While it is theoretically possible that one of them took the other's remaining oxygen supply at the Second Step obstacle, and continued on alone, the blinding snow squall that enveloped them at 2PM was far too fierce for their wholly inadequate clothing to withstand. The likelihood is that they turned around below the Second Step--a serious cliff at or beyond Mallory's climbing capabilities--and were caught in the squall. They slipped once at the site of Irvine's ice ax, found 9 years later. both survived but were separated. Mallory likely continued descending, searching for Irvine. But Irvine was actually higher up and traversed some 50 yds before he fell again and died of exposure.
