Jeffrey Archer Discredits Sir Edmund Hillary In ''
The fiction based on the life of George Mallory who passed away on Mt.Everest in 1924, 29 years before Hillary along with the Nepali Sherpa Tenzing Norgay made to the tallest peak according to the reports of NZPA.
Many
of
the
admirers
of
Mallory
who
feel
that
Mallory
had
made
it
to
the
summit
who
was
last
seen
just
a
few
hundred
meters
below
the
summit
and
died
shortly
afterwards,
deserves
the
credit
attributed
to
Hillary
as
well
Jeffrey Archer's new tome concludes with Mallory becoming the "first man to stand on top of the earth" has again stoked the rumours of whether Mallory would have been much ahead of Hillary in making history even before 29 years.
However, Graeme Dingle, fellow mountaineer and friend of Hillary said of Archer's premise: "He's dreaming. There's essentially no chance Mallory got to the top. All the evidence points to them not making it." He also went on to say that Archer portrayed Mallory as the first to summit the mountain was none the less the outcome of an wounded English pride at being outwon by a colonial.
"The English were desperate to get to the top and they didn't get there, even in 1953. I think the English are pretty sensitive about it. They've got nothing to be ashamed about, they had a lot of glorious failures," he added.
In
2001,
Archer's
political
career
came
to
a
disgraced
end
in
Britain
for
having
found
guilty
of
perjury
and
he
