EVEREST'S FIRST CLIMBERS: You'll Never Guess The OTHERS - 1953 Thru '63

[@EverestMystery]

Here is a fascinating interview with Sir Edmund Hillary that you will enjoy: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmTddpmGo9epi6s

[@frankkinley6272]

@EverestMystery, Recently I saw that one fella who has both his legs amputated. (I believe they were both AK ( Above Knee amputations) With his prosthetics he successfully climbed Everest. Just Amazing, I can hardly believe such a feat would be possible, Especially during that section where I've seen people using that ladder? Not to go up, but rather going across! That's just insane. His balance must be Unbelievable.

[@kathleenhartnellharper7234]

I think the Chinese climbers found Irving,( Mallory’s climbing partner) and retrieved his camera but after over 40 years on the mountain they couldn’t develop the film.

I don’t think it’ll ever be found either, we can hope but I assume after finding Mallory in 99 they searched the area above and below him well, since they were roped together and obviously the rope broke, I believe he kept falling and went into the Khumbu glacier and will never be seen again possibly frozen in the ice forever or at least until it melts, and since it was over 100 years ago he could be 20-30 miles from where he landed, given the glacier moved roughly 3-4ft per day

Thank you for all the videos. Coming originaly from Bulgaria I' d like to know if that is true, please? : Hristo Ivanov Prodanov (Bulgarian: Христо Иванов Проданов; 24 February 1943 - 21 April 1984) was a Bulgarian mountaineer. Prodanov was the first Bulgarian to climb Mount Everest, doing it via the most difficult way-the West Ridge-as well as alone and without oxygen.

[@EverestMystery]

He was a great mountaineer whom few know of. He did summit without oxygen, alone, via the West Ridge. He unfortunately died upon the descent and his body has never been found. Another interesting fact is that he was the first person ever to summit in the month of April.

Highly unlikely Sherpas went up as it was considered sacred and there was no route and no incentive. It took massive human resources by the British to suss out the north ridge route in the 20s and southeast ridge in the 50s. And yes there’s every possibility Mallory and Irvine were successful in 1924.

Isn't it practically certain, that Mallory and Irvine were seen at ~ 8710 and not ~ 8500 meters? I mean it's almost certain, that they were last seen allive crossing the third step, as 1st and 2nd step were not visible from Odell's location. It would also almost match the initial planned timeline.

[@EverestMystery]

I was never one to believe they were seen at the third step (which was not called the Third Step in 1924). Nothing is even remotely certain that they were seen there. The thinking that they were seen on the ridge right at the final pyramid at what we now call the Third Step is flawed in the thinking of many Everest historians. That said, it's a fascinating mystery and really cool to debate... Thanks for your thoughts, great having you here. Do check out the Mallory & Irvine playlist on the channel.

[@kacperrutkowski6350]

@@EverestMystery thanks for reply, I've checked it. As for the debate on which step they were seen I think there is quite a lot evidence that they were seen at the third step, but I may be wrong here - I would say, that the arguments for here were mostly; - the selected route - before summit attack Mallory stated, that if the winds were strong they would take the so-called 'zig-zag route' (which is almost certain that they followed). That route did skip both first and second step. - From Odell's location first step was fully covered by other parts of the mountain, so he couldn't see them there. - Second step couldn't be climbed in a few minutes, even if they were following the modern ridge route instead of planned zig-zag (which is exetremely unlikely) - Odell in his report mentioned snow field. There were images taken during 2024 expenditions in which the location of the 'last step but one' in respect to snow field only match 3rd step. Also under assumption that they did summit (which imo seems plausible just because they died) the hour seen on Mallory's mechanical watch in that location would almost exactly match their expected pace.

[@EverestMystery]

​@@kacperrutkowski6350 excellent insight, and thank you. Yes, having spoken to many who've been there and having scoped the couloir up above (from below) myself, albeit at an oblique angle, the first person experiences in that area point to the fact that there would not be a reason to take the so-called route starting with a 'z'....from sea level it might seem feasible, though. Odell's final sighting: I always defer to Jake Norton, who is the only person who has ever been able to make sense about these facts...and, I have to add, has always done it in a spirit of openness to any and all scenarios. Cheers and thanks for being here!

[@kacperrutkowski6350]

@@EverestMystery Thanks for yours reply. As for the 'zig-zag' route I think we would have to think as the people from 1924, as modern gear makes a lot of difference - it offers two main advantages when compared to other routes. First one is that it's almost directly in sunlight for most of the time. Second one is that it's much more shielded from the wind than anything else. While it's not the easiest with the modern gear, 100 years ago the clothes weren't nearly as warm as they're today. And that route was the best one to avoid hypothermia (and potential frostbite). I also think Norton's report isn't nearly as important as direct testimony of a witness, but that's (probably) just my opinion here.

But, technology is getting better. We’ve sent a drone to another planet. We’ve screwed up this planet so now we’re going to find another one to exploit. Artists? A person can buy a machine and program it to make the most beautiful things. Then, others start doing, until, everything you ever thought up, in your imagination, can be brought to life! Writers? AI can generate hundreds of books, per day. Why do you think Hollywood writers are striking? AI doesn’t need the human interaction, nobody wanting higher pay and more power. Actors? AI can create an artificial actor. AI can create voices.

If you guys are diluted enough to believe these were the first climbers … you need help. And prob still think people “ discovered America” 😂 I’m sure natives had summit many times before … these were simply the first WESTERNERS or major countries…

[@EverestMystery]

No....this is the misconception. The western climbers were the first to think that man SHOULD be on the top of a mountain like Everest. The local people believed that these summits were the abode of gods, and reserved for the gods, and that anyone who climbed to the top would be met with death. They simply didn't care, and to me THAT is awesome.

Sorry I think the first climb mt everest was mallory & irvine, but they did not reach the summit.

[@airsoftpopcorn]

This video meant climbed as in to reach the summit, plenty of locals and others had been on the mountain, just not the top

Oh… so the Sherpas were invisible???🤔🤔🤔

He literally named the Sherpas that climbed it in the first 15 in the video

[@roykilgore8461]

So now it really means NOTHING to climb … kinda like a lady that’s been DONE every way..!!!!

[@ckamina768]

Uuummm excuse me, not one of these people would have made it without Sherpas! Sherpas are the only reason anyone has ever made it to the top and back down ALIVE! Give them their recognition!

@@EverestMystery Michael Tracy have documented this very well on his youtube channel. There is no photo evidence or summit rocks documented to the public. Pure propaganda stunt of the communists.

Keep dreaming . . clearly you dont read. Irvine wasnt even a CLIMBER ! So they did it at night up and down ? with bad weather, ....hahaha . . You think it is a walk in the park. . . And read !!

[@larryarevaloproudfoot2182]

@@MrCushcam He didnt even climb the 1rst step. No recolectíon of that. This young guy shouldnt have been there if not for last day invitation by Mallory when the original climbers had been worn out by the mountain and the 2 previous intents of that excursión failed. I blaim Mallory asking this kid to go with him. That same afternoon weather kick in and everybody went down, but this 2 guys. To blaim as well was the chief of the expedition who allowed NOT A CLIMBER to go with Mallory. Hope you read the thing. Best to you.

@@MrCushcam Odell in his final time said he was not that clear on what he saw, with mors precise questioning he received on the following years, blaming the point where he was and the angle to the mountain. Remember he was way lower than the other guys .
