Follow the Altitude Everest Expedition 2007 moment by moment as Conrad Anker leads a team retracing the last journey of legendary explorer George Mallory. In a golden age of exploration, Mallory was the pioneering adventurer who dared to reach into the world´s last great untouched wilderness. But in June 1924 Mallory and his climbing partner Andrew ´Sandy´ Irvine disappeared into the clouds just 800 feet from the summit of Everest. In 1999 Conrad Anker found Mallory´s body. Now he returns with a group of world class climbers, including Leo Houlding, to explore the mystery Mallory and Irvine left behind - could they been the first men to reach the highest place in the world? Experience their climb as it happens with daily video clips, photos, an expedition diary and blogs posted daily.
