Product Description
When the body of George Mallory was found high on the monumental, wind-scoured North Face of Everest on 1 May 1999, it marked the latest episode in a tale of heroism and tragedy. In 1924, Mallory and his companion Andrew Irvine, wearing rudimentary clothing and using primitive oxygen equipment, disappeared during a valiant bid to reach the world's highest summit. Although their fate has now been partly resolved, the riddle of whether they succeeded in their bid, twenty-nine years ahead of Hillary and Tenzing, remains as tantalising as ever.
