The definitive audiobook on British mountaineer Sandy Irvine and the mystery of his and George Mallory’s disappearance on Mount Everest in June 1924.

The fates of Mallory and Irvine, who were last seen disappearing into the clouds as they headed for the summit of Everest on 8 June 1924, still grips the imagination over one hundred years later. Mallory’s body was found in 1999 and Irvine’s boot and foot were discovered in 2024, becoming an international news story.

Drawing on a wealth of previously unpublished material and new discoveries, Irvine’s great-niece Julie Summers and mountaineering historian Jochen Hemmleb (who was part of the team that found Mallory’s body) have written the definitive account of the expedition from twenty-two-year-old Sandy’s perspective, challenging long-held misconceptions about his role.

They also bring to life all the remarkable characters involved in the attempt on Everest and reveal fascinating discoveries about what really happened on the men’s final climb.

Beautifully narrated, The Everest Mystery is a powerful tale of adventure and courage – and an intriguing detective story.

I loved this book. Lots of new information about Sandy Irvine and the rest of the team from 1924. It moves away from the usual narrative which tends to center around Geoge Mallory with everyone else often portrayed as bit part players. I recommend this book.

Great book with lots of new information and insight
