Only the hand of God will save you now!In 1924 the intrepid climbing team of George Mallory and Andrew Irvine went for the summit of Everest. Then a storm broke. Hours later George Mallory, with Andrew (Sandy) Irvine tethered by a flimsy cord, descends into madness. Approaching 28000 feet and unable to distinguish dream from reality Mallory stumbles and falls down the north face of Everest to his death. Such was the start of the greatest mystery of the 20th century. Did Mallory and Irvine conquer Mt Everest and summit first? Fast forward almost a century and the search for Andrew Irvine continues.
