Notes
- "On May 1, 1999, the Mallory & Irvine Research Expedition found George Mallory’s body - astonishingly well preserved - high on the wind-swept North Face of Everest. But that is not all they found. In Mallory’s pockets, and elsewhere on the mountain, the researchers found answers to the question that has plagued historians and mountaineers alike: Did they make it? And if they did, what happened to them?" "Ghosts of Everest is the exclusive inside story of what they found and, for the first time, what this new evidence tells us about Mallory and Irvine’s momentous last day."–BOOK JACKET
