Deadly Everest Climb; Clarkson’s Cairo Fling; ‘Holy Wars’: Film

Seventy-five years after George Mallory died on Mount Everest, his frozen body was spotted near the peak of the world’s tallest mountain. Conrad Anker, who found his corpse in 1999, later tried to duplicate Mallory’s climb under similarly primitive conditions.

Their parallel stories are vividly told in “The Wildest Dream,” a breathtaking docudrama from National Geographic.
