Sir Edmund Hillary on climbing Mt. Everest, 1977: CBC Archives | CBC 

Yup. We’ll probably never know if George Mallory and Andrew Irvine summited, or *exactly* how they died. Regardless, they earned their place among the greatest mountaineers of all time.

Mallory made it to the top. They didn't find the photo of his wife in his Pocket.

@@LESTR97 Only the chinese know. They were the ones who took the camera off of Mallory when they found his body.

@@ryanjofre from all the data we have on it. I think its pretty unlikely that mallory made it in my opinion.

@@amosonyoutube with respect, there's no reason why Mallory and Irvine couldn't have summited. 1). Weather was relatively warm (for Everest), 2). Their clothing and boots were of comparable (or lighter) than modern clothing and boots. 3). They had oxygen (and Irvine was familiar and capable of fixing it) 4). Mallory was an experienced climber. 5). Mallory was in the two previous expeditions. 6). Matterhorn had been climbed in 1865 so 2nd step wasn't impossible due to gear limitations. 6). The second step has been climbed by two different climbers on two different routes on the same day without the ladder, a man of Mallory's experience would have been able to climb the second step (if the rock and snow conditions were favourable) as it wasn't the difficulty of climbing it, it was the time it would take and the problems associated with high altitude

Actually the blood that flowed through Ed was Yorkshire and a little bit of Irish in there too

@Sanctus Paulus 1962 back then australian and kiwi accents were very similar

@SanctusPaulus-ic5gl then you can’t tell the difference. Australians have far more twang in their voice.

Tenzing was way better than Edward.

what do you mean?

The word Sherpa became interchangeable with mountain guide at this time. In fact, most people didn't even realise it was the name of an ethnic group. Obviously, the word isn't used like that anymore. So when they say "his Sherpa" they mean his mountain guide. Tensing was a professional porter/mountain guide and met Hilary on another expedition and he hired him to work on this expedition. They equal partners as climbers and Hilary treated him as such but it is a fact that he was hired just like Sherpas on Everest today.

With all due respect Sir Edmond Hillary has always given equal credit and respect to Tensing Norgay. Additionally he has always referred to him as his Co Climer!!!!

I believe Hillary has always been very modest about his achievements. He certainly did not try to be any kind of celebrity. I met him once.

Late but yes lol

QUADECA

Quanka

Jesus I thought I was having a stroke reading this.

What

Who?

Neither of them died during their climb

He died at home in Newzealand in his bed...

@@sketch3744 did they take his body down off the mountain? im confused, i thought he died on the mountain?

@@laurieuebbing3500 He didn't die, he safely made it down and went on to live for 40 more years. He died in 2008 at home in NZ...

oh we didn't know it thanks for enlightening us

Don't start

People in New Zealand and Australia were generally encouraged to sound more English. The New Zealand accent started to develop around the 1940s, but wasn’t noticeable until the 80s

Not really

I disagree, being a Native Kiwi I feel our Men have a more down to earth way of talking. . Our Kiwi men sound and are just that ...Kiwi Men☮️💖

Thank you Sir Ed Hillary, my first Nepal New Year 2021 in Alice Springs .... they Respect you & you Represent them. U R loved by the Nepalise people. You made us so proud to be Kiwi 💖U heaps.
