Summary
Edward Norton and his climbing party leave the Rongbuk base camp, their expedition to Everest ending with multiple climbers suffering frostbite, exhaustion, and "dilated hearts." The loss of Mallory and Irvine haunts their journey, while the mountaineering world remains preoccupied with the question of whether the two men reached the summit.
