"It's the greatest mountaineering mystery of all time"
Available for over a year
Former Shrewsbury School boy Sandy Irvine went missing climbing Everest 100 years ago with his partner George Mallory. Last month, a team of climbers came across a preserved boot, with a sock and remains of a foot that are believed to belong to Sandy. It is hoped the discovery could help solve one of mountaineering's greatest mysteries and bring some closure to Irvine's relatives. Julie Summers is a historian and Sandy Irvine's great niece.
