Fifty years ago this week George Mallory and Andrew Irvine died in an attempt to become the first men to set foot on the summit of Mount Everest.
Mallory was the outstanding mountaineer of an age very different from that of today's ' hard men.' His famous reply to the question ' Why climb Everest?' was Because it's there.' But was there no more to it than that?
