KATHMANDU (Reuters) - A decades-old mystery over whether Britain's George Mallory scaled Mount Everest three decades before Sir Edmund Hillary may remain unsolved, an American climber investigating it said Wednesday.

Hillary and Norgay climbed Everest first. When climbers climbed a peak like Everest they would leave something at the summit, like a flag or something to prove they were there. Nothing was found on the summit from any previous expedition by Hillary and Norgay. I suppose wind and weather might have taken away anything that was left, but as the man said, " you have to get back safe and sound" or the climb wasn't finished.

There are a 175 bodies of dead climbers on Everest.
