Tomorrow, June 8, 2024, is the 100th Anniversary of George Mallory and Andrew Irvine's disappearance high on Mount Everest. As most of you know, this story and mystery has been a big part of my life for 25 years, and remains so.
To commemorate the day and honor the men, I'll be doing something that, honestly, is a bit terrifying: going live on YouTube (assuming I can make the tech work!) and sharing the story of 1924, of Mallory and Irvine as best I know it, and of my interaction with the story over 2.5 decades.
Timing was a tough choice, as people from all over the world are interested in this story. So, I finally chose a time that seemed to maybe work for the most people: 4:00 PM Mountain Standard Time. You can use this handy tool to calculate what that equates to in your timezone.

I hope you can join me for a fun story session tomorrow!
I am so appreciative that you include Irvine, treating him as much a part of Mallory's story as is fitting. It's disappointing that so often, he is given nothing more than a quick mention. He deserves so much more when - goodness! - he was right there alongside Mallory on this expedition and the final climb. and so I thank you!
Thank you! Yes, Irvine is so integral to the whole story, amazing that he is often so glossed over. Thanks again!
