Simple, look for a really old guy with a wooden leg.

It would definitely be interesting if they could find a camera with pictures in it. Of course, pictures may or may not prove they made it to the summit. Back then, knowledge about Everest was very limited.

Well, Hillary C. will have to change her name now. Irvine Clinton?

Those were some hearty men. That boot looks a Justin work boot with some fence staples in the sole. My feet get cold climbing in the Rockies in the winter. I am wearing Sportiva Nepal Cubes.

Groan! But that’s a good one!

Dear Mrs. Irvine: We have some good news, we found your son’s foot.
To: SunkenCiv
Just as I have always postulated: he was eaten by a yeti.

“Could the discovery of the BOOT be the FIRST STEP to finding his body - and the camera?”
OK, that cracked me up! :)

She has to stay antipodal to Mt Everest to keep the Earth from going out of balance.

Mallory’s hobnailed boots were sticking out, so the identification of his more or less intact body was basically immediate.
