Mallory Reimagined: Crockett & Jones recreates a mountaineering icon

A century-old boot, used in the first Mount Everest expedition, has been revived by Crockett & Jones and worn by the Turner Twins.

In 1924, British mountaineers George Mallory and Andrew ‘Sandy’ Irvine set out to conquer Mount Everest and become the first climbers to reach the top of the world’s highest peak.

Their fateful disappearance remains one of history’s greatest mysteries, but a century later, their legacy and explorative spirit live on.

This autumn, identical twins and adventurers Hugo and Ross Turner (known as the Turner Twins) are heading to the Himalayas – and taking Mallory and Irvine’s 1924 Everest kit for a pioneering scientific expedition.

Legacy and explorative spirit live on.
