	NOVA Online \| Lost on Everest \| Mallory
		George Leigh Mallory was the only climber to take part in all three of the British pioneering expeditions to Mount Everest in the 1920s.
		Mallory was the son of a clergyman, an idealist and a romantic, and he was married with three small children.
		But as Mallory put it, "to refuse the adventure is to run the risk of drying up like a pea in its shell." They were walking off the known map, with high hopes of scaling a mountain no Westerner had ever seen at close quarters, venturing into atmospheres thinner than anyone had climbed into before.

		George Leigh Mallory and Andrew Comyn Irvine: the day the headlines broke in England and around the world, they became a national tragedy and classical old world heroes.
		I treated George Leigh Mallory with the memory of my father who died when I was 14, and with the honor of my mother who passed on when I was 24.
		The handling of George Mallory was with great respect and he lies today intact, not broken in any way, but just as we found him, except but covered by the rocks that have accompanied his remains these last 75 years.

		Mallory, 38, who had been on both previous expeditions, was regarded as one of Britain's finest climbers.
		Mallory's injuries indicated he died after a leg-snapping fall, and a climbing rope twisted around his waist suggested he and Irvine had stayed together until the accident.
		Mallory's body was found face down, his head solidly encased in ice and rocks.

		On earlier attempts, Mallory had felt instinctively that to use oxygen bottles to assist breathing in the thin air was somehow unsporting.
		And to Mallory, Irvine would be his ticket to success at the summit of Everest, for Irvine could take apart and rebuild the unreliable rigs that were used in their day.
		Mallory and Irvine were last spotted, through mist, in the early afternoon of June 8 by geologist Noel Odell, who was following behind in support.

		George, with the Summit seeming to be "right there", jumps at the chance, and with a boost (there are few options for a possible route there) from his buddy; George is over the Second Step and heading towards the Summit.
		George Mallory died within a few minutes; either by falling or being hit in the head by a rock and then falling.

	The Tribune...Sunday Reading
		The mystery of Mallory’s disappearance near the summit became, over the next 75 years, a symbol of vanquished heroism, summed up by his explanation of why he returned three times to tackle the world’s highest peak: "Because it is there".
		Erin Copland, a spokeswoman for the Mallory and Irvine Research Expedition in Ashford, Washington, USA, said on May 4 that other artifacts were taken from the body, including "written material" and a broken rope that strongly suggested Mallory plunged to his death.
		The expedition of 1924 was Mallory’s third attempt on Everest and it was clear that on his return he would have to concentrate on a career.

		British climbers George Mallory and Andrew Irvine never returned from their final attempt on the north side of Mount Everest on 8th June 1924.
		George Mallory was considered to be one of the most talented climbers of his generation.
		George's father had by then changed the family name to Leigh-Mallory, resulting in the rather cumbersome formation of Mallory's full name on the register.

		Mallory was lost somewhere high on the North side of Everest on June 8, 1924.
		The problem with the theory that Mallory summitted is the question of how he got over that notch.
		However, the team that found Mallory's body is incorrect in saying that nobody else has ever climbed the North Ridge without the ladder: last year, another expedition, finding the ladder damaged, did manage to climb it, as did a member of the expedition sent to find Mallory's body.

	George Leigh Mallory's Artifacts
		In the ornately beautiful Dynasty Room (the former bed chamber of a Rana princess) of the Kathmandu's venerable Yak and Yeti Hotel, the members of the Mallory and Irvine Research Expedition met the world press for the first time since their historic discovery of George Leigh Mallory's body on May 1st.
		Simonson also announced that proceeds from the sale of images of Mallory's body will go to Himalayan charities to be determined later— and he hopes to have the involvement of the Mallory family and other appropriate parties.
		Anker concluded by saying that, in his opinion, it is unlikely that Mallory or Irvine could have reached the summit in 1924, not just because of the technical problems of the Second Step, but because of other difficulties on the final part of the route.

		The mystery of George Leigh Mallory and Andrew Irvine’s 1924 expedition is etched in mountaineering history but inhospitable shooting locales in one of the most difficult terrains in the world, coupled with the financial risk, had kept Hollywood away.
		His family had said Mallory had intended to leave his wife’s picture at the top and would have been on his way down after summiting since the photograph wasn’t found on his body.
		In fact, Mallory seemed to have carried a survivor’s guilt after seven sherpas died during the 1922 expedition which might have given shape to the 1924 expedition,” McEachen said.

		George Mallory and Andrew Irvine were last seen at 8 000 metres on Everest’s north-east ridge.
		And if Mallory and Irvine were only at the First Step at 12.50 pm, then, based on their rate of ascent, it was calculated they could not possibly have reached the summit.
		This high pass between Everest and her closest neighbour to the north, Changtse, was first climbed by George Leigh Mallory in 1921 during the reconnaissance expedition to Everest.

	Amazon.com: The Wildest Dream: The Biography of George Mallory: Books: Peter Gillman,Leni Gillman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		When Mallory's frozen body was found on the high slopes of Everest in 1999, it touched off a wave of interest in the question of whether he had reached the top before falling to his death--which, if so, would unseat Edmund Hillary's 1953 expedition as the first to summit.
		To the Gillmans, British journalists and mountaineers who together retraced Mallory's 1921 reconnaissance expedition, the answer is plain: he hoped to resolve the conflict at the core of his marriage, to obviate the need for further expeditions and further separations from his beloved wife, Ruth.
		The subtitle bills this book as "THE" Biography of Mallory, implying that it's intended to be definitive, and it is. The authors are especially thorough in their discussion of Mallory's sexuality, a subject that other biographies either ignore (like the proverbial elephant in the living room) or equivocate on.

		This was the same George Mallory who gave the 20th century one of its pithiest sound bites, an irreducible koan that, however it was intended, has come down to us as the classic defense of reckless endeavor.
		In the case of Mallory and Irvine, we want to know what happened to them, to settle the mystery, and so we are impatient with inconclusive evidence, with incomplete reports and inconsistencies.
		Mallory's body was found in a catchment basin far to the north of the Second Step and most observers agree that he fell from well below the ridge, in a section of crumbly limestone called the Yellow Band.

	George Mallory
		Earlier this month, the well-organized, American "Mallory and Irvine Research Expedition," led by Eric Simonson, stepped over a couple of more recent human remains in the pinpointed search area before they found those of George Mallory, half buried in scree and ice at 27,000 feet for 75 years.
		The body was found with skin on the back exposed, frozen, bleached white as marble, wrapped with tattered remains of his tweed climbing suit, several layers of woolen and cotton underclothing, leather hobnailed boots, and a hemp rope round his waist.
		Mallory came from a long line of clergymen in Mobberley, Cheshire, and claimed descent from Thomas Malory, author of the fifteenth-century Le Morte d’Arthur.

		George Leigh Mallory, 38 years old and accompanied by his climbing companion, 22 year old Andrew "Sandy" Irvine set out to reach the top of the world.
		Irvine was included on the journey, at the request of Mallory due to his ability to repair the breathing apparatus that Mallory had decided, after long hours of contemplation, would be necessary to accomplish his objective: reach the summit of Mt. Everest.
		Mallory's goggles were found in his pocket so we can assume it was night time on the Yellow Band - They were coming down the mountain, oxygen-less, dehydrated and exhausted.

	Did George Leigh Mallory Summit Mt Everest? Clues and the Chinese
		Or Mallory turned around at the 2nd Step,and left Sandy on the ridge, climbed down alone, went past camp and then somehow turned around to the left and back up towards the mountain.
		It is far more likely that George summited Everest and came down the Great Couloir, a route he studied with Norton.
		If one assumes George was 1/2 as fast as Messner on the descent (note Messner did not use oxygen) then one would estimate it took George about 2 hours to the point where he died from he summit.

		While Mallory and Irvine were still high on the mountain, Noel Odell was descending, as Mallory had instructed him to do.
		George Mallory fell to his death from a spot well down the face of the Yellow Band, tantalizingly close to Camp VI and safety; his injuries are too mild, his body too unmarred, for there to be any other explanation.
		That Irvine fell too and was injured, though not as profoundly as Mallory, is suggested by the fact that the body found by Wang Hongbao, clearly Irvine's and not Mallory's, was within perhaps a half hour from the 1924 Camp VI.

		For some, perhaps, but this team believes that the central characters in this mystery, George Leigh Mallory and Andrew Comyn Irvine, were men of such great courage and determination that their inspiring story should be known and their accomplishments fully credited.
