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.
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.
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.
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....

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.
@@andrewairvine It's available on dvd and blu-ray, also from time to time on bbc iplayer. The soundtrack is available on spotify or google music. I haven't seen it on UA-cam though.
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.
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.
@@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.
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.
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.
11:14... is this footage of the final summit pyramid filmed by Noel Odel's telescope on the day Irvine and Mallory were spotted 600ft below the summit? It looks like there are climbers in frame 🤔
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.
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.
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.
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
I have a postcard with an Everest stamp posted by runner to India ….sent by Captain Noel to my grandfather and passed down to me covering this ascent . Has anyone seen or heard of this stamp and card ? Sent from the base camp . Value ?
I've seem a few in exhibitions over time, at a London show this year one display had several. I've seen them on eBay for £45 or so. Depends on condition etc
Camera last seen "second track" ( track very difficult ). My analyst they successful reach summit and fall in return. They very first reach summit 1924
@@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.
Probably the reason they didnt climb on top is that they were trying to "Conquer" the mountain.They didnt belong there if it was only for their Ego and money
Here they made it clear that mallory and irvine didn't made it... The everest remain unconquered... But still some mad people shouting that, mallory and irvine probably made it up there... Stupid thinking
is that all you do? go on various videos and say they didn't make it? while you yourself haven't climbed anything more than those small peaks in africa or middle east
@@1245aryan make an proof that they made it... It's not official...you yourself know it very well, so stop predictions... Of course they didn't made it... Or if u have proof, show it than come to bargain...
@@iffatsharminislam7978 wow you’re an idiot, it being open to speculation on or not does not mean they definitely did not make it, it is just unknown whether they did or not. You seem to have some kinda personal agenda here so I’m not gonna engage further.

No world class equipment, no fixed rope. Just balls
Well said.

Don't forget to look for Andrew "Sandy" Irvine.
What documentary was that? Id like to watch it.
And to think the part where they show them off for the top thr next time we see gm is 75 years later in thevdame ckothes

Very moving. The snow! Mezmerizing! No wonder high mountaineering was so addictive.
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

Great EVEREST was more colder in 1924 than 2020.
Mallory became guardian of everest
❤❤❤😂 such enigmatic men, captivating the mesmerising dven now such fearless drive xx😊

@@marguskiis7711they never made it to the Summit!
@@WellyCoaster except its rope, not spare goggles. And no evidence supports spare goggles.
@@WellyCoaster This is nonsense. The summit peak is not visible from any of the camps, only the false summit, which they traverse behind....

Nepal was closed at this time ... I believe they do it from Tibet....

read the description of this video i think that was the same Noel???

did they cut out the dancing lamas.. that banned britain for 10 years and had a hand in tibet being taken by china in 1950...??
Men of Steel I believe they made it
I think its observers fault that day...they signaled late so mallory and irvine have not enough time to think.........
Strange idea to film the mountain endlessly and not the people.
When films were actually filmed with a potato. 😆
I wonder if it was even harder in the 20's because there was more ice before global warming?
Oh definitely was alot harder.
They didnt have all the equipment that we have now days..
And they were wearing tweed jackets
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
@@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.
