Hillary officially summited on 29 May 1953 - George Mallory was seen ' Going Strong for the Summit ' with Sandy Irvine in June 1924 by Neil Odell who positioned them above the second step (around mid day) - but both were never seen alive again - with no absolute proof of reaching the summit - Mallorys preseved body was found some years ago (1999 I think) - but still no evidence of the summit - There is a film on the subject ' The Wildest Dream ' and loads of info on the WWW and also many books - there is currently a search for the body of Sandy Irvine in progress on Everest hoping to find the camera - with the ' proof' shot - opinion is split 50/50 to whether they summited!
