Mallory and Irvine: Is the trail dead? No significant search efforts appear to be planned, of course few efforts are public as the hunt appears to be under the radar. The chances of finding any of the numerous cameras various sources claim Sandy was wearing appear to be thin and none. Below are some pictures of "20's mountaineering equipment found on the north side of Mt. Everest by Chinese climbing team" according to Chinese sources. One wonders if the Chinese took cameras back with them too....  Xu Jing. told our reporter in 2004 “We saw the body of Mallory in 1975”, “In 1975, Wang Hongbao came across the body. At 8,100 meters he found a foreign ice axe. Later on he had an accident, he was killed in an avalanche.”

Everest 2007 will bring a huge number of climbers to Everest, and on the wild wild west side of Everest the hunt will surely continue, under the radar...

A cold weather, high altitude double boot for extreme conditions The Olympus Mons is the perfect choice for 8000-meter peaks. This super lightweight double boot has a PE thermal insulating inner boot that is coupled with a thermo-reflective outer boot with an integrated gaiter. We used a super insulating lightweight PE outsole to keep the weight down and the TPU midsole is excellent for crampon compatibility and stability on steep terrain.
