Outstanding and ‘historic’ to watch. Julie is a very intelligent and well spoken lady who shared a lot of tremendous detail. Great questions Thom! Onward Sir!
Fascinating cool Lady, great to hear a family members views and feelings about Sandy and George. Very well interviewed by Thom, enjoyed every second of it, much appreciated 👍...... 🦅⚪✴️
You're a national treasure, sir! When watching your videos, they're so well done and real. Thank you for bringing those of us who can't physically adventure, on amazing adventures 💜
Fantastic. What a fascinating lady Julie is. I really hope she writes that “grown up” version. It truly is one of the world’s greatest mysteries. Thank you
Unbelievable - Julie speaks so well. She would be good to speak to on a semi regular basis. Fascinating....PS. You missed the link to the full podcast in the video description
They were also forging a new path. The route to the summit of Everest is filled with fixed ropes, ladders, and a worn path. Mallory and Irvine were basically building their own country road to get to the summit. I also think it's unlikely they made it, but I'm really happy pieces of this mystery are being put together. No doubt in anyone's mind that Mallory and Irvine were brave trailblazing explorers. RIP
Greetings to all who like this mystery and adventure. Congratulations for your explendid channel. Truly the best of this kind by far. Your are a great host, very honest, polite and decent human being. All the best for you and for your channel. We truly appreciate a lot and look forward for new videos, Interviews.. . American Networks should have you as host..... Best regards to all viewers
This was a great interview with Julie Summers and entertaining as well. Thank you for doing this. I am now going to read her book and hope that someone will sponsor her writing another. There have been so many compelling arguments against Mallory and Irvine having achieved the summit. I always wanted to believe that they did succeed, especially after reading so much about Mallory and his skills and overwhelming desire to be the first to climb Everest, but had to admit that those arguments against it were making a lot of sense. But your assessing the facts (in a previous video after he was found) stating that it was late if they reached the summit and that most accidents happen on the way down, the weather was great, etc. etc. made my belief still seem to be quite valid. Either way, whether they made it or not, they have a very important claim on the mountain and their efforts will never be forgotten. Thanks for all your great videos!
It's really important to remember too to pray for George and Sandy. You can pray the Lord's Prayer so that one's prayer is efficacious before they died (for God is outside time and so our prayers can indirectly affect people from the past). So that seconds (or before) they died, they would have felt the presence of God and experienced a desire to accept His call Home (not forgetting how the good thief on the cross beside Christ on the Cross made a last minute confession and was taken up into Heaven). How scary and lonely it would be to be on the top of the windswept, dark, bitterly-cold mountain without a sense of God - but with the Presence of God, warming and lighting one up inside in a spiritual sense, things would have been totally different. God rest George Mallory and Sandy Irvine
They made it. Just unfortunate they never made it home. What a story they had to tell .. The story is coming out. And it will be a great one when it does .
As far as if they made it, could you clarify whether or not you searched Mallory's body for summit rocks? I've heard some discrepancies over that subject and whether or not it even matters. Thank you.
May I posit a question: if we were inspecting carefully each pocket and collecting all the contents, right down to the most minuscule item, would we need to be searching for something specifically to find it? Ie, a watch, altimeter, a tiny length of string, a pencil, an envelope, a rock? If it was in his pocket and it was a rock, we would have found it and included that with the archival materials brought to Everest Base Camp. There were no 'summit' rocks., apparently proving that M&I didn't make it, given the importance of the presence or absence of them. There were none.
I find the quest trying to find out what happened to Mallory and Irvine truly fascinating. Just one small elephant in the room here. July Summers has written an incredible book on her great uncle born in 1902 but there is not a single relative alive that actually knew Sandy Irvine. I have really interesting great uncles as well but I have no emotional relationship with them because I don't know them, have never met them, never spoken to them. It's out of personal interest she has written a book on Sandy (who happens to have an interesting life story), I'm not able to follow the emotional relationship to an unknown ancestor in the family tree. Other family members have closure now? Other family members are 122 years old?
I have not 1 but 2 ancestors who were famous in their own right. Never felt like writing a line about them. She is amazing. I feel the tragedy numbed them. Just like there are so few books written by Titanic survivors, or 1918 flu survivors. Pain and loss can make you numb.
Too know that you would have to kn9w how long it has been exposed, it could have been covered for many decades, also probably stitched so even if the colour fades the material would still be there, as it was with Mallory's 25 years ago. Cheers
She speaks very well. I don't think she overplays the emotional side re a Great Uncle that she never knew. My instinct is to like this lady and be impressed!
@CawKee no, disagree I think your judgement is way off. Seems an intelligent, pragmatic individual. Doesn't let the emotion take over but allows enough to give us a sense of how it would feel it were our relative that was lost up there.
What a breath of fresh she is! Marvelous interview Thom.
What a sound, grounded lady she is. Really nice to hear from people like that.

What an interesting woman. Great video. Thank you.
Fantastic. What a fascinating lady Julie is. I really hope she writes that “grown up” version. It truly is one of the world’s greatest mysteries. Thank you
Great interview! Love her perspectives and thoughts about Irvine and Mallory on the mountain. Very interesting lady to talk with.
Look at you Thom all dolled up for the interview, looking good bro, love your channel , 👍
LOL we are talking family of mountaineering royalty! Thanks so much : )
That was absolutely marvellous...many thanks.
Great interview Thom, I guess it's a bit easier when you talk to such a fascinating guest. Thanks
Unbelievable - Julie speaks so well. She would be good to speak to on a semi regular basis.

Thank you! I JUST added the link to the podcast as it hadn't fully processed yet. We're good to go!

Great interview, Thom. It will be interesting to see if more is found in the years to come.
Thanks Kevin! Absolutely looking forward to see what this has in store for us. Hope all is well with you and your family

🙄🙄🙄
Excellent T - shirt mate...
They made it. Just unfortunate they never made it home. What a story they had to tell ..
The story is coming out. And it will be a great one when it does .
i hope they made it...its better that way
I have her book 📖😊 Sandy Irvine & I share a birthday . Very interesting conversation, thank you
Dna can be extracted not only from tissue but bone and teeth.
Irvine knew the oxygen sets and adapted them

Thank you. I didn't realize you had found all of those items. I'm still learning about this story.
first to be here yay! wow i cant imagine how i would feel.incredible and what a lovely lady. wheres mallorys family?
Excellent! Perhaps we can welcome a Mallory family member here one day, thank you!

How long would the dye on the name tape take to degrade in high UV...?

@@antonyreyn thanks for that, i believe in miracles....all the best from NE England
I’m stunned Irvine’s family, if she truly represents them, is not claiming the body.
Should they find more parts of Sandy's body, they might look for summit rocks!
I wonder if camera film could still be developed after 100 years?
Can't put my finger on it but I don't like this lady, never met her, bad vibes.
U know what I have never met you and I now get that same feeling about you.
@@antonyreyn😂😂😂
She speaks very well. I don't think she overplays the emotional side re a Great Uncle that she never knew.
