    Mallory and Irvine have been my heroes (along with Shackleton) ever since I was a little girl. I had two grown up brothers that would tell their stories to me and I’ve been fascinated by them ever since. George Mallory didn’t have his wife’s photo on him when he was found all those years later, it must still be on the top of Everest 🤞🤞 🤞 🤞 🤞

The eternal moral dilemma that being there destroys the reason you are there. Remote, isolated, beauty. Thank you Chomolungma, for letting me walk in the footsteps of those who went before. Well done to you and your team.

The col is the site of so much suffering! You captured the seracs, the spindrift, the everything! I had to draw my own maps while reading that 646 page tome. Now, you've brought everything to film with your team's gorgeous cinematography. Thank you so very much!

    As I watched, I was most struck by the fact that most people lose their balance under the simplest of situations when filming ANYTHING, on level, warm, pleasant terra firma. And here you are filming in the most precarious and dangerous of places, and you are unable to really watch where you're going because you are documenting this event. Also, like every other climber there, you must still TRY to think of your safety, as well as deal with every other aspect of the personal dangers and difficulties.......OMG, I truly don't know how you did it!! I think I'm still holding my breath for you!!!
