An Afterclap of Fate Mallory on Everest

The perennial mystery of Mallory and Irvine on Everest receives an inriguing
twist in a reconstruction of their fateful climb written virtually in
Mallory`s own words. Drawn from the climber`s letters, writing and Mallory`s
background as a classicist, this is a new forensic examination of the evidence
and points to one firm conclusion – short listed for the 2006 Boardman Tasker
award.

This is the most detailed and convincingly though account so far of what
happened on Mallory`s last climb on Everest. The events of what actually
occurred on that final summit assault in 1924, Sir Chris Bonington has called
mountaineering`s greatest mystery.
