4/23/10: The Lost Explorer

George Mallory, 1886-1924
George Mallory, 1886-1924

By Doug Fabrizio

Salt Lake City, Utah – By today's standards, George Mallory and Sandy Irvine were ill-equipped to scale Mount Everest in 1924. But their tragic story of determination and exploration remains a model for climbers today. It's a story that took Conrad Anker to Everest 75 years later, and he describes finding Mallory's preserved body in a catchment basin with "a deep sense of awe and inspiration." Anker joins us to talk about the humility of knowing that the peaks are always stronger. (Rebroadcast)
