The Wildest Dream (2010)

If you are not into climbing, or even camping, this documentary may not be your thing. If you are not even mildly interested in the concept that somebody may have reached the top of Mt. Everest before Hillary's documented, and current historical record, again, you may not enjoy this.

For the rest of us, this movie is a delightful mix of documentary, archival footage, and dramatizations. Very well done.

Conrad Anker finds the frozen remains of a British climber who was last seen approaching the summit 75 years earlier. His goal is to prove that Mallory's attempt was possible given the equipment and lack of rigging on the mountain, if not prove that he was indeed on top.

Along the way some very interesting Everest history and facts are presented as well as the introduction of some great personalities.

Watch this movie with a warm cup of chocolate handy.
