Mountaineer George Mallory disappeared attempting to conquer the highest peak in the world. Seventy-five years later, Mallory’s body was finally found on Everest. This exciting book describes how his quest began an obsession by other climbers to be the first to the top, and how Everest has become a magnet for amateurs and tourists since it was finally conquered by Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay in 1953.
