What about George Leigh Mallory who "May" have been the first person at the summit of Everest? If they ever find his body it will be interesting to see if he actually that vest pocket Kodak Camera.

They found his body several years ago, it was determined that it was highly unlikely he made the summit of Mt. Everest.

As far as I know they only found the body of his climbing companion not Mallory's. If the Mountain ever melts enough the secrets will be revealed.

I stand corrected, I just checked the web and they claim that was Mallory's body they found. I thought that at the time in 1999 they claimed they found Irvine's body.
The only proof was a name tag on the clothes that they belonged to Mallory, but could have been Irvine.
Like I say if enough snow ever melts the truth may be settled one way or another.
