Excellent video, thank you. I've trekked from Lukla up to Base Camp and Kala Patthar to see Everest. The sheer grandeur and scale of the Himalayas is unbelievable and never done justice on screen. Everest was 5 miles away from KP and over 2 miles higher and looked immense. Whoever goes up the Khumbu Icefall and on to the South Col and higher - chapeau! The number of cairns and memorials (at Chukpi Lhara, between Lobuche and Dughla) brings home how many lose their lives up there.

Mallory now injured seems likely to have attempted to descend and find Irvine, then fell a second time, this time fatality. We never know exactly but it seems from injury and body position they died while climbing up, not descending.

If it were the Romans doing the climbing they would have their slaves packing all the gear. The Sherpas have a choice at least. No matter what, getting to the summit is a feat unto itself.

This is one of the best Everest docs I’ve ever seen and I feel like I watched most of them.

This is the exactly what I have been looking for the past two weeks. I have been reading Jon Krakauer's Into the Thin Air and having difficulty grasping the geography around Mt. Everest.

Mallory and Irvin's achievement far exceeds today's successful climbers of Everest. It's practically an assembly line going up. It's still very dangerous but it's more a dice roll now compared to the early days where along with the dice you had to bring the table to roll the dice, the building to house the table and ten thousand dice rolls with each one carrying a chance at death.

All these climbers would not be able to climb and summit Everest with out the Sherpa's, who provide all the necessities needed for survival. Porters who carry all the supplies including oxygen cylinders, food cooking utentials etc. The Sherpa's prepare the mountain ahead of the climbers and map out the best route. The "Ice Doctors" who find the best route across the shifting Ice of the Kummba ice fall. The Sherpa's who line the route with ropes all the way to the Summit, without which hardly anyone could climb the mountain. Each climber has a Sherpa guide to help the person reach the Summit. The Sherpa's help those having difficulties with altitude sickness or who run out of oxygen risking their own lives to help to the best of their abilities. They too are in the death zone. I believe that 1/3 of those who die on the mountain are Sherpa's and is a great loss to their anxious waiting families. The pioneers like Malory, Irvine, Hillary and Tensing had Sherpa's to help but they did not have the warm clothing that we have today. They did not have ropes to help them climb nor did they have the best route mapped out for them, they had to find it as they progressed up the Mountain. The true heroes and experts of Mount Everest are the Sherpa's.

Not to lay a wet blanket on anyone or anything, but there was an oversight just after 3 minutes' running time, when the narrator speaks about Howard Somervell joining the 1924 Everest expedition. The way it sounded, one might be led to believe that that was the initial reconnaisance but it wasn't. The Reconnaisance took place in 1921, which didn't include Somervell. He joined in 1922, and again in 1924 when the second summit attempt (made by Mallory & Irvine; Somervell & Norton made the first) met with a fatal outcome. Hats off and deepest respect to these men made of iron, but with hearts and souls of pure gold.

Mallory actually took a photo if his wife with him that he promised her to place on the summit if he makes it. As his body was found years later he hadn’t had the photograph on him anymore.

The missing photo isn't the "key peice" as people make out. We know from Mallory found body he fell twice, once when Irvine (the correct spelling, not the one you used) fell (to his death) roped to Mallory as he had sever bruising around his waist showing Mallory was dragged down till the rope snapped. The bruising indicates he still alive after this but likely very bad injuries ,then when he tried to descend to find Irvine, fell a second time, this time fatality. The photo could have been lost during either of the 2 falls or removed from it storage place after the first fall and then lost or buried as Mallory likely knew he would be unlikely to live, and even if he lived would never again make an attempt again (he was 37 when he died and had complained about ageing and various physical complaint from climbing). The idea the photo would only be missing after being placed on the summit isn't the only explanation for its absence. There endless speculation from people who haven't researched in depth the facts as currently known and lots of wishful thinking, but most educated opinion is that Irvine (remember a climbing partnership strength is judged against the weakest partner ability and Irvine had little mountaineering skill or experience) lack the ability to climb to the summit and he fell and dragged Mallory down after him till the rope snapped.

At this point they just need to fully commercialize it. If that many people are reaching the summit, it's not special anymore, and they may as well just make it fully accessible & safe. Add stairs, ladders, permanent structured rest stops, signs that say "15 min. time limit at the summit", weather shelters and a medical base. Have a dude at the top who will take your picture for 50 bucks, a burger joint call "Ever-Burger", half way up. and sell t shirts post cards, and funny mountain shaped hats at the bottom.

I so enjoy everything David does. Everest could be more of a total mad mess in the future, considering there is no longer the Hillary Step complicated ascent before summiting. It's allegedly now more of a steep, bouldery, winter 'meadow' climb? Frankly, it's the Khumbu Icefall that flat out terrifies me and yet still completely enthralls. I want to paint it so very, very badly, but I am autoimmune and a slightly older lady now. (No regrets, lol) Unfortunately, most likely no Nepal in my future. While I am fit, and have almost a superhuman hemoglobin level, my body plays vertigo tricks, etc, out of nowhere sometimes. Anybody have Khumbu vistas or scale relatable pics to share with an avid amateur? They would be most appreciated. My paintbrush now takes me places my feet will probably never get to walk.

I think "now" really needs to include winter attempts on Everest. There are no crowds or "conga lines" in winter (yet), and it seems a little more like the early days of climbing during spring.

I get that between the south summit and the real summit is a small pathway to traverse, but these folks queued-up going up to Camp 4 is so strange to me. Not an ice axe to be seen when these guys could strike their own path away from the rope. I know it’s less safe, but there must be some recognition that many before them haven’t had fixed-ropes and made it. I dunno - I couldn’t face the people I love knowing I’d been in a place called the “death zone” and wasted a bunch of time standing around.

You would die if you just took a cable car to the top from base camp. So as witty as it may be, it won't happen.. thankfully.

At 17:30, W. Unsoeld in his plaid Pendleton shirt. Also seen a few shots earlier, chopping a flattish tent platform, plaid shirt on ground. T. Hornbein & Unsoeld climbed the West Ridge, via the Hornbein Couloir, reaching the summit about 1730 hrs, late. Then down via the standard route, after making an unwanted bivouac at 28,000’.

Nepal has lots of things to offer. Top of the world, birth place of Buddha, many many historical and heritage sites, beautiful weather, many cultures, beautiful people, cheap and many more

The biggest difference is that back then, people actually climbed the mountain where as today, the sherpas climb it for them.

Michael Tracy has a video that shows photographs taken of Everest the afternoon that Mallory and Irvine we near the summit…no storm, the weather was beautiful.
