What they will trumpet is product, product, product ......! Yes, Kodak has been approached, and, yes, they have agreed to attempt to process the film if the camera is ever found (and this is increasingly unlikely). They instructed the climbers to keep the film frozen until it reached Rochester. Irvine also had a camera, type uncertain, but the best current information is that he fell all the way to either the Rongbuk Glacier or the Kangshung Glacier, 10,000 feet in either event, and so we're not going to find his remains.
