Jeffa, I believe it was 1924. This is what Hilary said regarding the theory that Mallory did reach the top: "If you climb a mountain for the first time and die on the descent, is it really a complete first ascent of the mountain? I am rather inclined to think personally that maybe it is quite important, the getting down, and the complete climb of a mountain is reaching the summit and getting safely to the bottom again."[55] Jeffery Archer wrote a really gripping novel about the Mallory Expedition..."Paths Of Glory".
