The Happiness Quotient

Sandy Irvine's Family STUNNED by Discovery of His Remains on Everest after 100 Years with Biographer Julie Summers


Listen Later

Just imagine the surprise and shock you would get if when your telephone rings one morning and it's a call from Kathmandu, Nepal and on the end is a world famous mountaineer, that his team has found the partial remains of your long lost great uncle, who disappeared 100 years ago. That happened to today's guest, Julie Summers, the great niece of Sandy Irvine, who disappeared alongside his climbing partner George Mallory on June 8, 1924 endeavoring to become the first to stand on top of the world's highest mountain, Mount Everest.

I interviewed Julie from her home in Oxford, England.She shares her shock at receiving the call and discusses all things about the Mystery of Mallory and Irvine and what might have happened on that fateful day in June of 1924.

The interview with Julie has been edited for brevity. The full interview with Julie can be heard on The Happiness Quotient podcast at this link:
