A team of mountaineers stumble across a group of less experienced climbers on Mount Everest who are desperately in need of help, and execute a daring rescue mission.

'Found On Everest' documents in vivid detail the daily struggles facing this team of elite climbers on three search rotations above 27,00 feet. Follow expedition leader Eric Simonson and the rest of the team as they try to solve the mystery of the 1924 disappearance of the duo that may have summitted Everest first: George Mallory and Sandy Irvine. Looking for on thing but finding another, this team encountered five stranded climbers who had spent the night exposed on Mount Everest's frigid north ridge, above 28,500 feet. Over the course of one long, dramatic day, Tap Richards, Dave Han and Jason Tanguay saved four lives in the second highest rescue in history.

On June 7, 1924, George Mallory, a 38-year-old English schoolmaster, and Andrew Irvine, a 22-year-old university student, stopped to rest on Mount Everest at 26,800 feet, before making the final ascent.

Everest - Ten on top is a documentary about alpinism that takes place in Everest. It was directed by Markus Hutnak in 1991 and produced by American Foundation for International Mountaineering. It features Eric Simonson, Markus Hutnak and George Dunn.

In 1924, British climbers George Mallory and Andrew Irvine disappeared while attempting to become the first to reach the summit of Mount Everest. Exactly how far they climbed and how they died has been a mystery ever since. In 1999, a British-American research team set out to conquer Everest on the north side. Not for the beauty of the gesture, but to find to find clues that can unravel the mystery. They make a great find: the body of George Mallory himself, though the mystery only deepened...
