520 1 $a"When the 1999 Mallory & Irvine Research Expedition found George Mallory's body high on Everest, the news made headlines around the world - and ignited an intense debate. One question, at least, remained unanswered: What happened to Mallory's partner, Andrew Irvine? In 2001, the Research Expedition returned in search of further clues among the high camps on Everest's north side. Detectives on Everest is the account of this second expedition and what it found, including new artifacts from the early British and Chinese climbs on Everest." "This is also the story of a dramatic rescue. On their final summit push, four members of the team came upon five climbers trapped on the summit ridge. Putting aside their own ambitions, the team members pulled off one of the highest and most technically difficult rescues in history even as other climbers passed them by, refusing to help. Although the rescue effectively ended the expedition, it gave the team new perspective on life and renewed their respect for the mountain and its history." "But the adventure does not end there. Surprisingly, the most tantalizing clue to the mystery of Mallory and Irvine came not from Everest - but from Beijing. Shortly after the expedition ended, the authors traveled to China to interview climbers from the 1960 and 1975 Chinese expedition. What they were told might hold the key for future detectives on Everest."--BOOK JACKET.
