and gradually unfolding the fascinating thread of his story, Greg Lager revives the sensitivity, finesse, intelligence, and elegance of these great men of yesteryear. A show that leaves us feeling reassured about human nature...thanks to human nature, and which is good for the soul.
