Secrets about the first failed bid to conquer Everest 100 years ago have gone on show in Shoreditch to mark its centenary. 
The Alpine Club is mounting a public display at its east London base camp HQ from June 22 with never-before-seen photographs, documents and artefacts from several expedition attempts in the 1920s.

The attempts include George Mallory and Sandy Irvine, who died in 1924 in pursuit of getting to the top of the world’s tallest mountain.  
“These men lived in the true age of exploration,” renowned mountaineer and former Alpine Club president John Porter said. “They were driven by the need to escape the aftermath of the Great War and a desire to be the first to reach the ‘third pole’ by incredible bravery.”  ....

To mark a hundred years since the first expedition to Mount Everest, a landmark exhibition is being held in Shoreditch. 
The Alpine Club is commemorating some of the first expeditions to attempt the highest peak on planet earth in the 1920s, well before Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary became the first explorers to reach the mountain s summit, 29,035 feet above sea level, in 1953.
The exhibition uses the words of expedition members from 1921, 1922 and 1924 and includes diary entries, hand-written notes, art works and photographs produced on Everest. ....
