SUMMARY:Williamson Art Gallery & Museum: Williamson Art Gallery & Museum: M
 allory & Irvine - 100 Years
DESCRIPTION:\nMallory &amp\; Irvine – 100 Years\n\nFREE\n&nbsp\;\n\n\nFre
 e Tickets\n\n2024 marks the 100th anniversary of the first British attempt
  to reach the summit of Mount Everest. But did you know that both George M
 allory and Andrew ‘Sandy’ Irvine both spent time in their childhoods i
 n Birkenhead?\n\nTo commemorate this anniversary we will welcome Julie Sum
 mers to the Williamson for a talk on Sandy Irvine\, his life at Park Road 
 South\, Birkenhead\, and his role in this historic expedition. Julie will 
 speak about Sandy’s early life in Birkenhead\, his rowing career and his
  successful crossing of the Norwegian Island of Spitsbergen before focusin
 g on the 1924 Mount Everest expedition. There is no mystery in British mou
 ntaineering more famous than the story of George Mallory and Sandy Irvine.
  Julie will give background to the early Everest expeditions (1921\, 1922)
  before zooming in on 1924 and sharing her thoughts on whether or not the 
 two Birkenhead men reached the summit of the world’s highest mountain 29
  years before Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary.\n\nJulie Summers is Sandy
  Irvine’s great niece and biographer. She started working on the 1924 Mo
 unt Everest expedition over 25 years ago and published Fearless on Everes
 t: The Quest for Sandy Irvine in 2000. It remains in print. Since then sh
 e has written 13 more works on non-fiction\, worked a stint as the Chairma
 n of the Mountain Heritage Trust and is currently the Royal Literary Fund 
 Fellow at Kellogg College\, Oxford.\n\n
