@trapper439 I don't agree with you, man : there are only 3 possibilities if George Mallory's body has been correctly checked : 1-neither George nor Sandy have summitted ; 2-they both have summitted, which I believe ; 3-Sandy Irvine has summitted alone. All that because if George had gone alone to the top, HE WOULD HAVE TAKEN THE CAM WITH HIM. Sorry for my poor english, I'm french.
I don't think anyone will ever find Irvine. The discovery of mallorys body only confuses u more. Irvine may have turned back and fallen later or may have fallen first and the mallory fell descending who knows the camera that was on him may give us insight into how far they got if it's still able to be developed after nearly ninety years in the snow.
@tomkorff they did show george mallory respect i mean they i didnt ev en rummige through his body i bet he was laying on top of his camera or mabey he has his camera in his coat i didnt see them even check
And you are one to talk, your life is so bad and sad you have to attack people on Youtube. And you have no idea what you are talking about. Good Luck with life.
Messner is awesome, so is Kukuzcka and lafaille and herzog, and you know who else is awesome viesturs, even if viesturs usually did things the "typical way" hey guess what, messner's brother died, lafaille died on makalu in the winter, kukuzcka died on lhoste south face, herzog has no fingers or toes, viesturs is alive and well and never had hape or hace or had to be rescued... there are lots of awesome climbers and they are all awesome for their own reasons
No problem...definitely a great guy. I've known Dave for years, worked with him on Rainier for 6 seasons, and have gone to Everest with him on 4 of my 5 expeditions as well as South Georgia Island. Great guy, a good friend, and fun to climb with!
No definitive evidence to suggest one way or the other, but id like to think that they were the first as its such a fantastic story of courage.RIP george and Andrew.
You're right - no evidence to prove they did reach the top, and likewise (and often forgotten or brushed aside), no evidence whatsoever to prove the did not reach the top. A quintessential mystery, I guess. I, too, like to believe they reached the top in 1924 - wouldn't take anything away from Sir Edmund Hillary & Tenzing Norgay, as they made the first round trip, which is an important component to success - and would be amazing to have them there in '24 in wool, tweed, and hobnails.
Getting up and getting down is the ONLY component to success. Whatever the question of Mallory and Irving summitting the rock it's a moot point as they never made it back to tell the tale.
I'd like to think Mallory and Irvine made it as well. I just read something interesting about their clothing and basic gear, apparently it wasn't so primitive after all. Check 'innovation-for-extremes.' and look for malloryMyths, if you haven't already. Just for shits and giggles I'm having a pair Dunham Waffle Stompers decked out with TRICOUNI climbing nails to get a taste of the past.
I am not much on snow and cold so I wouldn't do to good there.

I've read about how in the death zone you have to take a dozen breaths after each step. But this video actually shows that.
Personally, I think Mallory made it to the top, and Irvine waited for him to come back down in vain.

The chance of finding that body is probably something like 2 %
its a interesting story though i hope when they do find that body, they treat it with more respect then they did with his mate!
