"May 1, 1999
Today I made an incredible discovery while climbing on Everest - the body of George Mallory, missing for over 75 years. We were searching for clues about his final ascent when I stumbled upon him emerging from the ice. His skin and clothing were remarkably well preserved after all this time. It was eerie to come face to face with this legendary historical figure. While I'm sad for the tragic end he met, I'm thrilled we can finally piece together what happened. This finds answers questions that have puzzled climbers for generations. I feel humbled to play a part in solving this enduring mystery."
