Boot found on Everest may solve 100-year-old climbing mystery | BBC News


A preserved foot believed to belong to an Everest climber has been found on the north face of the mountain a century after he disappeared.

Andrew "Sandy" Irvine vanished alongside his climbing partner, the famous mountaineer George Mallory, when attempting to reach the summit.

This discovery could potentially help solve whether or not the pair succeeded in becoming the first people to summit Everest, 29 years before Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay reached the top.
