Conquest Of Everest - Revisited - Full Documentary 

Yes, a run of the mill unboxing video gets more likes, sad reflection on society

Limiting the permits may be a good idea. But I have a notion that the government people who are collecting these fees for these permits are enjoying the money they get. Corruption is always so sad as it comes at the cost of its citizens and it’s land.

I don't know from Tibetan side, but from Nepalese side each permit costs 12,000 USD.

That's probably why I'd just find my own rt

I like what you did there. A very clever tribute 👏

Well Mallory wasn’t saying much he was dead lol neither Tensing or Hillary would say who summited first . Probably because they would never of got there at all without each other or the team behind them . As you say real heroes xxx

You mean Hillary or Tensing

@@philipdavidson645 ~ thank you for correcting me,. I follow Everest and can’t believe I made that error. Sir Ed is a hero of mine for his work with Sherpa’s and their children by building schools and being such a strong voice.

Considering they where tied to each other about 6ft apart, it’s safe to say Hillary and Norgay summited together 😁

Tensing did say in his autobiography that Hilary summited first.

Book name?

The conquest of Everest 2013 The Accent of Everest 1953 (the original edition)

If you gotta do it, may as well do it in style😎. No shit though, nails!

Excellent documentary with Vintage and rare Video camera clips. Well done Penny Mallory and team.

Wot you blabbing about mate 😂😂 ....only joking, I get your point

I'd love to think that they made it but I can't see how they would have climbed that 2nd step with the equipment they had at the time and Irvine was an inexperienced climber.

Have you read everything about the 1924 expedition. The reason Odell had changed his mind about seeing them on the second step going to the 3rd step was because people pressed him about it. So Norton changed it, and the news paper article went missing out of the expedition report. Odell was asked again a few years before he died and his story was the same as the day he wrote it in 1924. Many fantastic books and many of the climbing community have given their own opinions on what happened that day. I've read everything lol

@@Bella.216 what do you reckon happened and what route they took? Any good book suggestions?

Well I saw yesterday video where a climber said he tought Mallory didnt get there, but when they found his body and he saw him there, naked open back and arms, how strong and pretty good build up he was, he said that if anyone would go to the top, he would do that without second tought. But, as that equipment and really easy dressed, with bad weather can be nasty up there. No muscles can beat wind and a simple slip down. He broke his leg and his head was injured bad. So he felt down and died from injuries? If weather wasnt that bad, and his equipment was ok, he did it. He saved from all bottles those caps or how they are called, so he used all the oxygen. I really think he was up there. No photo that he supposed to leave on top, and his googles in pocket.. hope camera will be found in my lifetime. Thnx for video! 🙏🙏

@@cejka30 It's actually possible they could have gotten up the second step! Conrad Anker, the guy that found Mallory's body, did a succesful free climb of the second step in like 2007, without the chinese ladder or fixed ropes, using exact replica's of the gear Mallory had, and he made it up the second step! He also found that most of the second step was actually easier in the old gear - it's not as good for keeping warm, but it's a hell of a lot less bulky than modern snowsuits. Modern climbers can't see their own feet, but Mallory and Irvine could, which would have made navigating most of the second step an easier process. As for the the nearly impossible part, that's a vertical cliff at the top that's about 16 feet tall. Irvine and Mallory were both 6 feet tall, and the very top part of that cliff is the easier portion; there's more handholds, and there's a bit of a slope instead of straight vertical. The general theory is that Irvine acted as a human ladder, Mallory climbed up him, then using their combined height Mallory got up the last few feet, before belaying Irvine up after him. The human ladder technique is how the Chinese first got up it on the first northern route summit in 1960 - though in that case, lead climber Qu Yinhua went far enough to remove his boots and mitts to make it possible, which was certainly A Choice. He lost his hands and feet to frostbite, but I mean, he got up the cliff.

To me thats what makes this documentary better. They dont say " sherpas dod this " or " the English did that" This documentary speaks of the whole experdition, not as 2 diffeernt groups, or 1 group more important than the other but 1 team working together, none more important than the other. Thays why its never been the first person to summit, but the first people to summit. Hillary and Norgay. Tbats why Hillary made the pact with norgay never to say who was first but that they were both first to summit. Ok Norgay revealed all in b his book but Hillary knew like the whole team did that none of it would of been possible whithour sherpas, also it had been a dream of Norgays to get to the top of Everest since childhood so this made it possible for him. They repeatedly say " the teams" in this..not Hillary amd his sherpa. So while they dont get singled out for their work, they are treated as part of the team they were. They all got recognition after for being part of the experdition. The English never trivialised the sherpas part in this. They knew they couldnt do it wothout them. If antthing they were treated with amot more respect back then for their part. I like the way this documentary dosnt make anyone anyess or more important than another but speaks of them as team. The way sherpas are treated today though is a different story..

Not really.

And the Emperor concerto....🎵🎶

I seen someone on another video say "So if Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldron died upon re-entry should they not be credited with being the first people to walk on the moon because they died on their way back?"

EXACTLY! I think every video celebrating someone’s summit should start with that preface. God bless the Sherpas.

I think you’re the first person to ever point that out , thanks

It's still 6,on the north side. The 4 camps are the other side, the Nepal side.

You don’t successfully summit Everest unless you get back down safely . They were the first to conquer Everest and had every right to feel that way xxx

@@jennalowry6100 if Mallory and Irvine did it, they were the first to set foot on the summit. As simple as that. Coming back does not matter for the history. Hillary was the first to survive and all honors to him. Btw we are talking about nothing, we will never know what happened in 1924

@@propriono : Of course it matters.

@@propriono too true , i believe that as well plus don't forget hillary and tenzing went up the easier south side with better equipment years later , the nepalese would not allow george mallory to take that route

Unless you're messner

"Clearly this is impossible without Sherpas" For most modern summiteers sure, although it has been done. The circumstantial evidence available even points to Mallory & Irvine being successful without Sherpas.

@@1TUFZ71 I mean... I also believe Mallory and Irvine reached the summit in 1924, but I wouldn't really call that a success. Reaching the summit is great and all, but you kinda need to get back down alive after, and they only did the first half the job. I get what you're saying, but I would not call that a success. And besides, they were working with Sherpa's - who do you think hauled all their stuff up the mountain?

Because he was an engineering student and had done the last modifications to the oxygen apparatus and overall had the most knowledge about the system. Mallory thought it best to take him incase they needed to make some emergency adjustments or repairs while climbing this is all in an interview with Noel Odell. Geoffrey Bruce who had made an attitude record of just over 27,000 feet in 1922 had no previous climbing experience before setting foot on Everest so Andrew Irvine was more than capable to climb with mallory

I can imagine - the script for this one is poor and the graphics awful at conveying the route.

It’s the BRITISH 🇬🇧 flag, not ENGLAND 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

It was A British expedition

Nothing to do with England. They just did all the reasearch, organised everything, and paid for everything. Not to mention being the first ones to even have the insane idea of going there. And before you say anything... I'm Croatian, I got no horse in this race. Facts are just facts.

and Columbus did not discover America, he just found out about it, thats all. native Americans and Mexicans were here forever before him

Its also possible that no NZ person or Sherpa person made it to the summit. If the Hillary Step was frozen over, they would not be able to climb it.

maybe one day

Maybe the Chinese have no desire to give it back…

Hahahah exactly the same as what I was thinking right after she said that too….. 🤣🤣🤣🤣😬🤷🏻‍♀️

or maybe he was on the south side the first time HE saw the mountain

I get what you mean. If you liked this and like anything Everest or K2 ect then of you havnt alresdy check out David Snow on here..i still have no idea who David Snow is but he got loads of videos on that channle. One of them is much the same as rhis but different narration. Im very fussy when it comes to narrated vids on here, more so on pod casts. Alot of voices i just cant listen to. Down side is its shown im very sexsit! Appears i can only listen to men dling the narrations mostly lol
