The Wildest Dream: Conquest of Everest

In their attempt they must free climb the infamous Second Step, a 90 foot sheer rock wall, just as Mallory and Irvine did 8 decades earlier.

As they strive to reach the summit, they must keep filming all the way. But their attempt on Everest takes its toll and the expedition proves more gruelling than anyone had imagined.
