For years he and the company\u2019s CEO, Berd Wilting, tried to secure finances for the project. In 2007 they enabled me and Werner Vennwald, co-producer at the time, to undertake a memorable research trip to Beijing, during which we recorded unique interview material with Chinese climbing veterans from the 1960s and 1970s. Events surrounding the Beijing Olympics twice prevented an expedition before it could finally be mounted thanks to the contribution of Austrian production company, preTV (Graz\/Vienna).<\/p>\n<p>Although the search for Andrew Irvine and a solution to the mystery of Everest\u2019s first ascent was unsuccessful, director Gerald Salmina, cameraman G\u00fcnther G\u00f6berl and the climbing team helped creating a film that combined the forensic work on the \u201cMallory &amp; Irvine case\u201d with a portrait of the mountain that ranges from the dramatic first attempts to the current \u201ccircus\u201d &#8211; all of this captured in breathtaking landscape and climbing footage.
