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.
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.
So, BBC lies. There was no foot there was a sock and boot
Dear Mrs. Irvine: We have some good news, we found your son’s foot.
Apparently, there is something afoot upon Mt. Everest!
“Could the discovery of the BOOT be the FIRST STEP to finding his body - and the camera?”
OK, that cracked me up! :)
Remarkable to think anyone with leather boots would attempt to summit Everest.
Just a mere foot short of his goal!
On a side note, the ice has receded to where it was 100 years ago. Therefore, can we say the ice has returned to normal? Once again, global warming is righting the wrongs of the world. Thank you, global warming. Thank you!
His fiancé was so true and pure, she never married over these many years, and she returned to Everest as soon as she heard the news. She is there now waiting, and thanks to global warming, the rest of the body should be delivered from the glacier any day now.

“Into the Silence” is a great book about these men. The author, Wade Davis, is probably a leftie but he put together an incredible account.
A Real Legacy -—
I’d say !
Was it near the ashes of Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman?
“Yay, he’s saved”?
Irvine used to be a foot taller....
What a hellova way to go: Your foot gets cut off on Mt. Everest. I wonder if he cut off his own foot to get out of a life-threatening jam.
Poor sole.
Simon and Shoester was founded in 1924.
Coincidence?
