Mallory and Irvine The Final Chapter Everest 2005:

The research continues

“In my 18 years in the climbing team, I climbed Everest six or seven times. But I never reached the peak for different reasons. It is a great pity for me. I faced death for no less than ten times. But I don’t think that forges my personality to any degree. In those years everyone was a firm Communist.” Mr. Liu Lianman in an exclusive interview with EverestNews.com.

Research on last year's findings from our Mallory and Irvine expedition continues. Research into what all the Chinese found in 1960, 1975 and other years continue as well. More on what Mr. Liu Lianman (Chinese Everest expedition member) told us later. Research into what other climbers have found over the years and removed from the mountain is also developing.

While some think they have all the answers, we think there is still much to learn. The work continues. It is slow, takes a great deal of time, and costs money. But when we are completed, the history of the Chinese Everest expeditions as published in the west (America) will be rewritten, correctly this time. Time will tell if the history of George and Sandy will be rewritten.

With our kindest regards and thanks, The Staff at EverestNews.com

We return to Mount Everest in search of an answer.

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.
