Mallory and Irvine - Ghosts on Everest

High above the world, where the wind screams and the air itself turns hostile, two men vanished into legend.

In June 1924, George Mallory and Andrew Irvine ascended into the death zone of Mount Everest—draped not in modern gear, but in wool, hope, and obsession. They were last seen climbing toward the summit, swallowed by mist… and then, nothing.

No cry. No descent. No proof.

For nearly a century, the mountain has kept its secret. Did they stand atop the world before disappearing into its icy silence? Or did Everest take their lives before it gave them glory?

What remains are fragments: a torn sleeve, a pickaxe, a frozen body found decades too late. Whispers of a lost camera. A photo meant for the summit. And a question that haunts every climber who dares follow: Did they make it?

This is not just a story of exploration. It is a requiem. A riddle carved in ice. A slow echo from the Roof of the World—where history, ambition, and the cold devour everything.
