I need to ask: "Is his body above the buzzard line?"

As a matter of fact, yes.

Here is a picture of Mallory's body, preserved for over 50 years on the slopes of Everest. See how his skin and hair, while bleached, are still in tact?

Mallory's body, preserved for over 50 years on the slopes of Everest.

Almost exactly 82 (lost June 1924)

There are some little black birds that can make it up that high for a few months a year.

I don't see his head. Could you point it out?

I saw the expedition that found his body. Very remarkable program.

Good thing "Sam McGee from Tennessee" didn't try to scale Everest. He'd still be complaining. Brrrrr.
