Talk by Moira MacQuaide

George Mallory was a mountaineer, who took part in the 1921, 1922 and 1924 expeditions to Mount Everest. He conducted a thorough reconnaissance of the mountain and looked to determine the most viable route to the summit, hopefully being the first to reach the top. Mallory sadly died on the mountain – but was he still on his way up, or was he on his way down, having reached the summit? Local historian Moira will look at this question and share some unknown facts.
