On the 8th of June, 1924, George Mallory and Sandy Irvine were seen through a telescope on the upper slopes of Mount Everest. They were never seen alive again. In 1999, Mallorys body was found below the ridge where he was last seen. In the 100 years since his disappearance, many words have been written about Mallory, but very little has ever been published of his own thoughts. Letters from Everest is an eye opening set of personal letters from Mallory to his family, collected and published for the first time by his great-nephew.

His writing is full of extraordinary insights most of which have never been published in any form. They are a unique collection an actual reflection, possibly the one and only, of the thoughts of a climbing legend who walked into history a century ago.
