George Mallory, aside from being an incredible mountaineer, was also really pretty (one of his tutors wrote that his eyes were “extraordinarily suggestive of a Botticelli Madonna”), posed for nude photos (or maybe just the one), moved in artsy circles, WAS A FRIEND OF EM FORSTER’S, AND might even have been Forster’s inspiration for George Emerson He sounds adorable too, being so absent-minded that he forgot his torch, lamp and compass when he made his last attempt at the summit of Everest, though perhaps not so cute to his climbing partners
