Thank you my friend for visiting my home and for having me on your channel with your amazing subscribers and viewers. I'm humbled and honored that you have taken the time to tell a story that is central to my experience.
I live right beside the AT in Virginia next to dismal falls, I've watched about every video about Everest, and very familiar with Thoms story, if he is wanting you to go with him there, then you have an opportunity for immortality being apart of Everest history, take it a run.
I love Everest Mystery as a chanel. I love listening to this Legends stories and his take on climbing and life. Such an incredible piece. Thank you Guys for sharing this.
What a fantastic interview - I stumbled across Thom Pollard's channel while looking for info after the discovery of Irvine's boot, and was just so impressed with his integrity, not just for being a part of the discovery of Mallory, but for being the beating heart of that party, showing his sense of great empathy toward a man who had been lost for so long, a man that was as real and filled with the same allure for Everest as all who came after him. So it was truly fascinating to see Thom interviewed like this - this guy is 100% the real deal, a true soul who is quite literally the wise & heartfelt man of the mountain...then, to have the interview close with the discovery of Irvine's boot and Thom saying "never say never", it's all come full circle in the most serendipitous way...has Thom really hung his boots up afterall, lol? He's the embodiment of living history - thankyou for such a great interview!
I love Thom's UA-cam channel and have been watching with great interest since Jimmy Chin's team found Sandy's foot. I highly recommend the book about Sandy's life written by his grand niece.
Very well done interview Darwin. The topic is right up my alley, being an outdoor enthusiast. Thanks for bringing us into his home and hearing an authentic tale. I’m been following Everest news and adventures since 1996 and I never say never.
Wow, I’m blown away…. I’ve ignored the interviews with Thom thus far because I just wasn’t interested in who was doing the interview. Now, I know exactly why I’ve waited so long. Thank you Darwin, I never expected this from you, but I definitely want more.
Thank You! I love telling stories like this in more of a Documentary Film format. They take quite a bit of time, but super rewarding creatively. Now... if only UA-cam will actually allow people to see it 🤷♂️
Great job Darwin, this is awesome content, well done! I’ve always been enamored with this Everest mystery and the recent discovery of Sandy Irvine is incredible. Crazy that both Conrad Anker and Jimmy Chin, both close friends and climbing partners, respectively discovered the two climbers remains.
I was so excited to see that you were covering this. Amazing interview. His description of the moments of the discovery was priceless. I'd love to see more on the history of mountaineers
Thanks for this Darwin, excellent stuff. To think I met you in Switzerland in July doing the TMB and now you’re interviewing Thom who “met” the one and only George Mallory! It’s my link to mountaineering mythology, Thanks again Darwin. Good luck in getting future interviews like this . Who knows we may bump into each other at Everest Base Camp!
I have never heard about this story . all i can say is this is so cool and meeting the person who helped uncover this amazing story. thank you for sharing Darwin
Great video!! I was gifted the book "The Lost Explorer: Finding Mallory" while working in Colorado. It was signed by Conrad Anker. I have read many books on climbing, but that one i really have a connection with every time i read it. I was raised and live in new england, and have hiked many mnts in the area. It's good to see someone from the area who has a connection with the search. I really hope there's more parts coming.
Absolutely spellbinding. Thank you for filming, editing and sharing this amazing story. And to Thom for sharing what are obviously such important moments in his life with us.
Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it. This is the style of video I love doing over anything else. Too bad the algorithm doesn’t want to show it to the majority of folks that are subscribed. Not “click baity” enough & not about Gear 😅
@DarwinOnthetrail Not a fan of the algorithm. Organic growth could knock this one out of the park! Will be watching it again. Thank you always for your videos on the Pinhoti Trail. You had a significant impact on the number of hikers seen along this trail I love so much! #PinhotiForever
Unfortunately that's not how it works anymore. Organic growth has sadly become a thing of the past. If it's not flashy enough for the algorithm to show it, then it doesn't happen. Sad, but true
Great interview! I can't wait to see this play out, I hope you find the camera! I did the EBC trek in 2018 and can say without a doubt, it was one of the most transformative experiences of my life. I encourage everyone to go. There is more natural beauty there than anywhere else I've ever been. Thanks for the content!

Great video ❤ great man 👍🏼 I feel that it was good that he didn't go and forces himself ... god knows what could happen if ignoring signs to stop and turn around. You did everything right 🍻
Nope… they recently found Irvine’s foot. This video is about finding Mallory’s body in 1999. It helps if you watch the video before leaving a comment that makes you look silly 😉
Fascinating well made video Darwin, i enjoyed every minute. What a true gentleman Thom Pollard is. Loved the "ending" of the video, or is it the "beginning" ? 🦅⚪✴️
Wow - just Wow. History is so exciting! Have always been in awe of M & I. God rest their souls. Safe travels & hoping for safe climbing/travels to you all. Thx for this video‼️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Don’t forget to read “The Climb” after “Into Thin Air”. It’s another account of the tragic climb, but told by Anotoli Boukreeve. He was a Mountain Guide who helped rescue people that day. Very good and quite different than Krakauers account.
Since i have been hiking and minor stints into backpacking with my own adventure postponed to next summer, I am attempting my own thru hike of the JMT (an area i have loved since my first trip to Yosemite)I have followed many trips through UA-cam, Discovery and other documentaries about Everest. Though I have no intentions of going to the Top of The World, I, however, do have a desire to go EBC and stand in awe of the many who have paved the way to ultimate climb in any adventures dream.
The expression about the "the hill you're willing to die on" is often used in a negative way. ...as in this is, not that hill. If ever there was one, Everest would be it. Great topic and documentary, Darwin. Can't wait to see what's next, cheers! 🍻
I love this so much! I don't think that anyone has inspired tge adventurer in me quite as much as Mallory and Irvine. I bought the book, "Ghosts Of Everest" sight unseen and I was transfixed with Everest forever.
I remember the discovery of Mallory and went to an exhibition of the artefacts and some other Mallory/Irvine memorabilia, along with a showing of an IMax film about Everest. It was really big news at the time.
All of the sudden I'm like 70 years old and am trying to get back into a modicum of climbing, see how it goes I'm trying. I never did any of the "Death Zone" stuff Mt Whitney was good enough for me, but I admire and am inspired by Climbers. As long as they are sensible climbers. Maybe some Top Rope Solo, clip in swing around like a Monkey- good times.
Reminds me of a guy who was trying to break the record for the longest dirt bike jump, I get the appeal to do big things but when you have little kids you can’t be trying to do things that have a high likelihood of death. My two cents anyway, and great video Darwin.
I think more information could have been found on mallory's body by someone with more medical expertise. Was the approximate area also searched with the metal detector?
I want a quilt not full of down but synthetic fibers as I hate the thought of sleeping in dead animal products , I need it to go at least -5 celsius. I found out today some bags use what they call live bird feathers. This means the poor animal was plucked while it was alive then continued to live till it was fat enough to killed be eaten. I don’t want this on my conscious, and apparently many bags and quilts use these fathers. No cool no good. So man use your knowledge and support animal free products and recommend what I can buy. I am sure all reading this now will want an alternative regardless of price.
Nope… they recently found Irvine’s foot. This video is about finding Mallory’s body in 1999. It helps if you watch the video before leaving a comment 😉
So I guess every hiking channel is just becoming a "mystery" channel now? I'm begging you Darwin, please don't go down the same rabbit hole kyle and dan becker have gone down
I’m not going down any “rabbit hole”. I’m making content about things I find interesting & that inspire me creativity. The same thing I’ve done for the past 9 years on UA-cam.

Dang! Wasn’t expecting this collab 🤙
The honour is all ours for being able to listen to you both!

I got goosebumps. I was listening to an audiobook about the search for Sandy Irvine 😳
Just an incredible story. Great to see you in my hiking backyard. One of your best all time videos.

Great video Darwin, love all of this Everest history.
I really enjoyed this interview and glad that Darwin was able to break away from his usual videos.
Brilliant ! I do so hope you get to go back and work with Thom, if that is what you want. This content gave me goosebumps.
Wow..Just Wow Darwin!! Well done🎉.. I think you have a natural ability to this type of interview /production.

I lived in Laconia for years. Loved it
*Lacedaemon
Wow I saw Lost on Everest and that’s how I got interested in Mt Everest and I watched everything I could find. everything. 🇨🇦😆
Such a cool story! Sounds like another Nepal trip needs to happen!
It definitely is! Thom is such a fascinating & awesome person.
Excellent! Loved it.
Thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it. 👍
I went hiking out front today, The first day snow flew. Fall is turning to winter it feels great.
I pushed the like button, but absolutely loved the interview. Both of you inspired me. Thanks!
I pushed the down button, 👎🏻clickbait, NO BODY was ever found, A single FOOT 🦶🏻 was found!
Nope… they recently found Irvine’s foot. This video is about finding Mallory’s body in 1999. It helps if you watch the video before leaving a comment that makes you look silly 😉
Great video.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank You! I've always been fascinated by this amazing mystery!
One of the best doctor documentaries I’ve ever seen well done my friend
This was cool…Im an Everest junkie😏🥾🥾⛺️
Nice job Thom!
Excellent work. I could have listened to this with interest for hours. 🦑
Great job
This stuff is good…. I just love this video and an overview on his life and direction. Excellent
Darwin thank you, one of your best!
Intriguing interview. You've upped your game and we see a new Darwin emerging.
I’m hooked.
Fascinating well made video Darwin, i enjoyed every minute. What a true gentleman Thom Pollard is. Loved the "ending" of the video, or is it the "beginning" ? 🦅⚪✴️
Love Thom Pollard, great interview.
thank you for this youtube
From gear review (no hate, learned a lot) to important human history. It's almost an...evolution. Thanks Darwin!
Darwin onthe…
…DOCUMENTARY?
Outstanding quality and videography!
Well done to you both - great stuff
Wow - just Wow. History is so exciting! Have always been in awe of M & I. God rest their souls. Safe travels & hoping for safe climbing/travels to you all. Thx for this video‼️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Very cool!

reading the title, my first thought was "is he alive?" :)
Yeah, I’m just starting the video but I’m assuming they found a corpse.
Good story , great video

Dude you did it…. Now I will do it too…. As always in your footsteps Sir Darwin
Awesome video! I had no idea he was in NH 😂 btw…what’s the pic at 12:32 …?
Darwin the pro, thanks
🤙
Well that's quite a cliffhanger. Did they find the camera with the second guy?
All of the sudden I'm like 70 years old and am trying to get back into a modicum of climbing, see how it goes I'm trying.
I never did any of the "Death Zone" stuff Mt Whitney was good enough for me, but I admire and am inspired by Climbers. As long as they are sensible climbers.

This is part one, right? I need part two. Just sayin.
Amazing
It's been 75 years
At this point it's been 100 Years actually. It was 75 years when they found him.
Is that the guy that took Mallory's pants and underwear?
I read they should have looked for stones in Mallory’s pocket.
They did search the pockets and found other things - if there were Rocks they would have found them
I think more information could have been found on mallory's body by someone with more medical expertise. Was the approximate area also searched with the metal detector?
Wait... did they verify???
I knew the writings on the boot were pretty much cement....
Has it been verified?? And did they find the camera??
So, when are you and Thom leaving?
Exactly 100 years! What 75 years? Cant you count
75 years is how long Mallory was lost before being discovered in 1999. From 1924-1999. Can’t YOU count???

You know we spend so much time and money on equipment... look what they did in the 30s !!!
Is he alright?!?
If you watched just 2 minutes of the video...
@@johnhardwick1736Woah woah woah. This aggression will not stand, man.
@@pemborsky not aggression, that was just a dumb question. Do you think someone lived and survived 75 years without making it off that mountain?
i was instantly wondering the same thing. he must be glad someone finally found him.
@@johnhardwick1736 he obviously didnt have a smartphone to use google maps!
They found a foot from Irvine last month.
Yep... You should watch till end 😉
They found a foot, not a man… There fixed it…
Nope… they recently found Irvine’s foot. This video is about finding Mallory’s body in 1999. It helps if you watch the video before leaving a comment 😉
