Detailed Product Description
UK, 2006, 1st edition. 48 pp, 12 color & 13 b/w photos. The Mallory clothing replicas challenge the conventional view that Mallory's clothing and equipment were inadequate for his ill-fated 1924 Everest expedition. Based on the scientific analysis of textile fragments from the original clothing, uncovered on Everest in 1999, and brought back by Conrad Anker and the American team, the clothing replicas were created to provide a better understanding of the construction of the garments. They demonstrate how effective they would have been at providing protection at altitude, and have been rigorously laboratory-tested for comparison with current mountaineering products.
 
Graham Hoyland, mountaineer and great-nephew of 1924 Everest climber Howard Somervell, has field-tested on Everest an exact replica of the clothing worn by George Mallory in 1924 . He concluded it was: 'very pleasant to wear, easy movement, sufficiently warm to summit.'
 
The replicas are the result of a three-year project headed by Professor Mary B. Rose and Mike Parsons both of Lancaster University Management School's IEED.
 
Research work and replication was undertaken at the Universities of Leeds, Southampton and Derby; the £30,000 project was funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund with added support from the Pasold Research Fund and the Clothing for Extremes conference and under the direction of the Mountain Heritage Trust. New Paperback.
