I think Mallory deserves the laughter.
Makes me wonder if he was maybe gay.

Amazing article.

Just goes to show how things have changed in a century. mind sets etc

Fancy trekking across Tibet naked. Wouldn't it be a bit cold? I'm surprised that didn't raise more eyebrows in that era than wearing an unconventional green jacket.

Only Colonials are crazy.
It's perfectly sane to be trekking naked

Yes, your bit would be cold but it shrinks in the cold so it'd only be a little bit

The Gregory Peck character in Guns of Navarone was named after Mallory.

And the famous British General Orde Wingate used to conduct his staff meetings in the nude.

(which gives a whole new meaning to staff meeting).

But he was a certifiable loony.
