D'un côté, Inoxtag et les 42 millions de vues de Kaizen, le documentaire sur son ascension de l'Everest. De l'autre, Andrew Irvine, jeune alpiniste disparu sur les pentes de l'Himalaya en 1924. Entre les deux : un siècle, et une même ambition. Sauf que l'on ignore encore si Andrew Irvine et le premier junkie de l'Evevest, George Mallory, ont atteint le toît du monde. La découverte d'une chaussure réveille l'une des plus grandes énigmes de l'histoire de l'alpinisme. Avec Marie Parra de Sciences et Avenir, on a enfourché nos crampons pour rouvrir ce cold case en altitude. En avant, marche !
Who was the first person to make it to the top of Mount Everist? Many folks say George Mallory, and Andrew Irvine, might have made it 29 years before Sir Edmond Hillery and Tenzing Norgay made the summit. To add to the mystery, many folks are saying Chinese mountain climbers removed any and all evidence of the 1924 success. Heree is a weird story of obsession by both men and nations.

Hace algunos años, Juancho nos relató la fascinante historia de estos famosos escaladores. Hoy, retomamos este relato para comentar una nueva revelación que aporta un avance a la resolución de este enigma histórico.
L'émission 28 minutes du 18/09/2024 Ce vendredi, Renaud Dély décrypte l'actualité de la semaine en compagnie de nos clubistes : Maud Vergnol, codirectrice de la rédaction de "l'Humanité", Jean Quatremer, correspondant européen de "Libération", Géraldine Woessner, rédactrice en chef au "Point" et le dessinateur de presse Pascal Gros. Faut-il vraiment faire du Doliprane un psychodrame bleu-blanc-rouge ?Ce jeudi 17 octobre, un fonds d'investissement français a envoyé à Sanofi une nouvelle offre pour lui racheter sa filiale pharmaceutique Opella, productrice de Doliprane et vendeuse de plus de 453 millions de boîtes en 2023. Sanofi avait cependant annoncé la cession de sa filiale au fonds américain CD&R. Les syndicats CGT et CFDT ont appelé à une grève reconductible des salariés d'Opella, à partir du jeudi 17 octobre, pour s'opposer à cette décision. En France, Opella emploie plus de 1 700 salariés. Sanofi, qui "va rester actionnaire à 50 %", a promis des garanties en termes d'emplois et de production du Doliprane sur le sol français.Vers une nouvelle loi immigration plus dure en 2025 ?La porte-parole du gouvernement Maud Bregeon a annoncé, dimanche 13 octobre, la préparation d'un texte en 2025, visant à durcir la précédente loi sur l'immigration. Le ministre de l'Intérieur, Bruno Retailleau, souhaite réintroduire les mesures retoquées par le Conseil constitutionnel pour des motifs de forme. Parmi elles, la limitation du regroupement familial ou la fin de l'automaticité du droit du sol. La nouvelle loi pourrait également prévoir l'allongement de la durée de rétention en centre administratif de 90 jours à 210 pour les étrangers sous le coup d'une OQTF. Selon “L'Opinion", Bruno Retailleau négocie des accords de "sous-traitance", tout droit inspirés du nouveau modèle italien, avec des pays tels que le Rwanda, l'Irak, le Kazakhstan ou l'Égypte, pour y renvoyer des étrangers impossibles à expulser dans leur pays d'origine, mais sous le coup d'une OQTF en France. Nous recevons l'acteur et réalisateur français Stéphane Freiss qui incarne le professeur Keating dans l'adaptation sur scène du “Cercle des poètes disparus”, en ce moment au Théâtre Libre, à Paris, puis en tournée dans toute la France. Adaptée du film éponyme culte de Peter Weir sorti en 1989, la pièce a reçu cette année deux Molière dont celui de la meilleure mise en scène. Selon le comédien, le personnage de John Keating “nous renvoie évidemment au courage de beaucoup d'enseignants aujourd'hui qui se battent (parfois au prix de leur vie) pour aider leurs élèves à penser par eux-mêmes”.Après le dérapage des comptes publics, la commission des finances de l'Assemblée nationale a demandé à pouvoir investiguer sur les raisons de ce déficit inattendu. Son président, Éric Coquerel, qui avait déjà fait cette demande début octobre, souhaite demander des comptes à Bruno Le Maire, l'ex-ministre de l'Économie et des Finances. C'est le duel de la semaine de Frédéric Says.Emmanuel Macron a déclaré au magazine “Variety” qu'il souhaitait que la célèbre Emily, de la série “Emily in Paris”, reste dans la capitale française pour sa prochaine saison qui pourrait se dérouler à Rome. C'est le point com de Paola Puerari qui revient sur les conséquences que la série a eues sur l'image de la capitale à l'international. Le pied de l'alpiniste Andrew Irvine aurait été retrouvé sur l'Everest, un siècle après son ultime ascension. Une découverte qui pourrait résoudre l'énigme qui entoure le Britannique : est-il mort en montant ou en descendant le sommet ? S'il l'avait atteint, cela voudrait dire que le mont aurait été gravi pour la première fois en 1924 et non 1953. C'est l'histoire de la semaine de Claude Askolovitch.Enfin, ne manquez pas la Une internationale sur la mort du chef du Hamas, Yahya Sinouar, éliminé par l'armée israélienne, les photos de la semaine soigneusement sélectionnées par nos invités et la Dérive des continents de Benoît Forgeard ! 28 minutes est le magazine d'actualité d'ARTE, présenté par Élisabeth Quin du lundi au jeudi à 20h05.

On the 100th anniversary of George Mallory and Sandy Irvine's death on Mount Everest, I interviewed Dr. Robert Edwards, author of Mallory, Irvine, and Everest: The Last Step But One, which reexamined their mysterious story in extreme detail. Watch my original interview with Dr. Edwards, my most popular interview in 2024. It provides an excellent background for today's interview. Today, Dr. Edwards returns to the WanderLearn Show to discuss Jimmy Chin's surprising October 2024 announcement that he found Andrew Comyn Irvine's foot! Andrew Irvine's nickname was Sandy. Watch the Video Photo by National Geographic Image copyright: National Geographic National Geographic sponsored the expedition and announced the momentous news. The rest of Sandy's body has not been found yet. Sandy died 100 years ago. In 1960, Chinese climber Wang Fuzhou claimed he spotted a dead European climber who had to be Sandy Irvine. Assuming that sighting was accurate, nobody has seen Irvine since then ... until now. Famed mountaineer and photographer Jimmy Chin found Sandy's foot inside the 100-year-old boot. Robert Edwards wrote his initial impressions of Sandy's discovery on Goodreads. In this interview, we delve into greater detail, including the map Dr. Edwards made: In the podcast, I struggled to understand why Dr. Edwards thought Sandy's foot may have been found either in pin v1 or v2. After the interview, I reflected more carefully and realized that the Central Rongbuk Glacier is sliding west (right in the image). I initially assumed it was sliding north (down the image). Excerpt of Dr. Edwards's Goodreads post I can think of at least two scenarios which are consistent with the new discovery: • On June 8, 1924, Irvine fell from somewhere on the North Face of Everest to the head of the Central Rongbuk Glacier. If so, it seems to me that, given the topography of Mount Everest, the start of that fall had to be either within, or to the west of, the Norton Couloir. In that case, Irvine fell at least 500 meters to the west of where Mallory's body was found. • On June 8, 1924, Irvine became immobilised or died in the place where on May 24 or 25, 1960, the Chinese mountaineer Wang Fu-zhou would see the body of “a European in braces” [for North Americans: suspenders]. The Chinese route was along the Northeast Ridge. According to reports of a speech in Leningrad in 1965, Wang saw the body at 8,600 meters (28,215 feet): that is, between the Second Step and the Third Step. If so, the body could only be that of Irvine; and he had died on the descent. In this scenario, at some unknowable date after 1960, natural events carried Irvine's body down the mountain to the head of the glacier. In both scenarios, the implacable creep of the ice carried part of Irvine's remains to the place where Jimmy Chin found them in September 2024. The first scenario excludes the second: for if in 1924 Irvine fell to the glacier, Wang Fu-zhou in 1960 could not have seen a body of any kind at 8,600 meters. No doubt, other scenarios are conceivable. What next? Undoubtedly, the China-Tibet Mountaineering Association will conduct an expedition to find the rest of Irvine's body and any artifacts associated with it; or will permit National Geographic to undertake such an endeavour. The search could possibly be made before the winter; otherwise, the next window will probably be the spring of 2025. Irvine's body and artifacts will surely be found. The Chinese authorities also have the opportunity to examine Irvine's boot for rock particles, which might reveal where he had been before he died. (As far as I can determine, Mallory's boots were never tested in this way.) In either event, we may then know more about the last climb of Mallory and Irvine. Dr. Edwards added in an email to me: In case I didn't explain clearly the difference between the two pins in the Google Earth image: pin v1 is based on ice velocity of 10 meters/year; pin v2 is based on ice velocity of 27 meters/year (based on a range of Chinese estimates for the East Rongbuk Glaicier). In both cases, the pin assumes movement of the remains over 100 years, i.e. assuming that Irvine fell all the way to the glacier in 1924. So Pin v1 is 1,000 meters downstream; pin v2 is 2,700 meters downstream. If Irvine's remains fell after 1960 (which, given Wang's sighting, I'm inclined to think more probable), both pins would be much closer to the head of the glacier. Pin v1 would be at most 640 meters downstream; pin v2 would be at most 1,728 meters downstream. Both pins hug the western rim of the glacier, since I'm inclined to think that objects starting near the rim will remain near the rim. (A glaciologist would know.)

Wow. If you want the most comprehensive study of George Mallory's 3rd and final climb up Mt. Everest, read this book! The book Mallory, Irvine, and Everest: The Last Step But One by Dr. Robert Edwards examines the mystery surrounding George Mallory and Andrew Irvine's 1924 attempt to reach the summit of Mount Everest. The book provides a fresh and original perspective on this historical event, as the author is a mathematician who has applied modern analysis techniques to the available evidence. Dr. Edwards has thoroughly researched the contemporary accounts, letters, and artifacts related to the climb and has identified inconsistencies in previous narratives. The book's release coincides with the 100th anniversary of Mallory and Irvine's fateful expedition and offers unique insights. Mountaineering experts Jochen Hemmleb and Thom Dharma Pollard have praised its potential to shed new light on whether Mallory and Irvine were the first to conquer Everest. This unique perspective is sure to enlighten the audience. Mallory picked a strong, young, inexperienced climbing partner, Andrew Irvine, to push to the summit. Video interview with the author, Robert Edwards SPOILER #1: Nobody knows if either one of them made it. And this book doesn't offer a definitive answer either. However, this book will enthrall you if you want to learn what the most meticulous researcher has discovered. For example, Edwards spends pages examining everything about the mysterious ice ax found high on the mountain. SPOILER #2: The ax is almost certainly Irvine's or Malory's, but we don't know which one. The author concludes that it was placed there and didn't tumble or drop there accidentally. What I love about this book is that Edwards lets the evidence speak. Although he speculates, he admits when he's speculating to let the reader reach their conclusion. After reading this excellent book and interviewing the author, here's my best guess as to what happened: Mallory probably reached the summit late in the afternoon, forcing him to descend at night. When investigators found his corpse in 1999, Mallory's sunglasses were in his pocket, indicating he descended at night. He ran out of oxygen, which sapped his strength and heat just when he needed to stay warm at nightfall. He had few clothes compared to modern climbers. Without oxygen, he got disoriented and wobbly. His judgment worsened. One slip was all it took to break his leg and slide down to his resting spot, where he was found decades later. This hypothesis is my speculation, not the book's. Get the book, and judge for yourself. WARNING: This book may bore people with only a passing interest in this topic. VERDICT: 5 out of 5 stars!

Il mistero più noto della storia dell'alpinismo nasce l'8 giugno del 1924, quando due inglesi, George Mallory e Andrew Irvine, partono dal loro ultimo campo verso la cima dell'Everest e scompaiono. Settantacinque anni dopo, nel 1999, il corpo di Mallory viene ritrovato. È stato ucciso da una caduta, la corda è spezzata, ma di Irvine non c'è traccia, ed è impossibile capire se i due abbiano raggiunto gli 8848 metri della vetta. Con l'aiuto di Nives Meroi, che ha salito tutti i 14 “ottomila” della Terra, ci interroghiamo su quei due uomini coraggiosi, e raccontiamo la scoperta dell'Everest, il “Terzo Polo”.Il mistero dell'Everest - Episodio 1
In this episode, we are joined in the studio by one of the most interesting operators in the industry, Simon Hawkesley. An explorer, mountaineer, adventurer...and when he's not scaling mountains he brings an approach to estate agency unlike almost any other in the industry. Whilst his approach is carefully curated for his market, and is built upon his years of experience in the premium and prime markets, there is a huge amount to be learned from him by anyone in the industry. The principles of limiting the supply of service to charge higher fees, to deliver an outstanding personal service, to become a trusted advisor to his clients, to collaborating with others in the industry, to thinking differently. Simon is a truly unique individual, a friend of David, one of the hosts of the Podcast, and we are delighted he accepted our invitation to join us on Property-Porn Stars to share his wisdom and his knowledge with you. We absolutely guarentee you will finish this episode thinking very, very differently about your business. Plus, a bonus history lesson on the Mt Everest attempt by George Mallory and Andrew Irvine...We hope you enjoy!
You've probably never heard of the British Mountaineer Andrew Irvine, but who hasn't heard of Mount Everest? Over 300 people have perished attempting to reach its summit. Irvine was George Mallory's climbing companion in 1924 for their historic ascent. Some would say Andrew Irvine peaked at 22, but did he?...

This week Beau and Carl chat about the various attempts over the years to climb Mount Everest. From George Mallory and Andrew Irvine's first attempts in the 1920's, to Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay's ultimately successful expedition in 1953, as well as other famous tales from the mountain and what the experience is like in the present day.
La storia dell'Everest parte da lontano.Nel 1921 ha inizio la prima spedizione britannica.L'obiettivo è la perlustrazione dell'Himalaya, alle pendici della montagna più alta del mondo.George Leigh Mallory è un debuttante in questi territori; eppure anche grazie al suo contributo venne scoperto il Colle Nord, una possibile via d'accesso alla vetta.Nel 1921 l'Everest non si concesse e nemmeno nel 1922, quando gli inglesi ci riprovarono.Nel 1924, George Leigh Mallory e Andrew Irvine piantarono e trascorsero la notte a campo VI - 8.170 metri.Vennero visti partire, poi le nuvole li coprirono. Per sempre.Mallory venne ritrovato 75 anni dopo, mentre di Irvine non vi fu traccia.Venne chiesto a Mallory perché si ostinasse a scalare l'Everest, dedicandoci la vita ancor prima di perderla. La risposta fu tanto semplice quanto non scontata: “ Perché`è li`” Contatto mail: andataeritorno.podcast@gmail.comMusic by Epidemic Sound
29 years before Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay summited Everest, George Mallory and Andrew Irvine attempted the same. They made one last attempt but tragedy struck and they never made it back down the mountain - for many years neither of their bodies were found and when one was, it only provided more questions than answers. Did they make it?
The question I'm asked most about the discovery of George Mallory is WHAT WAS IT LIKE TO LOOK INTO HIS FACE? DID YOU TAKE A PHOTO? Amazing right, can you imagine that I'm the only living person to have looked into the face of British mountaineering icon George Mallory? It's a responsibility I don't take lightly…..BUT FIRST…if you want the inside scoop on all things about the Mystery of Mallory and Irvine and Mount Everest, be sure to SUBSCRIBE, CLICK LIKE AND COMMENT.And, for my members…at .99 per month….I upload photos and information and engage in conversations only for them, members only kind of stuff.After the discovery of George Leigh Mallory at nearly 27,000 feet or 8,200 meters on the north face of Mount Everest on May 1, 1999, the five searchers who reached the body that day covered him up as best as they could. (I was the sixth searcher, but turned back because of faulty 02 apparatus.) Our climbing team descended back down to base camp for an extended rest…and, a HUGE Base Camp party….. During that time the discovery has gone out to the world. Mountainzone released a photo taken by Dave Hahn of Mallory's exposed back and tattered clothes….the story is on the cover of The New York Times within a week, Conrad Anker's picture is right next to George Mallory's photograph, with the map on Everest in a spread in the New York Times.Six of us went back up to Camp 5 on May 12th to be in position for a search and summit bid, with the idea that TWO OF US would launch a search for Sandy Irvine while four would go tackle the Second Step and the summit. However, because of snow cover from the weather, the call was made that instead of a search for Andrew Irvine there would be a return to the site of George Mallory - with a metal detector. At Camp 5, at about 26,000 feet, or 7,925 meters, we were slammed by a terrific three day long Himalayam storm…it was impossible to even stand up outside of the tents.May 16th dawned blue and calm….and so up we went….In this segment I ask Andy Politz about his experience on 16 May 1999, where we went together to the site of George Mallory.

A Katmandou, le reporter japonais Fukamachi croit reconnaître Habu Jôji, cet alpiniste que l'on pensait disparu depuis des années. Il semble tenir entre ses mains un appareil photo qui pourrait changer l'histoire de l'alpinisme. Et si George Mallory et Andrew Irvine étaient les premiers hommes à avoir atteint le sommet de l'Everest, le 8 juin 1924 ? Seul le petit Kodak Vest Pocket avec lequel ils devaient se photographier sur le toit du monde pourrait livrer la vérité. 70 ans plus tard, pour tenter de résoudre ce mystère, Fukamachi se lance sur les traces de Habu. Il découvre un monde de passionnés assoiffés de conquêtes impossibles et décide de l'accompagner jusqu'au voyage ultime vers le sommet des dieux.Nous avions raté LE SOMMET DES DIEUX au moment de sa sortie en salles en septembre dernier, mais l'actualité cinématographique plutôt pauvre de cette semaine nous permet ainsi de rattraper le film d'animation très singulier de Patrick Imbert (LE GRAND MÉCHANT RENARD), qui adapte ici une oeuvre de Jiro Taniguchi.

You've probably never heard of the British Mountaineer Andrew Irvine, but who hasn't heard of Mount Everest? Over 300 people have perished attempting to reach its summit. Irvine was George Mallory's climbing companion in 1924 for their historic ascent. Some would say Andrew Irvine peaked at 22, but did he?...

Hi there friends! This week, Komal's tells the bizzaro story of the Disappearance of Bryce Laspisa: a college student with a GPS that clearly does not work. Right about now you may be asking yourself, was he using Apple Maps? What other explanation could there be? WOW, how convenient that you are reading the description to an episode that discusses that very thing!!!! Kelsey, meanwhile, takes us to Mount Everest, her favorite geological feature in the "United States" where she tells the story of the Disappearance of Andrew Irvine and George Mallory: two climbers who quite literally vanished into thin air....like very thin air. Maybe after this episode we should name this podcast MysterPEAKdia. I know what you're thinking: Geez Komal, these puns are amazing, don't you Everest? The answer is no; I wouldn't want to disappoint my fans. :') Grab a blanket, a functional GPS and head on down to crazy town! See ya in creep city!
En 1924, dos alpinistas británicos se propusieron ser los primeros en conquistar el monte Everest. Pero nunca regresaron a su campamento y hasta el día de hoy nadie sabe si llegaron a la cima.Era el 8 de junio cuando George Mallory y su compañero alpinista hicieron la última ronda de los dados que jugaban para partir del campamento poco antes del amanecer. A las 12:50 del día, su alpinista de apoyo salió detrás de ellos y después de avanzar unos 8,000 metros describió que los vio desaparecer a lo lejos. Esa fue la última vez que alguien vio a George Mallory y Andrew Irvine. Su desaparición había sido catalogada como el misterio sin resolver más grande del siglo 20.

Welcome back to The Writing Apothecary podcast and our next guest on the podcast. I am really excited for you guys to meet him. Andrew and I met in uni while we were studying psychology and since then we have had a healthy back and forth competitive friendship built on chasing each other's word counts. In this interview Andy and I talk about all things setting and the importance of how integral setting is to the story. We also cover a different kind of setting, a societal setting that is something that most fantasy authors come across. It's that one piece of law that makes the story different to the real world.I hope you guys come along for the journey that is the chat about the setting, where we take the long and windy route through the questions. There are also plenty of outtakes to come because we couldn't stop laughing and joking all the way through. About Andrew: Andrew Irvine is a fantasy author who currently lives in Adelaide where he writes part time and works full time.

We all know that Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary were the first so summit Mount Everest... Or were they? In 1924, thirty years earlier George Mallory and Andrew Irvine were seen close to the summit before disappearing, leading to one of the greatest mysteries of the 20th Century. But then, in 1999 - 75 years are the disappearance, some climbers found something BIG!Get tickets to our live shows this March/April:Prime Mates: https://www.trybooking.com/BPEUIBook Cheat: https://www.trybooking.com/BPEUEMatt Stewart - Nostalgia Was Better When I Was A Boy (discount code 'dogoon): https://www.comedyfestival.com.au/2021/shows/nostalgia-was-better-when-i-was-a-boyDo Go On: https://www.trybooking.com/BOMAA Support the show and get rewards like bonus episodes: patreon.com/DoGoOnPodMatt’s New Interview Show: ‘Matt Your Heroes’: https://youtu.be/VVsVGkzVNZQBuy tickets to our streamed shows (there are 12 available to watch now!

It would be hard to get an accurate count of the number of lives that Dr. Geoff Tabin has either saved or improved, often by his own hands. The figure is in the thousands because he and Dr. Sanduk Ruit are co-founders of the Himalayan Cataract Project. As its website name, cureblindness.org suggests, the project provides high-quality eye care in some of the most remote or under-served parts of the world. And, as Geoff Tabin, Professor of Ophthalmology and Global Medicine at Stanford, will happily tell you, this project, his life’s work, never would have happened had it not been for some serious serendipity. Key Takeaways: [:23] Ray Hoffman introduces Dr. Geoff Tabin, Co-Founder of the Himalayan Cataract Project. [1:05] In the poorest countries, 85% of blindness is preventable or treatable. Of all cases of blindness, 50% are from treatable cataracts. [1:52] Dr. Tabin was specifically inspired by a Dutch ophthalmologist running a humanitarian program called Eye Care Foundation Himalaya doing lens implants in Nepal. These implants altered lives and the welfare of families. [2:34] Dr. Tabin talks about his educational path and what inspired him at Yale and Oxford, England. On a mountain-climbing scholarship named for Andrew Irvine, he went to Asia and Africa to climb. He observed first-hand the disparity between the haves and the have-nots, regarding medical care. [4:24] Dr. Tabin matriculated at Harvard Medical School with the intent of working in global medicine to bridge the gap in care between the wealthy countries and the poor countries. [4:47] In 1988, Dr. Tabin climbed Mt. Everest while he was working as a general doctor in Nepal. He was searching for a way that an individual doctor could make a difference. He saw the Dutch ophthalmologist team set up and give new hope to cataract patients. He was amazed by how the surgery could change lives. [5:45] Dr. Tabin immediately found an ophthalmology residency at Brown University in the States and came back to enter the residency. [6:21] At the same time, Dr. Tabin’s future partner, Dr. Sanduk Ruit, was finishing his training in Australia. Dr. Ruik came from a small village in Nepal with no running water, electricity, or schools, a three-days’ walk from the road. After a house fire, his parents had taken him to a monastery in Nepal where the monks saw he needed an education. [7:03] As a child, Dr. Ruik’s father walked him 11 days to Darjeeling, India to an English Jesuit school. Dr. Ruik only spoke his native language. He emerged from the education with a full scholarship to one of the best medical schools in India. He got top boards. He trained as an ophthalmologist in Delhi and did a cataract fellowship also in India. [7:42] Dr. Ruit returned to Nepal and caught the attention of the same Dutch ophthalmology group Dr. Tabin had seen. Dr. Ruit went to the Netherlands for training in microsurgery and to Australia for a two-year fellowship. He came back to Nepal as a world-class ophthalmologist, looking to bring high-quality eye care to Kathmandu. [9:20] Dr. Tabin spent a couple of weeks during his fellowship working with Dr. Ruit. He told Dr. Ruit he wanted to work with him. When he finished his fellowship, he moved to Nepal to work with Dr. Ruit. [9:36] This project wouldn’t have come to pass if not for Dr. Tabin’s passion for mountain climbing, and a lot of help from great mentors. Dr. Tabin explores the serendipity involved. [11:03] Dr. Tabin learned hiking from his father, a nuclear physicist who worked with Enrico Fermi on the Manhattan Project. Dr. Tabin tells how his father hiked with Enrico Fermi and later, with him when he was a teen. Dr. Tabin started studying as a teen about the great mountaineers and explorers. [12:14] In Dr. Tabin’s later teen years, he focused on tennis and was recruited to play tennis at Yale. At Yale, he started rock climbing with a friend. [12:56] Dr. Tabin tells how he and Dr. Ruit co-founded the Himalayan Cataract Project. It started with transferring skills to doctors, ophthalmic nurses, ophthalmic technicians, and ophthalmic assistants. They taught primary health care workers a basic understanding of eye diseases. They created a teaching system. [13:39] Dr. Tabin and Dr. Ruit took the best cataract surgeons and sent them to specialty surgical fellowships for pediatric ophthalmology, glaucoma, retinal surgery; all the sub-specialties. Once they had the full range of specialties, they had a world-class residency program. [14:07] They were not getting funding from the U.S., so they turned to other countries, but they were also skeptical. To gain credibility, Dr. Tabin took an assistant professorship at the University of Vermont. The doctors decided to incorporate as a 501(c), named the Himalayan Cataract Project, with a website cureblindness.org. [15:32] They started raising funds to support the work. After two years, they hired their first full-time employee. They started in Nepal, then brought Bhutanese doctors into the program, then doctors from Tibet, then Indonesia. [16:42] In 2006, Dr. Tabin took a professorship at the University of Utah. By that time, the surgeons in the program were better than Dr. Tabin, so he was confident for them to continue without his presence. One of the doctors in the cataract project, Dr. Alan Crandall, went to Ghana and was one of the highest-volume cataract surgeons there. [17:26] Dr. Tabin started going on missions to Ghana with Dr. Crandall to see about extending the program to meet the need in Africa. [17:41] In FY 2014, the organization had $8 million in assets and did 78,000 sight-restoring surgeries. In FY 2016, they did 97,000 surgeries and treated over one million patients. In FY 2018, they performed 123,000 surgeries with assets of $12 million. Besides these procedures, their focus is on training local providers to perform the same procedures. [18:58] In 1996, when they started with $100,000, Dr. Tabin never expected to grow into the success they have had to this day. In that period, Nepal went from 0.88% blindness down to 0.2% blindness, today. Nepal is the one poor country that has reversed its rate of blindness. [20:43] Dr. Ruit instilled in Dr. Tabin that they were looking for the next young superstars. In 2007–08, Dr. Tabin started the first global ophthalmology fellowship in American academic ophthalmology. Now there are eight universities that have a global ophthalmology fellowship, following Dr. Tabin’s example. [21:20] Dr. Tabin is proud of his former fellows who, as early career ophthalmologists, are pushing ophthalmology forward in Asia and Africa. [21:56] Dr. Tabin reflects on the expansion and success of the program and discusses potential future expansion in Africa. It is estimated that it would take $100 million to completely reverse blindness in Ethiopia and Ghana. Similar changes need to be made in other African countries. Dr. Tabin names some amazing doctors from the program. [23:58] Based on the progress of the program, Dr. Tabin sees a realistic goal of turning the tide on needless blindness. The program has brought the material cost of a cataract surgery down to under $25. 12 million people could have their life completely changed from a $25 surgery. [24:42] Dr. Tabin hopes that Melissa Chen or Mark Zuckerberg will listen to this podcast and be inspired to donate to CureBlindness.org. Blindness is a low-hanging fruit to cure, as diseases go. Dr. Tabin tells about his role as a fundraiser. He speaks about donors. [25:43] Three years ago, Dr. Tabin went from the University of Utah to take an endowed chair for ophthalmology and global medicine at Stanford University. In Silicon Valley, Dr. Tabin has exposure to a lot of people who could potentially make a huge impact on global blindness. [26:33] Over the last few years, fundraising has been extremely successful. They always spend less than they secure. They have had USAID grants for big capital projects. Dr. Tabin wants it to be a $30 million charity to fully address blindness in Ethiopia and Ghana. Funding is half from grants and half from private philanthropy. [27:48] Studies have shown that restoring sight gives a direct impact of four-to-one to the local economy. Dr. Tabin would like to see more direct investments from governments and global funds like the World Health Organization. [28:29] 88% of their funds go directly into programs. Will that efficiency continue while scaling up? Dr. Tabin explains how it can. Dr. Tabin doesn’t want to spend a lot of money on fundraising. [30:17] Dr. Tabin talks of the 5,000 cataract surgeries they have done recently in Ethiopia. They are reaching out to Eritrea and are taking Eritrean doctors into their Ethiopia training program. [32:17] In 2019, Dr. Tabin traveled to Ethiopia, South Sudan, Bhutan (where they just opened a new state-of-the-art eye hospital), and Nepal, while working about six months at Stanford and six months between Asia and Africa. [32:55] Dr. Tabin hopes people in America realize we are all one world and one human race. It does matter what happens in Africa and Asia. Once someone has the cataract surgery, they are no longer “a statistic” but a person cured 100%. [33:58] In six years, the organization will be 30 years old. Dr. Tabin hopes that in six years, Ethiopia and Ghana will have followed Nepal and Bhutan in reversing their backlog of blindness and sustaining high-quality care for all their people, and the programs will be expanded into other African countries in great need. [34:41] Dr. Tabin also wants to be closer in six years, in connection with other organizations, to reversing blindness for the two greatest populations, China and India. [35:39] Dr. Tabin acknowledges he was in the right places at the right times with some incredible mentors. [36:15] Ray Hoffman provides the website name, CureBlindness.org and signs off.

Brian talks to Andrew Irvine who works in Belfast city centre. Andrew tells his story, and discusses his rethinking the concept of chaplaincy and how that might look in contemporary life.
Zwei Geschichten, zwei hartnäckige Menschen. Jochen Hemmleb lässt nicht locker: Waren George Mallory und Andrew Irvine 1924 die Ersten auf dem Gipfel des Mount Everest? Das Rätsel wird zur Lebensaufgabe. Gerhard Trabert will Gerechtigkeit. Für Menschen, die aus dem System gefallen sind und keine medizinische Hilfe bekommen.

The first two people to officially climb Mount Everest were Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay but there are some reports that say it isn't so. In 1924 there was an expedition and two members of the party, George Mallory and Andrew Irvine, could have reached the top. So who really did it? According to Matt it wasn't him because that would be an achievement.
“Enlightenment isn't found on a full stomach, or on a soft pillow.”Conrad AnkerImagine bivouacking in a portaledge — you and two other guys crammed into a small mountaineering tent pitched vertically and dangling on the side of a sheer Himalayan cliff 19,000 feet above solid ground with nothing but nothing below you. Then imagine staying put for 12 days straight to weather a ferocious storm, torrential winds and temperatures that dip into twenty below territory.That’s just one harrowing peek into the life of today’s guest, Conrad Anker – a man widely considered to be the most accomplished high altitude climber in the world and one of the most respected adventure athletes of all time.The team leader of The North Face climbing team as well as the subject of not one but several Outside Magazine cover profiles, Conrad is renown for specializing in not just the highest mountains but the most technically challenging ascents — conquering the trickiest peaks spread across the high Himalaya, Antarctica, Alaska and the big walls of Patagonia.Conrad has summited Everest 3 times, including a successful 2012 ascent without the aid of supplemental oxygen — a feat reserved for only the most elite mountaineers. In a 1999 Everest expedition, Conrad famously located the remains of George Mallory– the legendary British climber who disappeared in the midst of his historic 1924 attempt to be the first to summit the world's highest peak. Last seen about 800 vertical feet from the summit, speculation as to whether Mallory and his climbing partner Andrew Irvine had reached the summit before dying has been a subject of much dispute. But Conrad's discovery shed much light on the mystery of this and other pioneering climbs of early expeditions.On a personal level, in 1999 Conrad survived an avalanche in Tibet — a massive wall of snow and ice that tossed his body 100 feet, beat him up badly and took the life of his best friend and climbing companion Alex Lowe. Conrad would later marry Alex's widow Jennifer and raise his three sons, Max, Sam and Isaac.A few years ago I had the good fortune of meeting Conrad, including the privilege of hearing him share the story of his internationally celebrated 2011 attempt to summit a peak previously thought impossible – the Shark's Fin of Meru. Considered the most technically complicated and dangerous peak in the Himalayas, it's an astonishing tale.Now this expedition is the subject of a new documentary aptly named Meru, feted with the prestigious Audience Award at last winter's Sundance Film Festival. I had an opportunity to see the film and I can say first hand that it is extraordinary. Visceral. Harrowing. And terrifying as much as it is inspiring. “A meditation on life, death and everything in between” according to Newsweek, the film works as a true character study, winning mainstream hearts previously unfamiliar with the world of climbing. A redemptive deep look into the lives and complicated pasts of Conrad and his talented climbing teammates Jimmy Chin and Renan Ozturk (both responsible for not only scaling the peak but also capturing the entire experience on film), See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
