I'm blown away by the quality of the images. Even extremely zoomed everything is very crisp, and from 2009! I can only imagine the advances in the tech since then. Thanks Jake for sharing this, and pointing out what we're looking at. It's like a guided tour in high def from here at sea level! I'm following a friend of a friend currently staged for a summit bid in the next 2 days. Inspiring stuff! Cheers Geoffrey

@jake_norton 3 года назад

Thanks, Geoffrey! Glad you liked the imagery and the detail in there. I just wish I could go back in time and shoot some of those again, with today's cameras, and with the thought of creating panoramas. Ah, hindsight! Anyway, thank you again, and good luck to your friend - hope they will be safe and successful!

Thanks Jake for making this possible. For many of us who arent mountaineers yet still appreciate the spirit of adventure, this is an awesome gift. Any thoughts about taking another shot at the West Ridge?

@jake_norton 2 года назад

Thanks, Steve, and glad you enjoyed it! Man, I'd love - in some ways - to try the West Ridge again. It's such an amazing route, and incredible what Hornbein and Unsoeld did (along with all the others) in 1963. That said, the wimp in me is kind of done with the Khumbu Icefall - had enough close calls in there over the years, and I'm not a huge fan of extreme objective hazard. So, I doubt I'll go back - unless I can teleport through the Icefall to Camp 1 and start from there!

@thesketchydude1315 3 года назад

when you got to about 8400-8500 meters did you encounter any "older" debris? (specifically dating back to the 1970s, like Oxygen bottles, tents, "HEAD" branded stuff, etc.)

@jake_norton 3 года назад

On the Southeast Ridge, or Northeast Ridge? If the former, I haven't seen anything, but there's a lot more snow on that side, so items get buried much more so than on the North. North side has a lot of artifacts in that realm, and I've found bottles from 1960 and 1975, and a lot more! Amazing place!

@thesketchydude1315 Год назад

@@jake_norton I genuinely have no idea why I never replied, a thousand apologies for that anyway I meant the Southeast Ridge Not surprised as it seems there isn't too many places for stuff like that to still be "Extent" above the snow I am trying to find traces of the 1979 "Swabian Expedition" lead by Dr. Gerhard Schmatz of West Germany but so far all I've found are a single photo and unfortunately its of one of the Casualties, the Wife of Dr. Gerhard, Hannelore Schmatz. if it at all helps, most of the Items used seemed to have a very specific symbol stamped onto them, I have no idea what to call it but its a "circle" which almost looks like the sun or the moon reflecting off rippled water (Dr. Schmatz personal website had the logo as part of the homepage when it was still active many years ago)

@SuperGeorge1953 3 года назад

Given that the approximate location of Andrew Irvine's body has been identified can you use this technology to search for it?

@scottyfenton2726 3 года назад

I suspect it depends on the conditions of when the picture was taken, even if the location was officially know it could be covered by snow and ice or worse could have funneled to another position down the mountain due to thawing... I hope it is discovered someday as it would help to solve the mysteries surrounding the expedition. Great question I think.

@SuperGeorge1953 3 года назад

@@scottyfenton2726 You are right. He is in a gully as seen from aerial photos. The climber who saw him said he was on his side in a sleeping position. If you assume he had some control he would have find a protected place and that is why he has been hard to find as the gully would be full of snow. Perhaps climate change will reveal him.

@jake_norton 3 года назад

Hi all, unfortunately, I don't think we can say anymore that Irvine's location has been identified. Many of us thought we knew very roughly where he might be, but those areas have been searched to a large extent and turned up nothing, sadly. I'm not saying Irvine is no longer/never was up there in the Yellow Band, but I'm not sure we have any solid indicators anymore about where he may be. Always good, though, to keep the conversations going!

@alexk2652 3 года назад

@@SuperGeorge1953 the michael tracy youtube channel offers a possible site of his body. However its hard to see anything definitive. As Jake says, it may difficult or impossible to find.
