The Unsolved Mt. Everest Mystery
of Mallory & Irvine presented by Ed Webster
The mysterious events
surrounding the 1924 deaths
of two British mountaineers
on Mt Everest to this day is
mountaineering’s Greatest Unsolved Mystery.
On June 8, 1924, British climbers George Mallory
38, and his young partner, Andrew Irvine, 22, were last
seen by a team-mate within a thousand feet of Mt.
Everest’s summit. The clouds swirled back in, and the
pair were never seen again.
Generations of mountaineers – and armchair
speculators – have questioned and postulated on
Mallory & Irvine’s summit success. Equally important:
What was their actual fate? How did Mallory & Irvine
die? Precisely where on the peak did each man perish
– and what caused the fatal accident, or accidents, that
doomed them. In 1999, George Mallory’s body was
found at 27,000 feet on Mt. Everest, but no camera and
film or Andrew Irvine’s body has ever been located.
Ed Webster an Everest climber, New England
mountaineer, and climbing historian, will be our
presenter and tell us about what in fact probably
happened. Ed Webster has obtained the ORIGINAL
