Now look what they started. Now that majestic mountain is a dump graveyard. I strongly believe that Mallory and Irvine reached the summit first!!!

In 2024

Kudos to both men for formally stating "we" reached the summit. The fact that all people seemed to care about was who stood on top first, completely undermines the achievement. Human nature at its worst.

Brilliant film

Great documentary but the team leader ben is a winny little b@@@h,he sabotages his girlfriends attempt because he is to weak to climb it himself and doesn't want to look bad, wat a loser.

Wow! What a fantastic watch especially about Tenzing. UA-cam generally is 99% Garbage especially from across the pond. Great work brought me to tears...men like them will never exist again ever

57:22. Are the young 'uns being taught to give "the bird"?

Huge respect to the porters

To say boot light weight you have to factor in weight of crampons, was it lighter than older style climbing boots?

1924 had good mask technology, superior in some ways to modern masks, only downside was that the 1924 mask took more practice and patience to get used to it. Oxygen bottles only got lighter recently once composite materials came into use

The rope "bridge" looked cool, skilled crossing

Mallory and Irvine might have summited in 1924. 1). Weather was relatively warm (for Everest), 2). Their clothing and boots were of comparable (or lighter) than modern clothing and boots. 3). They had oxygen (and Irvine was familiar and capable of fixing it) 4). Mallory was an experienced climber. 5). Mallory was in the two previous expeditions. 6). Matterhorn had been climbed in 1865 so 2nd step wasn't impossible due to gear limitations. 7). The second step has been climbed by two different climbers on two different routes on the same day without the ladder, a man of Mallory's experience would have been able to climb the second step (if the rock and snow conditions were favourable) as it wasn't the difficulty of climbing it, it was the time it would take and the problems associated with high altitude

Is this host really climbing the hillary step?!?

There's evidence now that George Mallory and Irvine made it to the top in 1924. They believed he had fell off the Hillary Step on the way up because hillary found an ice axe on the step that was Irvines but it was such a steep drop it would have crushed his body. When they found Mallorys body in 1999 he had a broken leg and a broken arm shorter fall which points to him descending. So the theory is on the way down Irving fell off the Hillary Step which is why the ice ax was still there in 1953 and then George Mallory further down the mountain no supplemental oxygen disoriented sad about his friends fall had a shorter fall broke his leg and arm and couldn't walk off and that's where they found him in 99. It's all pretty interesting reading but until we find Mallorys camera on Irvines body we wont know for sure. The body and the camera are out there somewhere on that big cold mountain 🏔 hopefully somebody finds it it's a piece of History and they're pretty sure that film can still be developed.

2024 gang! Let's go

I’ve climbed already higher around 35.000 feet was cheaper and safer.

One of the last true adventures and conquering of nature. It truly was an endeavor and all the support made it possible. Hunt’s leadership made it happen. A great moment in history!!

Hillary and Tenzing. Armstrong and Aldrin. It doesn’t matter who was slightly in front of the other one, they were both immense team efforts.

At the initial stage of my investigation about Himalayan Mountains I read that Ed Hillary had been the first. Only his name, alone. No mentions about Tenzig. Why is that? The British damn ego? Then when you go deeper into the story you see not only Tenzig but the entire team's effort.

this documentary takes us back in time. Black & white video clips, surreal music, legendary adventure seeking mountaineers & then there's mount everest 😊

Can't believe how much of this I remembered from watching it maybe 5, 10 years ago. Such a good documentary and so many memorable moments throughout. Whole bits flashed backed to me the whole time.

39:26 The way Hillary says "wriggled up it" in that interview is so endearing.

A great achievement sullied by petty political intrigue. What pathetic creatures we humans really are...

Fantastic documentary! Loved the historical photos and footage. The picture of Tenzing standing atop the mountain is one of my all time favorite photos

I hope people use their brain a bit and see how these british influencing your minds. They go to a foreign land and climb the mountain and call the mountain "everest" and "hillery step" is this a joke?

What an absolute joke. You can prove that disability doesn’t stop you from living an active lifestyle without literally trying to stagger up Everest and putting multiple lives in danger. Just look at how many people he had to endanger to get him down and yet he wanted to go back up ! He’d go on his bloody own then if it was down to me !

I told my girlfriend that one of my dreams has been to climb Everest. I just simply don't and cannot afford it. Standing on the summit after such difficult and having death as a constant companion up and back down, takes nads made of titanium, an unstoppable drive and knowing ones limitations. I tip my hat to be all who've made it or even attempted it. This documentary is superb! Thanks for making it.

Истинная история!!!ценнейший документальный фильм!!!без сомнения,мы видим Хиллари,команду!!Героизм высшего класса!!!ведь снаряжение туристское для горных походов в долины,восхождения на вершины до 2000-3000м.В наше время такое снаряжение подходит только для треков.И это беспримерный подвиг в истории альпинизма!!Светлая память Меллори,Ирвину,всем,кто любил горы,стремился к вершинам!Горы любят тех,кто любит горы...природа сильнее человека,лавины несут только смерть,непредсказуемы...Самый опытный,мужественный,сильный альпинист на ледовой,скальной стене,в кулуаре,ледопаде пройдет успешно,если не будет допускать ошибок в страховке и вовремя пойдет назад,откажется от восхождения при плохой(очень!!!)погоде,штормовом ветре,мощном снегопаде...Всем восходителям здоровья,бодрости,новых вершин,всего доброго,наилучшего!!!удачных,счастливых восхождений!!!

Just a good old boy of the British Empire

To have Stephen Venables as a part of this documentary makes it more epic. That man survived a bivouac on Everest, just below the summit at around 8600 meters without supplemental oxygen.

I'm a bit slow, just finding this documentary just now in 2023! What an EXCELLENT movie with now archival footage along with interviews with some of those involved! I LOVED IT!! EVERYONE SHOULD WATCH THIS!

Even while on top of Mount Everest, it is impossible to see the curvature of the Earth.

Summiting is optional but getting back to Base Camp is mandatory.

In my class, English teacher was telling about the film 'The Race for Everest' to watch the documentary, but my classmates agreed what mam said, and then I told mam about the movie that I searched what mam has written I copied

Es obvio que el primero fue Hillary teniendo algo mas de jerarquia en la expedicion avanzo primero marco la ruta eso no demeritaba en nada al sherpa y ese duo paso a la historia y ellos percibieron las recompensas grande y noble hillary y mal la prensa que los enfrento a toda costa tal y como hacen hoy 70 años despues ademas por que no se llama : escalon tanzing ???

Thats how they should keep it 3 persons at a time instead of the way they do it now 100 or more at a time there would be less fatalities than there is

How beautiful and romantic to show the husband, his older wife, then her beautiful picture when she was there the year before.

Great

I'm sorry but the British sound like pompous colonizers

This is no place for tourists

Hard luck, but well done gutsy John Hanson. Better to be with his family, than being stuck up there, still. If only a couple of those in poor Rob Hall's team in 1996 had made the same choice; at their planned 'Turn around Time' of 14.00hrs.

मलाई नि हिमाल चड्नु मन छ हो कहिले होला😢😢😢

I've always thought it was just Hillary and Norgay. Nope, it was a whole team out there. That makes more sense! Love from New Zealand 🇳🇿

They were great friends, got to the top together and that was the end of it. Outsiders tried to turn something wonderful into a selfish competition.

Petition to call it Mount Tenzing anyone?

Rich Losers, nice try!

Sad that the British always had a military, conquer-at-all costs mindset. It's what cost them first at the South Pole. Nature is not to be conquered but loved in quiet reverence.

Seeing Hillary and Norgay do this under the same conditions, equipment and circumstances as Mallory and Irvine would be interesting. Not sure Hillary would have summited, what Mallory and Irvine did in 1924 was truly remarkable.

Thank you, great documentary still in Nov 2022
