Did Mallory and Irvine reach Everest's summit 30 years before Hillary and Tenzing? Until now, clues about what happened to these two Everest pioneers had been scant and misleading. Until now, no one has known whether they reached the summit. Until now, no one has known where or how they perished. This is a detective story of the first order. It is the story not just of Mallory and Irvine's last climb, but of the team of climbers and researchers who, together, found the body of perhaps Britain's greatest mountaineer and uncovered the startling story he had waited so long to reveal. Written by the three key members of the team, and incorporating extensive interviews with other team members, "Ghosts Of Everest" is the dramatic unfolding of both the 1999 and 1924 expeditions, woven together into a compelling narrative. This book is the definitive account and has become an instant classic.

Durante tres cuartas partes de siglo, esto es lo único que se ha sabido con certeza: poco después del amanecer del 6 de junio de 1924, dos miembres de la expedición británica al Everest salieron de sus tiendas en el Col norte, una cornisa de roca, hielo y nieve situada a 7.065 metros de altura y barrida por el viento, entre la enorme mole de propio Everest y el monte contiguo, el Changtse, de menor altitud. Dos días más tarde. a las 12.50, fueron vistos en la cresta nororiental de la montaña, "subiendo con paso firme hacia la crima."Nunca volvieron.Hasta ahora, las pistas sobre lo que sucedió a estos dos exploradores del Everest eran escasas y confusas. Hasta ahora, nadie sabía si llegaron a la cumbre. Hasta ahora, nadie sabía dónde ni cómo perecieron.Los Fantasmas del Everest es una historia de detectives de primer orden. Es la historia no s&#243lo del &#250ltimo ascenso de Mallory e Irvine, sin tambi&#233n la del equipo de escaladores e investigadores que hallaron el cad&#225ver de quiz&#225 el m&#225s gran monta&#241ero ingl&#233s de todos los tiempos, y descubrieron la verdad de los hechos.

Ghosts of Everest: The Search for Mallory & Irvine: From the Expedition That Discovered Mallory's Body

Larry A. Johnson

GHOSTS OF EVEREST unravels one of the most puzzling and compelling adventure mysteries of all time. On June 6, 1924, George Leigh Mallory and Andrew Comyn Irvine were only a few hundred feet short of becoming the first men to reach the highest spot on earth when they simply walked into the mist, never to be seen again. Did they reach the summit of Mount Everest - nearly three decades before Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay? This is the meticulous report of both the 1924 British Expedition and the 1999 Mallory &amp; Irvine Research Expedition which found George Mallory's body and answers to the questions that have plagued historians and mountaineers alike: Did they make it? And, if they did, what happened to them? 
"...a work of historic importance that reads like a detective thriller..." (Publishers Weekly)
