THE EPIC OF EVEREST 1924 GEORGE MALLORY & ANDREW IRVINE DOCUMENTARY TIBET 90264

[@SharonCorbett]

This is literally looking back in time - right up to the moment Mallory and Irvine were last seen... It's just beyond incredible to think we're watching 100yrs later as they go up and are lost...the shots of the North Face (where Mallory would fall and then lie undiscovered for 75yrs) is a real goosebump moment - it was all playing out as if we were peering back into time itself! And to think that when this film of Everest was shot, no-one had ever summitted before (Westerners, at least) - the mountain was untouched...no bodies, no '96 disaster, no Rob Hall, no Scott Fisher, no "greenboots" & "sleeping beauty" and countless Sherpas... The end shot, as night closes in, is also the last shot of Everest in pristine glory. Amazing beyond belief.

Its so unbelievable to see what they saw back in the time, seeing their documentary is just so fascinating and gives me the chills. Its shocking that they hade the technology to take us back to their time, rest in peace 4 all the ppl thats still up there.

what aboy sherpas?

[@abnerb2575]

No world class equipment, no fixed rope. Just balls

[@PeriscopeFilm]

Well said.

[@ohorok2]

There is no such thing as "conquering of a mountain". A mountain just allowes you to come for a visit. This is part of CzechoSlovak climbing philosophy so strong in 70's and 80's.

[@alxlesz]

It's eerie watching this having the seen the documentary from 1990s which which sought to retrace Mallory's steps and eventually found his final resting place.

[@andrewairvine]

Don't forget to look for Andrew "Sandy" Irvine.

[@yunalesca368]

What documentary was that? Id like to watch it.

They were actually around 300 ft from the summit if I was a betting man I would bet any amount of money they made it to the top and died trying to rush back down in the dark. Mallory most likely fell first and Irvine died trying to find Mallory. Irvine body was probably removed off the mountain.

[@yunalesca368]

I read somewhere that they were tied together by rope. When one of them fell the other got pulled along right next to them. Because Mallory's body had "rope-jerk" injuries? The rope got snapped by the force of the fall.

[@dangryder6050]

What do you mean Irvine body removed off the mountain? Somebody took it? It fell naturally very far?

[@dangryder6050]

@@yunalesca368 I would expect you could tell the difference between a rope that had snapped and a rope that was cut, yet I haven't seen any reports from the 1999 discovery discussing this.

[@felipemello753]

It doesn't matter if Mallory and Irvine reached, the top of Everest, because both left their names in history by risking their own lives by climbing, with primitive equipment, this colossal titan.

[@kellyhill430]

Whats mind blowing is when they show malloru and itvine walking for their final push the next time we see mallory is 75 years later wearing tje same clothes on camera again....

This was restored by BFI few years ago with a new soundtrack composed by Simon Fisher Turner. Amazing movie

Can you please send me the link to the BFI restored documentary?

Jeffrey Archer in his book 'Paths of Glory' tells about this story...deeply captivating and a must-read for anyone who has watched this film

[@martinwebb969]

Jeffrey Archer's book is a work of fiction, with many ridiculous inventions and fantasies. Far better to read the books by Davis, Hoyland, Anker, Breashears, Hemmleb, Firstbrook, Holzel/Salkeld etc, which examine and analyse the truth.

[@martnal]

It is Reading Jeffrey Archer's book today that has brought me here. It is a terrific book. He makes no secret that he has added a lot of of untrue events but it makes it all the more readable. It is a book and I won't read it again but it is a book I will never forget.

Great EVEREST was more colder in 1924 than 2020.

[@DANISH4114]

Little did they know they are going to stay there forever. Everyone wants to believe they made it even experts say that . Person who last saw them alive saw them via telescope and could have only spotted them in day time. But Mallory's body was found with his goggles in his jacket that suggest he didn't needed them and that's only possible if it was night time. This also suggest that after being spotted 300ft from summit they continued until it was dark. Being the climber he was its difficult to believe that he would have turned back we talking about Mallory here. Main question is being alive in dark and 300ft from summit were they climbing up or descending? Remember these are the guys who managed to reach this point using very primitive gear and equipment's. I believe they made it based on these facts and his wifes photo was not with him nor with his gear back at camp.

[@WellyCoaster]

That theory is used alot but he had extra pairs of goggles, in the last photo of him with Irvine you can see his spare. Or Mallory could have removed them for better vision of his feet as Norton had done due to the rims. It's also possible that Mallory could have removed them during the afternoon storm. Odell described visibility dropped to only a few yards with driving sleet. In 1933 they encountered similar storm conditions when descending near camp 6, their goggles got caked up with ice to the point they were removed as they could no longer see. When Odell last saw them at 12.50 he estimated they could reach the summit about 4pm. He also said at about 3pm (within 2 hours) the weather cleared to full sunshine yet he and Captain John Noel never saw them again despite having cameras and telescopes fixed on the summit peak. If they summited you would think they would be spotted again on the summit ridge either going up or coming down sometime between 3pm and dusk.

[@marguskiis7711]

It is hard to imagine they did not leave anything on the summit to mark they had done it (flag, some metal plate etc). But Hillary did not find anything on the summit.

[@Unio-Mystica]

​@@marguskiis7711they never made it to the Summit!

[@falcodarkzz]

@@WellyCoaster except its rope, not spare goggles. And no evidence supports spare goggles.

I have faith they made it the picture of Ruth was missing and they were so exhausted by the time they made their descent they were so exhausted they and delirious they made the fatal mistake and slipped

[@marguskiis7711]

Strange idea to film the mountain endlessly and not the people.

[@trigonastore842]

Camera last seen "second track" ( track very difficult ). My analyst they successful reach summit and fall in return. They very first reach summit 1924

And they didn't have a known route to the summit, they were going into the death zone trying to find a way up through cliffs

[@richardhelliwell1210]

@@WellyCoaster they also only had bottled oxygen that gave 2 hours each bottle and only 2 or 3 bottles each. Today each climber has 4 bottles with 4 hours oxygen in each for summit day. They would have run out of oxygen before they got to the top.
