Description

Published by Henry Holt, New York, 1986, 1st US Edition, D/w, Fine.    A classic re-creation and exploration of what really happened on Everest in 1924 when Mallory and Irvine disappeared on their summit attempt, and whether they, or at least one of them, might have been successful almost thirty years before Hillary and Tenzing.  Written by Tom Holzel, an American mountaineer who strongly believed that Mallory had made the summit, as did such eminent climbers as Geoffrey Winthrop Young and Noel Odell, and the leading mountaineering and Everest historian, Audrey Salkeld, this book is well regarded for the efforts made by the authors to diligently research and analyse to find the truth of what actually happened in 1924.
