donnamig avatar reviewed on + 16 more book reviews


A study of the mountaineering careers of George Leigh Mallory and Andrew Comyn Irvine, who were lost in an attempt to summit Mt. Everest in 1924, this book is also the account of the 1999 journey to find their bodies and determine whether Mallory and Irvine actually achieved the summit before perishing.

A fascinating book with many excellent photographs.
