Through their wild, brief existence and their desire to be the first men at the summit of Everest, they laid the foundations of world mountaineering's greatest mystery. Through the narrative of their lives, I invite the audience to bring their own answer to the ultimate question: did George and Andrew die fallen before the summit, or victorious after the summit?
There are stories one never finishes reading; this one has moved, impressed, affected, impacted, and obsessed me for fifty winters now.
