An extraordinary journey through stormbound peaks, perilous oceans, and the raw, transformative depths of human tragedy.
On June 8, 1924, George Mallory and Sandy Irvine disappeared on Mount Everest’s Northeast Ridge, leaving behind an enduring question: did they achieve the summit before their tragic end? Drawing on his extraordinary experience as the only living person to have looked into Mallory’s preserved face, the author offers a unique perspective on their fateful climb. By combining historical evidence, physical clues discovered on Everest, and the emotional gravity of retracing their steps, Pollard provides a compelling analysis of what might have unfolded during their final hours on the mountain.
But this book is not just about the author's four expeditions to Everest, or his ill-fated ancient reed ship expedition to Easter Island, or killer Alaskan storms on Denali. It includes the tragic suicide of a brother, betrayal on the mountain, and how the author turned profound loss into a catalyst for personal evolution. Here there are lessons in gratitude and the redemptive power of nature, risk, and connection to the world.

Thom Pollard is a mountaineer, adventurer, and filmmaker. As high-altitude cameraman for the 1999 Mallory and Irvine Research Expedition, he played a key role in the historic discovery of George Mallory’s body, 75 years after his disappearance during his attempt to become the first to climb Mount Everest. Mallory and his partner Sandy Irvine were last seen above 28,000 feet, and their fate remains one of the greatest mysteries in modern exploration. Pollard’s work has been featured in 'National Geographic Magazine' , on PBS and the BBC, and his Everest-focused YouTube channel, Everest Mystery , has garnered over 100,000 subscribers.
