1924 climber’s foot found on Everest

Tessa Wong and Flora Drury for the BBC:

Last month, a team of climbers filming a National Geographic documentary stumbled on a preserved boot, revealed by melting ice on a glacier.

This boot was believed to belong to Andrew Comyn “Sandy” Irvine, who disappeared while attempting to climb Everest in June 1924 with his partner George Mallory.

Whenever these remains are found it’s such a relief to the families and such a crazy weird thing to think about for the larger mountaineering community. Who gets Jimmy Chin on their podcast first to tell the full story?
