 Everest 2006: Mallory and Irvine The Search goes Deep Underground | |||||||||
| |||||||||
|
Q. So what happened to the Search for Mallory and Irvine in 2006? A. EverestNews.com: It can best be described as "Deep Underground" with wild rumors floating around about clothes, oxygen bottles, body parts and more being found. Q. What did these unknown searches REALLY find in 2006? A. EverestNews.com: Who knows... most probably nothing of importance, in that whatever "searching" occurred happened below the The Second Step... Therefore, what can anything they find really prove? Q. Could they confirm known facts, like Simo's team rediscovering the dead body of George Mallory? A. EverestNews.com: Possibly... But what what does all of that mean? We know George and Sandy died.... The Chinese gave locations of the bodies.... SO? Did they summit is the question, not if they died.... Q. Why are these people searching? A. EverestNews.com: You would need to ask whoever these people are .... Q. Why underground? A. EverestNews.com: Most searching in the last few years have been "underground" with little to no news being reported on them; From the Hahn search in 2004, or Graham's almost annual treks, to those in the shadows most likely looking to find some treasure... Why? Again you would need to ask them.... Q. So what now? A. EverestNews.com: Well mostly because of Sir Edmund Hillary brave words on walking by dying climbers, most of the world now knows the North Side of Everest is the Wild Wild West... We see little change in the future... The summit draw is very powerful... Doing something new or for history is very rare, even after 3000 summits of the hill... Q. What about EverestNews.com searching again? A. EverestNews.com: Once is enough... Q. Any new theories or evidence ? A. EverestNews.com: None that we can see. We still only see 2 ways real options on George got to where he died... We have seen no one come forward with any reasonable theories or adding to the very limited known facts. We have seen no real evidence showing that George summited or did not summit from anyone.... Q. Do you think The Second Step can be climbed? and how. A. EverestNews.com: Yes. LOL. One good climber. It is certainly not Mars or the Moon. Q. Do you think the Chinese know more. A. EverestNews.com: Yes, they clearly knew where George and Sandy were. It is easy to believe they knew much more, but the climbers are getting old, and much of what was they knew is probably gone.... Q. Do you think brave men willing to search up high will come forward to look for evidence above The Second Step? A. EverestNews.com: One day maybe, but we don't see any currently....
