Lost On Everest - The Search For Mallory & Irvine. 1/5

[strokerman01]

Why does this seem like it was filmed in the mid 80s?

[FaerieCrone]

@strokerman01 Re-enactments.

[strokerman01]

@FaerieCrone Yeah, but even like the color schemes and the video quality looks like it was taken off a VCR. Good documentary though. However, I am still upset nowhere in here nor in "The Wildest Dream" do they mention the head injury that likely killed Mallory outright.

Also recommend The Wildest Dream (on instant Netflix). When body of Mallory is found, goggles were in his pocket and the photo of his wife was nowhere in his pockets. Significance: He was seen with Irvine about 800 feet from the summit during the light of day. He would have put his goggles in his pocket during the descent in the darkness--on the way down. There were papers in his pockets but no photo, which he promised to place on the summit!

It can't be proven but i think they made it. Just my opinion, though making it down alive is part of a successfull climb. But man that took some serious ball to climb that monster into the complete unkown in those days. like 20 years before Hilary. Mallory was a beast.

Oh my gosh that's amazing. I've been reading this story for years. Thanks for posting this. I can't believe how far up they got, even if not all the way, using what they did and wearing those things. Incredible achievement.

[paraconti]

Golly they dressed like they were going for a picnic and short hike up some Welsh hill. Gotta admire their spirit and courage.
