THIRD POLE (PB)

George Mallory and Sandy Irvine were last seen in 1924, eight hundred feet shy of Everest's summit. Irvine carried a camera with him to record their attempt, but it, along with his body, had never been found. Mark Synnott made his own ascent up the infamous North Face to try and find Irvine's body and the camera. But during a season described as 'the one that broke Everest', Synnott's quest became something bigger than the original mystery that drew him there - an attempt to understand the madness of the mountain and why it continues to have a magnetic draw on explorers.
