You can tell these dudes were smart and had a lot of respect for their sherpas; unlike most pioneers they made rational decisions and preserved a lot of life that could’ve been lost by overextension. And really the only thing that could’ve prevented the loss of those 7 lives was not making the 3rd ascent at all.

Decades ago I was in a hospital ICU and on oxygen when the woman in the other bed in my room talked her friend into giving her a cigarette and the only thing that kept her from sparking up was me paging the nurse. She wasn’t happy but I had no desire to be blown up. Smoking addiction can make you stupid. Plus back when this expedition took place they probably still believed cigarettes were good for you.

I'm glad you covered the 1921 reconnaissance expedition as background. The 1924 expedition generally overshadows those that led up to it, which is a shame. There was a lot of accomplishment, and a fair deal of tragedy on the mountain, even before Mallory and Irvine stepped into eternity.

In reference to the first, non O2 attempt. It’s incredible what you can do when you allow your brain to lead you instead of your ego. They knew they were in trouble, they knew they should turn around, and they did. Despite the deaths, they did all of this as intelligently as possible, and without stupid egos causing unnecessary death. Good for these brave explorers.

My father visited Nepal back in the 70s to go up and see Everest, though he never set foot on the mountain itself. Mostly he just hiked the back country with a friend and a sherpa to avoid the beaten tourist paths. I learned the Nepalese name Sagarmatha from him, and to this day yours is the only video or documentary on the mountain to mention it I've ever seen.

This is an EXCELLENT background/lead-up documentary that brings to light how insanely challenging these wild peaks were over 100 years ago. Ive done a fair bit of bushwhacking, but this feat is on an entirely new plane of existence and these men were made of steel, to put it plainly. Bottomless respect to these guys; improving the human condition and our self-perception, through demonstration of ability for all to witness. Cheers P.S: If you ever want to do an episode on the challenges of mapping the northern slope of Alaska by the USGS, I won't complain as my grandad was one of those geologists/cartographers.

My doctor actually died on Mt. Everest. His name was Dr. Roland Yearwood. He was 50 and from Georgiana AL. He died during his ascent. It was his 2nd try after barely surviving the first time. There was an earthquake that triggered an avalanche in 2015 that killed 19 people on the mountain and almost 9,000 in Nepal.

Sorry to hear about the death of your doctor. I'm a retired firefighter from Tuscaloosa. I travelled to the old Everest base camp in 2016. The new base camp had been moved to the far side of the glacier after the avalanche and loss of lives in 2015. You pick your poison, though, as the glacier itself is a death trap. Any step onto that glacier invites a fall into unseen crevasses.

It's ok to see a mountain and just look at it, you know? Just admire the view and then not sure trying to climb it. Just saying. Perfectly ok.

I recently read ‘The World Beneath Their Feet’ by Scott Ellsworth which covers the efforts to climb the various 8,000 meter peaks in the Himalayas during the 30s through the 50s, culminating with the successful summiting of Everest in 1953 and the failed but nonetheless valiant attempt by an American team to climb K2 in the same year. Every successful climb happened on the shoulders of many prior failed attempts and many, many lessons learned. It was a fascinating read but I still cannot see the appeal of climbing a mountain so high that your body is deteriorating every minute you stand on the top.

Its just a cool feeling to be so high up i guess, like a huge satisfying achievment that you just climbed this massive thing against the odds

Mt. Everest is actually not the tallest mountain. It’s the highest elevation, but Mauna Kea in Hawaii is actually taller from base to peak.

Hmm your voice sounds different in this video than your older videos 🤔 Different microphone? I actually prefer the old microphone or whatever you used to do to your audio in editing versus now…
