Mountaineer Conrad Anker gave a great presentation about the discovery of Mallory's body on Everest at the local library district years ago. Lots on Google about it.
ReplyDeleteI've done a lot of study of this question, and I've concluded that Mallory likely summeted, then fatally fell on the descent.
