Mallory and Irvine

[sdreid]

Mallory and Irvine would make a fantastic movie. For some reason, as far as I know, one hasn't been made yet.

Sorry pal,

But anything by "Lord" Jeffery Archer is a work of fiction, including his life....alledgedly!

Also he has a spotty back, but, according to "Private Eye", his reputation is spotless!

Up the Owls. We will return.

There is another thread of the same name on here but I couldn't find it so I am starting this one.

A researcher found missing weather data which indicated that there was a very high degree of probability that there was a severe storm on the summit of Everest on the day Mallory and Irvine were making their attempt to summit. So it is not unreasonable that they would have turned back if that were the case.

I just became aware that there is supposed to be a very good book on Mallory and Irvine entitled "Paths of Glory" by Jeffrey Archer. I have plans to read it.
