	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.

	July 20 - Sir Edmund Hillary, Tenzing Norgay, George Mallory, Andrew Irvine
		It was all the non-perishable remains of George Mallory, found with the body in 1999 by an expedition led by Washingtonian Eric Simonson.
		George Mallory was the man who answered the question "Why climb Mount Everest?" with "Because it's there." Since he spent almost his entire married life apart from his wife and children while attempting to accomplish this feat, I sure hope she found that answer as witty as the press did.
		Mallory, along with his 22-year-old climbing partner, Andrew Irvine, left their camp for the final ascent, as prepared as possible in those days, on June 6, 1924, and were last spotted through the mist on June 8.

		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.

		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.

		That Mallory, Irvine, and others reached such heights on Everest is nothing short of a type, effort, and endurance that put one in awe of these men.
		But what Mallory and his friends did was so extraordinary, and so many years prior to the summit being reached, in many ways the final mystery may be more of a curiosity for the ages.

		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.

		The author has had a lifelong obsession with George Mallory's three attempts to, in his hero's own words, "catch the summit by surprise" in 1921, 1922 and on the 1924 quest from which he never returned.
		Mallory's reason for climbing and his abilities not only qualified him then, but also continue to keep him in the Pantheon of the greatest climbers ever to have stepped on Everest, and a man who did so with respect for the mountain, and not for profit, and without endangering the lives of others.
		George Mallory and Andrew Irvine made their final attempt on the summit in tweed jackets and leather hobnailed boots.

		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.
		George Mallory's first climbing ground was the roof of his father's church in the Cheshire village of Mobberley.
		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.

		Mallory's natural grace and charm --- and a developing enthusiasm for learning --- brought him into the inner circles of Cambridge and close friendships with several members of the Bloomsbury group, the clique of English intellectuals.
		Mallory's connection to the Bloomsbury group apparently also brought him a trial run with homosexuality and a largely unrequited dalliance --- known to the group as "l'affaire George" --- with James Strachey, Lytton's brother.
