The astonishing and compelling story of the greatest mystery in mountaineering - here fully revised in the light of the discovery of Mallory's body on Everest by the 1999 Mallory and Irvine Expedition led by Eric Simonson.
On 8 June 1924 George Mallory and Andrew Irvine set off from camp at 26,700 feet, bound for the summit of Everest. They were watched by Noel Odell who, in a famous despatch to The Times, described how the clouds parted to unveil the summit ridge and final peak of the roof of the world. He watched as the two black dots made towards the top, but after five minutes the clouds rolled in. They were never seen alive again.
Did Mallory and Irvine conquer Everest almost 30 years before Hillary and Tenzing? How did they die? Were they the Olympian heroes described by history? Was George Mallory - friend of Lytton Strachey, Duncan Grant and Rupert Brooke - attempting to fulfil some poetic ideal by choosing as his climbing partner the inexperienced young Irvine?
