The tragic disappearance of George Mallory and Andrew Irvine near Everest's summit in 1924 has captivated adventurers for decades. Their fate remained a mystery until Mallory's body was discovered in 1999, sparking renewed speculation about whether they reached the top. In "La Última Ascensión," climber David Breashears and historian Audrey Salkeld present new evidence to explore this question. The book goes beyond the Everest ascent, offering an engaging narrative of Mallory's earlier Himalayan expeditions and a vivid portrayal of a bygone era in mountaineering.
