Last Hours on Everest: The gripping story of Mallory and Irvine's fatal ascent by Graham Hoyland

An expert mountaineer cracks Everest's most intriguing mystery - did Mallory and Irvine reach the summit before they perished on its slopes?

On the 6th June 1924, mountaineers George Mallory and Sandy Irvine perished in their attempt to reach the summit of Everest.
