520    On the 6th June, 1924, George Mallory and Sandy Irvine 
       disappeared into the mists of history. Mallory's body was 
       discovered high on Everest in 1999; Irvine's body is still
       believed to be on the mountain. Hoyland became the 15th 
       English man to climb Everest, having become obsessed by 
       the mountain and the myth of what happened to Mallory and 
       Irvine. He provides a detailed reconstruction of what 
       happened after the two English climbing legends left the 
       camp on that fateful day.
