Reviews
"Compelling, thoroughly researched and beautifully written, Mick Conefrey's Fallen is a biography that strives to get to the heart and mind, and not just the achievements, of one of the most famous and obsessive mountaineers in history. -- Robert Wainwright, author of THE MAVERICK MOUNTAINEER Mallory and Irvine's 1924 attempt on Everest is a foundational mountaineering epic, and Mick Conefrey's Fallen brings the story to life in gripping style. George Mallory-imperfect and all too human, admirable and ambitious-drives the narrative as Conefrey details not only the 1924 expedition, but also its backstory and aftermath. Mallory and the mysteries surrounding his attempt on the world's highest mountain still grip the world's imagination today; Conefrey's deeply-researched and convincingly-told account shows us why. Fallen belongs on the shelf of Himalayan and Everest classics. -- Patrick Dean, author of A WINDOW TO HEAVEN: THE DARING FIRST ASCENT OF DENALI: AMERICA'S WILDEST PEAK Mick Conefrey's Fallen is a marvellously researched and written story about the enigma of George Mallory and the fulfilment of his ""Because it's there!"" * Peter Hillary *"
