About this title: This memoir by mountain climber Conrad Anker tells how he discovered the body of long-lost climber George Mallory, who had disappeared, with his partner Sandy Irvine, during a 1924 ascent of Mount Everest. Anker's memoir is balanced with a parallel narrative by David Roberts, which tells the story of Mallory's expedition. The question of how and where Mallory died is answered, but there is still speculation about whether or not Mallory and Irvine ever successfully reached the top of Everest.

""On June 8, 1924, George Leigh Mallory and Andrew Irvine disappeared somewhere near the summit of Mount Everest, leaving open the tantalizing question of whether they had reached the summit of Everest twenty-nine years before Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay."
This is as action/adventure as I want to ever get. I read it in 2002, and I'm still cold. Bundle up, and start climbing!"
"I love high mountains, exploring, adventure travel. The question of Mallory reaching the summit of Everest will remain unanswered. The real story is that he dared to try in a time before all the technology that exists for mountaineers today."
