WalkingCloud on October 11, 2024 11:09 am Wow, this is huge news! Amazing that it was Jimmy Chin of all people who visit Everest to find it too. Especially if they go on to find the camera.
LightningGeek on October 11, 2024 11:12 am I can’t believe it’s already been 25 years since they found Mallory’s remains. It’s good to know the Irvine family have closure now as well. Hopefully they find the rest of his remains and get closer to finding out if they made it or not.
bhhhhhhhtyc on October 11, 2024 11:15 am I wonder if they can find the rest of the body and the camera, although I suspect they’ve been churned up by the glacier and are now long gone. Still, I’m choosing to believe that he and Mallory made it to the summit. Legends regardless.
