Curious what the temps are there when you did this and what camera gear you use under such harsh conditions ? Thanks for contributing this piece.

@jrndai

I read your article " What Really Happened to George Mallory & Andrew Irvine?" and have come to believe that you may very well be correct that the two split up at the second step after Irvine gave Mallory a shoulder stand in order to allow Mallory to make a summit dash.

Jake I can't tell you how much I admire you guys for what you are doing. And you are one hell of a writer and critical thinker.

Best Wishes Jake

Is that Dave Hahn filming?

@nexypointy The other guy was Mallory and they both perished, the less money you spend the more risks you take. If you just wanna be one of the 300 corpses on the mountain sure it doesn't cost that much.

[nexypointy]

@jrndai when irvine and the other guy climbed the everest, didn't cost them that much! that's stupid! 200 thousand dollars? i mean seirously? permits and basic emergency supply...guy done it before without any of these sponsors

Okay first of all coopsbrewer is a fucking comedy genious that was the funiest thing i seen all day, and second off all, that thing you said you werent sure what it was at 3:30 if you look at it again in this video and if you have seen what george mallory's goggles looked like, that looked kind of simmilar...... :O

[KayakingWizard]

@stue962 There is speculation as to whether they made it up or not before they died, however mallorys body would suggest they were on their way down through the position of equipment on him and that stored upon his person. There also was no photo in which he carried of his wife, which he had promised to leave at the top for her. Irvine had a camera with him, if its discovered one day, it may prove they made it to the top.

[coopsbrewer]

just shows you it dosnt matter where humans go we leave all our crap there.
