Mount Everest Mallory & Irvine 1924 Discovery Of Mallory's body

[xbox300dude7]

You'r sick



[wafeman17]

i wish we could have seen his face.

[TheLilyLotus]

The best thing is the way his remains were treated by those who found it. Different peoples travelled arnd the Himalayas over the course of time, with honorable intentions. Locals & those currently interfering with their political agendas in the name of science, need to respect that.

[cashman156]

A moving video, all respect to the guys that found a honoured Mallory.

[JayCKat]

I wonder if they turned the body over, any camera would be in his front pocket.

[zhanzhuang011]

Did they search for the photo of Mallory's wife on him? Mallory said if he scaled Everest he would leave her photo on the summit. If no photo was found he would never have lost it so ........???

Did they leave his body there ? It seems like it.

Shame they got all emotionally fucked up in religious crap. This might have prevented a proper and scientific search of the area and the body. I mean it is just a body for Christ's sake!

[imranog1]

good job u guys buryed him may allah blass him

[jasrogg]

God i wish i was in good enough shape and had the money to Climb Everest.

[Lavenderblue333]

@jasrogg Read Jon Krakauer's Into Thin Air and then maybe wish for something else.

[jasrogg]

@Lavenderblue333 I have seen him interviewed and i know what you mean.It just seems like a challenge that would push you to your breaking point and really see what you are made of.Which im my case would probably be base camp LOL.

[jasrogg]

@Lavenderblue333 Have you noticed what type of person climbs K2?They seem very serious and very smart.It makes you want to surround yourself with those types of people.Not the ones at work so much.How dont read or think deeply and complain about the most trivial garbage.

[globeisnotpyramid]

Better leave the peaks for the Gods.

[TheRaellz]

@globeisnotpyramid it's thinking like that that will keep us out of space or progressing at all as a species.

there was no need to bury him, specially with stones. .

[steveo1274]

I would have at least taken the boot and sold it on eBay

[steveo1274]

I would have pulled the whole thing out and at least tried to find something to bring back. People act so superstitious it would be different if the dude died like 10 years ago but damn 1920's.

[MrAtishraja]

Get to the dead body c'mon!

[TEUARII]

RESPECT!!!

[losteden]

he even know there must have reached the summit and then to have died down ...

[megaflyinbrian]

nice prayer!

[ORLYReviews]

RIP

[fujimatosa]

They should take a professional autopsist in their expedition.

Also they didn't look under the body. May be camera was left under the body

[Anangasnake]

@fujimatosa They did look under the body, their full examination of it took a lot longer than what you see here

[jackstained]

I think they should have left the body there.

[noquedaunbuennombre]

@jackstained It's agaisnt nepalese law, since they consider the place to be sacred and don't want it to become a graveyard.

[stackoleebillylions]

@noquedaunbuennombre Is that why they kick dead bodies off the side of the mountain

[gt40f]

@noquedaunbuennombre there's about 50 or more bodies on Everest, its too hard to bring them down

[Anju1272]

@jackstained It's against the law to do so.

[upmaine]

@jackstained They did leave the body there. They covered it with rocks.

[gapchick101]

@jackstained They never moved the body ever they did take a few artifacts and something for DNA testing but that's all.....

[stackoleebillylions]

@jackstained they left it there

[clintonearlwalker]

@jackstained To the best of my knowledge, they did leave his body there. "The expedition conducted an Anglican service for Mallory and covered his remains with a cairn."--Wikipedia As can be seen at the end of this video. Unless someone has removed it since, it's still there.

[gt40f]

@jackstained they did leave the body there, they just covered it with rocks

why wouldn't anyone think it wasn't him? His name on the collar ...who the hell else would it be.

[WELLBRAN]

Quite a moving experience.

[benjamiy831]

This is amazing footage. Thank for uploading. RIP George Mallory

[Rubenwbrk]

who is george mallory? i don't know who he is sorry... :(

[jpdemer5]

@Rubenwbrk There's this thing called Google. Maybe you don't know about that either?

[soaniles]

If you die first I'm splitting up yer gear and moving on Oh Almighty have mercy on us all PLS forgive us Amiin now get me down from here safely

[sidacooldude]

well i dont have much words to say but i think before climbing he must have thought that if he dies he would have loved to die over there .but the thing is this that it needs a lot of courage to do such things which all cant do .

[latte123]

Even if he (or Irvine) made it to the top, I agree with Sir Edmund Hillary who says that it's only a successful climb if you make it back.

( But then again, I'm a Kiwi..... :) )

[Bobbyjoesnose]

he climbed alone?



[Awakeyourselves]

Amazing

[UnscrupulousAgitator]

Was this George? Or? They said it could have been a borrowed shirt. Anyone know?

[suzanome3]

thanks @smooshiebear80

"let's see if we can tell his story. Let's see if we can honor him. Let's see if we can get rich by finding his dead body. Let's see if girls will finally like us......."

[Jsd8675]

Weirdos... risking your life and your family's security to go up and find a dead sack of cells.

[Guerillaradio13]

just sad that they havent found Irvine's body, it is still up there undiscovered, whether or not that Chinese climber saw him the day before he died we'll never know.

[sbrnakiss]

@relmmih6 only if it's served with rice

RIP

[mashbob11]

OMG!!

[sxr951]

Who is mallory?

[cowtippper1996]

Joe 1969812 just really doesnt understand what climbing mt everest really means, or where that actually was (very high). But c'mon guys dont be so mean to people. Thats why we have wars.

[cowtippper1996]

Mallory made it.

[OsceolaLongBeard]

1924 my ass

[MySanAndreas]

@OsceolaLongBeard u mad

[EliT3man]

@joe1969812 your a fucking idiot you stupid fuck. Your probably some fat fuck having fantasies about climbing mountains and yet you say stop breathing so hard. I'd like to see you go up on a fucking hill without breathing hard.

[insideoutface]

Can't imagine what that must've felt like when they realised it was George Mallory. Amazing vid.

[ryansling]

One in four is k2..

[BlackMountainScar]

Big respect to anyone who climbs or even attempts to climb Everest, especialy in Mallory and Irvines era (1924).. To this day 1 in 4 people to attempt Everest, die on Everest..

[Devgru77]

Total class in burying him. I didn't know the guy, but that crew did a good thing. Thumbs up!

[brendan4ever]

Does any one think mallory summitted? not sure myself but i hope so

[joe1969812]

l wish that one guy would stop breathing so fucking load, l mean nobody else sounded like they just climbed a farking mountain.

[glowjuice]

@joe1969812 He might be having issues adjusting to thin oxygen? :/

[pangrac1]

@joe1969812 go up there and try by yourself ... or mute sound

[joe1969812]

@pangrac1 Are you that dude? lf not shut the fuck up, lf you are then quit breathing so fucking loud.

[megabowzer100]

@joe1969812 the oxygens a quarter what it is at ground level so heavy breathing is perfectly normal..i bet you breathe worse than this when your running to the pie shop you fat prick lol

[joe1969812]

@megabowzer100 I bet l wouldn't break a sweat kicking your ass, fag ass skater boy.

[PuNiShxXUnFiTxX]

@joe1969812 your bitching cause hes breathing loudly cause he climbing the highest peak on earth? fucking idiot

[scrimmy45]

I read an article in the Sunday Times around 2 years ago that stated that a chinese climber had found the body of what was presumed to be Andrew Irvine and that an expedition was being planned by the same team who located George Mallory. As I recall the article inferred that Irvine was found, having presumably sought shelter,perhaps after becoming stranded after Mallory's fall?..as Mallory was the most experienced climber of the two.If found then the camera may be located.Did they top out?

[PavelSoviak1]

there is an excellent one hour video on VeeHD. It's called "The Search for Mallory " I believe. Very moving ...and tells the story from the beginning. It's a true documentary with artifacts found on Mallory. The climbers are amazed, and nearly in tears looking at the things they found...a letter from his brother among others...

[Terpaxsten]

I wish we could know if he made it to the summit then died on the way down, or died on the ascent. Will we ever know?

[zackjr]

man .. thats amazing !

ill never forget this video  : )

mallory is legendary

[smooshiebear80]

Can someone tell me what documentary this clip is from? It's similar to "The Wildest Dream" but I believe the footage in this one and the interviews are slightly different. I'd love to see more of it.

[AllanHunter1]

@smooshiebear80 it's from a bbc documentary which was released on vhs.."lost on everest,the search for mallory and irvine.

[ABC2D2]

@smooshiebear80 watch the documentary "The Wildest Dream 2010". Its all about George Mallory

[turricaned]

@smooshiebear80 The "body" used in The Wildest Dream movie is a mockup.  The only people who know the location of Mallory's body are the members of the team that found him, and they all agreed to keep it a secret for the foreseeable future.

[stue962]

does anyone know at what height was mallorys body discovered as they dont mention this is this clip ?

[flowerofthemoon]

@stue962 8300 m

[cimawr]

@Louisthefish: Mallory was not "on his own". He was with an expedition, and climbing with a partner, Andrew Irvine.

[cimawr]

@Harry's Secret and mundster - you should try doing some real research. The evidence that proved the body was George Leigh Mallory is well known: Personal documents on the body all belonged to Mallory, and several pieces of clothing bore his name. Additionally, they had gotten permission from his family to remove tissue for DNA testing if the body was found, and before burying him they took a small bit of flesh from one of his arms.

[HarrysSecret]

@cimawr Luckily for us, you seem to have already done some "real" research, so thanks for confirming that DNA testing has taken place.

So Irvine is still missing then. There's a good chance he will be found one day.

I would be pleased if it was discovered that they did reach the top though I have no idea how that could be known for certain.

[cimawr]

@HarrysSecret - I was being a bit sarcastic, since EVERY account of the finding of Mallory's body I've ever read or watched has mentioned that Anker, with permission from Mallory's family, took a sample for DNA testing. As far as verifying whether they reached the top -from what I've read the only way will be if someone manages to find the camera Irvine was carrying, and there are recoverable images on the film. It's almost certain that if they DID get to the summit, they'd have taken pictures.

[HarrysSecret]

@cimawr In my defense, this is fairly new interest for me and I don't have a TV.

So I've been learning loads from youtube and people like you!

I know you were being sarky but sometimes its handy to have a smartass around because they often know the answer.

;-)

[LilyBme]

i assume that this research expedition team looked under Mallory's body for the infamous camera.....possibly the only photographic evidence of Malory reaching the summit....if indeed he did....the climbers are very respectful in this video.

[lessiv]

@mundster Why should Irvine have "G.Mallory" sewed in all his clothes?

[mundster]

Now I have finally seen this I'm truly disappointed. As I feared these guys seem to have wasted the trip. these guys were obviously not interested in recording the event if they did they cut a lot out. They could have taken a sample for DNA I have read no evidence that they did so, only that their is still confusion as to whether it was Mallory or Irvine. They were to worried disturbing his remains to do a thorough identification.

[HarrysSecret]

@mundster I agree with you. They could have easily removed hair and nail clippings, possibly even a tooth.

It's safe to say one of them has been found but no more than that.

[AllanHunter1]

All the papers letters etc recovered from the body belonged to Mallory,they also recovered an altimeter from the body,and it was known that Mallory had such an instrument,it was also marked Mount Everest Expedition number two,which Mallory was on. What i found interesting is the fact that within the various letters,documents etc found on Mallory there was no photograph of his wife,and he had declared that he would place just such a photograph on the summit.

[badaboehm]

@AllanHunter1 Man, I still get goosebumps watching this every time. I imagine it was both amazing and humbling, discovering the final resting place of this amazing man. I am at present re-reading Messner's The Crystal Horizon, and am still very very curious as to whether they might have made it to the top. If they did, I have a hunch they might have gone partly up/down the Norton Couloir in order to avoid the second step. Even Messner found it technically easy climbing. Fantastic video! :-)

[sepdet13]

@AllanHunter1 Some have suggested that Mallory would have gotten out his wife's photo after he fell, holding onto it until it blew away. But he could just as easily have made it to the top and placed it there (where, also, it would've blown away after a time). Either way, it's probably been given to the winds up there.

[Wojtek107]

@AllanHunter1 mabe he took it out as he knew he was not going to make it and held the photo in his hands

[concordatthefort]

That was his wildest dream.

[LiammcquayREvenge25]

Dave looks like frodo

[5A1312EWULFX]

they say mallory and irvine could have made it to the summit, and they were acctualy on the way down the mountain when they fell. looking at mallorys hands they apeared to be clinched into the ground like he was tryin to stop hisself. another thing mallory said to his wife he would leave a her picture on the summit and the picture wasent found on him.

[5A1312EWULFX]

double checked its acctually the wildest dream also on netflix

[91joelt]

Anybody knows the title of this documentary? Saw this on free TV back in early 2000's but I forgot the title.

[rockcreek811]

@91joelt I just watched it,it is call the The Wildest Dream,I believe is was a National Geographic documentary.

[MrDiggger]

I bet thats how he wanted to go. Died doing what he loved and preserved perfectly on his greatest accomplishment

[aquinn5234]

@MrDiggger Unless he loved falling to and freezing to death, I don't think he died doing what he loved.

[jonrleephoto]

People should read the very comprehensive and well detailed analysis of Andrew Irvine and George Mallory by Tom Holzel. It is titled: The Search for Andrew Irvine. It is to date the best report I have ever read on the subject. Holzel details the events as he believes it happended and bases it on the known evidence that is available. Now, to find Irvine and the camera.

[renemendezbarrios]

Some body ever thought that the Chines may been follow Mallory's steps to the summit and hide any evidence that Mallory and Irvine made it to the summit like the Kodak camera. I think some of the chines would be alive and I hope they that the courage to say the truth about what they found on Everest before any one else went for that route.

[relmmih6]

@renemendezbarrios if they chinese found irvines body,im afraid thats the last we will see of it.those chinks will eat anything

[tpiom]

wow... i t was... so long ago for him. I'm speechless.

[Mengoraa]

From the Evidence shown, and The altitude the body was found, Mallory probably did make it to the top. If he didnt fall he would have been with Irvine, and wouldnt have a fractured leg, and besides, he was lower than he was last seen. My other prediction is he tried to get down because he lost Irvine and he lost grip and fell. With all my trust, RIP George Mallory and Andrew Irvine, You have showed us what you can do if we believe.

[cimawr]

@Mengoraa - "Predictions" are made about something that may happen in the future, not about events nearly 80 years in the past. As far as whether Mallory and Irvine seperated, there were serious rope-jerk injuries to Mallory's mid-section which indicate he fell while still roped to Irvine.

[Fabzil]

It's incredible how, for a atheist like me, religious death talk has no effect whatsoever on him. Doesn't means I don't feel moved by the founding of the corpse

[elainesman]

very touching, all cdedit to you all. thank you...not just for posting. ps- i believe they made it.

[Louisthefish23]

i think this is why you should go up with people not on ur own :p

[smilie120]

Amazing.

[monewmeek]

wow.... RIP Mr Mallory
