About the book
On his third Everest expedition in June 1924, George Mallory and his climbing partner Andrew Irvine disappeared on the North-East ridge during their ascent - having been sighted only a few hundred metres from the summit. Makoto Fukamachi, photographer and mountaineer, continues his search for Habu Joji and the camera which could hold the secret to Mallory's attempt. His quest takes him high into Nepal to the town of Namche Bazar, capital of Sherpa country. Taniguchi's realistic art and Baku's timeless script will take readers to the heights mountaineers can only dream of.
