I heard a guy on another documentary say "if you summit, but don't make it back down, it doesn't count". I'm not sure how most mountaineers think, but I kind of agree. Doesn't take away from Mallory's attempt. To try what he did back in 1924 is amazing.
You did not come back empty handed ERIC. Your team saved 5 lives and that is a brilliant accomplishment especially from those altitudes.
The pointy mountain in the opening picture was not Everest, too pointyI believe Mallory and Irvine made the summit, which doesn’t degrade the accomplishments of Hillary and Tenzing in any way. They were the first to do so and survive to talk about it, like the U K version of Neal Armstrong.
Your expedition did the right thing, helping people in need is way more important than finding artifacts, I salute you guys!
I love Mallory and his expeditions but even if he did summit he did not make it back we can not take anything away from Hillary and tenzing they were the first.
From my understanding, cerebral edema happens not from lack of oxygen but because of the difference in air pressure at high altitudes. And also, paradoxical undressing isn't just a "form of dementia", from what I know the sufferer actually feels warmth being released to their extremities from their core, so the feeling of overheating is very real.
I admire Mountaineers George Mallory and Andrew Irvine, very sad to see Mallory's remains and glad the team was able to provide a proper burial. They died doing what they loved best climb the tallest and majestic Mt Everest. Interesting example of the brain Edema; to go up knowing what may happen to the brain; for me is incomprehensible. I still admire all Mountaineers so much will power. To all who have perished may they Rest in Peace.
I believe Mallory made the summitt. Making the summitt is only half the journey. The hardest part is the descent. You can summit and think your successful, but if you don't make it down the mountain, the summit has no meaning. Hillary and Tenzing deserve the credit because they made the journey and lived to feel the victory. That is what it is about. They also made the journey carrying their share of weight and not pampered by Sherpas who, these days, are the reason so many make the summit.
Honestly the documentary becomes so much more interesting when it turns into a rescue mission, and kudos to them for saving a life. However I also have dismay for all these people climbing everest who aren't fit enough to climb or not turning back when they should and putting others lives at risk. Almost impossible to do a documentary up there cause someone will always need saving.
the mountain that never sleeps.
It’s nice to see a team that cares more about human life than summiting.
What a treat! - a documentary I haven't seen. Thank you Mr Snow. Totally heroic by all, I wish there was another expedition to try and find that photograph...
You have to admire the rescue effort the lads made.
The mission was a massive success,when you can save a life that is the ultimate achievement.
First-class documentary.
Those guys are heroes, not every mountaineer would sacrifice their dream to climb to the top, to save lives! So many times we saw how others let their colleagues die. No judgement here though, when you are not there, u dont know how you would react. You are truly HEROES!!!
Such selflessness, giving up your ambitions to save others while ascenders pass you by unwilling to even share oxygen never mind help. Your all to be commended....Bravo
Very happy to watch your videos. Thank you.
Thank goodness for the selflessness of the rescue climbers, well done guys!
your expedition managed 2 save 4 people hardly what I would call empty handed! God bless you.
