Andrew “sandy” Irvine

[Vwj]

So he went missing in 1924 with Mallory on their expedition to conquer everest, last seen less than 300 meters from the top, Mallory was found in 1999,without his camera or picture of his wife,
Rumour had it that the. Chinese found him in 1976 but never reported it and hid him so that they could say that could say they were first to summit via that route
Now it seems a part of him has been found

Well he looks good for someone who went missing 100 years ago eh?

Saw this today really interesting.

Hopefully they find the camera (although someone has said they saw one like the one they had in a Chinese private collection), it’ll put to bed the question of did they make it, I honestly think they did from the picture of Mallory’s wife missing,
But they said that sandy was ground up from being in the glacier for 100 years

China and their revisionist history. They did everything first and invented everything too, you know? It's amazing those mountains they put up there are still standing after all this time!

If this guy was Haitian, he probably would have eaten the foot and the boot as well.

It is said that Irvine wanted to leave his wifes' picture on the summit. That's why some people still believe he and Mallory actually did make it to the top and are officially the first to do so.

But then they got Death Zoned and the Chinese stole their camera with all the ploof.

Sorry, Mallory had a picture of his wife on him, Irvine wasn't married.

Oh also, sorry, kind of obsessed with Everest/mountaineering, but it's very likely more really old bodies will rise to the surface, due to melting of gletshers/global warming etc. Plus more avalanches so more new bodies.

It's the ciiiiiircle of life.
