Cool Conversations with Kenton Cool

Mark and Erich: Unearthing History


Listen Later

Whilst at Everest Basecamp this year, Kenton recorded this episode with Mark Fisher and Erich Roepke who made arguably the most exciting Everest discovery of recent years when they found Andrew Cormyn (“Sandy”) Irvine’s boot on the North Side of the mountain late last year.

It was almost exactly 100 years since Irvine and Mallory went missing on their 1924 Everest expedition and whilst Mallory’s remains were found in 1999, there has been no trace of Irvine… until now.

Erich and Mark tell Kenton what led them to make this discovery and their subsequent actions. We’re not going to give anything else away here - tune in to hear the whole story!
