"Fragment
of rope
The
rope was found wrapped around Mallorys body.
Note
that the rope has been cut and not broken. This
suggests that Mallory may have cut himself free
possibly from Irvine, or to release himself
if the rope had jammed. |
Mallory's
rope is currently shown at the British Mountaineering
Exhibition at Rheged. They show Mallory's rope with
the sign stating the above.
This
has caused people to wonder, So EverestNews.com asked
Eric Simonson, leader of the Mallory and Irvine 1999
Research expedition. His reply, "The Mallory rope
was cut by the 1999 team with a knife to get it off
his body (it was tightly wrapped and frozen around
it). Later, we tried to compare the cut ends
which had been cut by knife with the ends from
1924...to see if there was a difference. It was
inconclusive....we couldn't really tell one way or the
other, if, for example if the 1924 end had been cut or
broken in a fall.", Eric Simonson
When
shown the above picture and sign Eric stated, "These
guys are mistaken. We cut the rope, not George
Mallory!!"
Another
Mallory rumor solved.
