In the spring of 1901 a teenager stood on top of a hill and decided he wanted to be a mountaineer. Two decades later, the same man stood in a blizzard beneath the summit of Mount Everest, within sight of his goal to be the first to stand on the roof of the world. His decision to save the life of his stricken companion stopped him from reaching the summit. Robert Wainwright restores George Finch to his rightful place in history with this remarkable tribute to one of the 20th century's most eccentric anti-heroes.
