Easter – the resurrection of Jesus - is at the heart of the Christian faith. We celebrate it every Sunday: the foundation of the Gospel and the turning point of history. A peak of light and hope. In 1924, a British climber called George Mallory disappeared on the slopes of Mount Everest. He was chasing a dream that had consumed him for years. His frozen body was found in 1999, face down: it isn't known if he reached the summit or not. His son said: “The only way you conquer Everest is to come back alive. My father didn't come back”. Jesus didn't conquer a mountain: he conquered sin and death, our greatest enemies. In conversation with Nicodemus, Jesus used the picture of Moses's snake on a pole (to which the Israelites could look and live) to describe his coming crucifixion. Taking away the sin of the world, and drawing everyone to him. And then rising to declare forgiveness in the love of God. [John 3 vs 1-21]
In 1924, George Mallory and Sandy Irvine vanished on Everest. Did they reach the summit decades before Hillary? A boot, a body, and a missing camera may hold the answer. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
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.
When a climbing expedition discovered a century-old leather boot in 2024, they weren't just finding a piece of gear – they were unearthing a clue to mountaineering's greatest mystery. Join meteorologist Emily Gracey as she investigates how climate change is exposing Mount Everest's long-buried secrets, including remains from the legendary 1924 expedition of George Mallory and Andrew "Sandy" Irvine. Featuring glaciologist Duncan Quincy from the University of Leeds, this episode explores the ancient Khumbu Glacier's transformation and what these changes mean for both future climbers and the mountain itself. As Everest's ice continues to retreat, there's no telling what other secrets might emerge from its frozen depths – including a camera that could finally answer who reached the summit first!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The events of one the most famous Everest stories took place a century ago, when George Mallory and Sandy Irvine disappeared during the 1924 British Mount Everest expedition. A hundred years later, a group of writers is shedding light on the many different people and worlds that have, throughout history, had an important connection to the mountain. In sixteen different essays: Other Everests: One Mountain, Many Worlds tells stories from new perspectives—of people and things that have long been overlooked. Editors Jonathan Westaway and Peter Hansen joined the Alpinist Podcast to discuss why they embarked on this project. And Sarah Pickman, who wrote one of the pieces in the Other Everests collection, discussed what we can learn from what gear and equipment was brought along on expeditions. Support for this episode of the Alpinist Podcast comes from Patagonia. Following our conversation with the Other Everests contributors, you can listen to Patagonia Ambassador Colin Haley chat with host Abbey Collins about his passion for innovation and product development, and in particular his role in developing the new M10 Storm pants.

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.
Qui a vraiment atteint le premier l'Everest ? Est-ce bien sir Edmund Hillary, arrivé sur le toit du monde le 29 mai 1953 ? Ou plutôt les alpinistes George Mallory et Sandy Irvine, partis, en 1924, à l'assaut de la fameuse montagne ? Certes, le vainqueur officiel demeure bien le Britannique Hillary. Mais, depuis un siècle, on se demande si ses devanciers, qui ont été aperçus, pour la dernière fois, le 8 juin 1924, n'auraient pas fini par atteindre leur but. Certains indices montrent en tous cas qu'ils n'en étaient pas très loin. Ainsi, en 1999, l'alpiniste américain Conrad Anker a découvert, à plus de 8 200 mètres d'altitude, le corps momifié de George Mallory. La découverte d'une chaussure appartenant à Irvine Une autre découverte fait la une de l'actualité. Elle est le fait d'une équipe du National Geographic, qui vient de trouver, sous la face nord de l'Everest, une chaussure qui a aussitôt attiré l'attention des alpinistes. En effet, une chaussette y était insérée. En l'examinant, ils ont aperçu une étiquette encore visible, sur laquelle était inscrit "A.C. Irvine". Ce qui pourrait correspondre au nom de l'équipier de George Mallory. Il se prénommait en effet Andrew, "Sandy" n'étant qu'un surnom. Par ailleurs, les restes d'un pied humain ont été retrouvés dans la chaussure. Comme des membres de la famille d'Irvine ont proposé de fournir des échantillons d'ADN, il devrait être possible d'établir que ces ossements étaient bien ceux de Sandy Irvine. Mais cela ne prouverait pas pour autant que les deux alpinistes avaient bien atteint le sommet de l'Everest. Pour cela, il faudrait retrouver l'appareil photo emporté par Irvine. S'il s'était bien hissé sur le toit du monde, il avait certainement dû immortaliser cet exploit. D'autres objets ayant appartenu aux deux alpinistes ont bien été découverts, comme un piolet ou une bouteille d'oxygène, mais l'appareil photo demeure introuvable. Quoi qu'il en soit, de nombreux alpinistes sont persuadés que Mallory et Irvine sont bien parvenus au sommet de l'Everest et qu'ils auraient trouvé la mort au retour. Un jour prochain, une autre expédition en trouvera peut-être la preuve décisive. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.
En 1924, los exploradores Sandy Irvine y George Mallory intentaron llegar a la cima el Everest. Fueron vistos por última vez el 8 de junio de 1924. El cuerpo de Mallory fue encontrado en 1999 pero el de Irvine estaba desaparecido hasta ahora. Con este hallazgo la historia sobre quiénes fueron los primeros montañeros que alcanzaron la cima del Everest podría reescribirse. Nos lo cuentan Jacinto Antón y Óscar Gogorza, guía de alta montaña.desaparecidos.El cuerpo de Mallory fue encontrado en 1999,

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.)

Pe data de 8 iunie 1924 alpinistul britanic George Mallory și colegul său Andrew “Sandy” Irvine au dispărut în prima tentativă de cucerire al celui mai înalt munte al planetei, Everest, înalt de 8.848 de metri. După un secol misterul subzistă: au reușit cei doi pe vârf? Și ce a provocat dispariția lor?
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!

This week: Veep show: who will Trump pick for his running mate? Freddy Gray goes through the contenders – and what they say about America (and its most likely next president). ‘Another thought might be buzzing around Trump's head: he can pick pretty much whoever he wants because really it's all about him. He might even choose one of his children: Ivanka or Donald Junior. What could sound better than Trump-Trump 2024?' Freddy joins the podcast. (02:10) Next: Will and Lara take us through some of their favourite pieces from the magazine, including David Shipley's piece on the issues in the criminal justice system and Patrick Kidd's article on the C of E's volunteering crisis. Then: Everest. This year marks 100 years since George Mallory's doomed expedition. On the 8th June 1924 George Mallory and his climbing partner Sandy Irvine were seen through binoculars 800 ft from the summit of Mount Everest, but sadly were never seen again. Whether they did reach the top – almost 30 years prior to Edmund Hillary's confirmed summit – has been the source of debate and myth for a century. Two new books will be released this year revisiting the attempt, and the man behind them. One by former political editor at the Sun, Tom Newton Dunn (great nephew of Mallory) and the other by mountaineer Mick Conefrey – which is reviewed this week in The Spectator. Tom and Mick joined the podcast to discuss. (17:51) And finally: Next week marks the anniversary of the death of Spectator's Low Life columnist Jeremy Clarke. And on Tuesday a new collection of his columns is being published: Low Life: The Final Years. The book begins with his cancer diagnosis in 2013 and goes up until his last column, published two weeks before his death last year. Regular readers will know that Jeremy's genius was to capture the beauty and absurdity of the everyday – he chronicled it all with extraordinary frankness and brilliant wit. And so to remember Jeremy, and his peerless writing, we were joined by his widow, the artist Catriona Olding, who writes a guest Life column in this week's magazine, and his friend Con Coughlin, defence editor at the Telegraph.

Þetta er framhald næsta þáttar á undan og hér segir frá hinni dramatísku atburðarás þegar George Mallory og Andrew Irvine týndust á Mount Everest í byrjun júní 1924. Aldrei hefur orðið ljóst hvort þeir náðu á tindinn og urðu þar með fyrstir til að standa á hæsta stað jarðar. Hvarf þeirra dró mikinn dilk á eftir sér. Hér segir einnig frá þeirri örlagaríku stund þegar lík annars þeirra fannst 75 árum seinna. Hvaða sögu sagði líkið um þeirra hinstu ferð? Umsjón: Illugi Jökulsson.
There are over 200 dead bodies left on Mt. Everest. Today's episode is about why the bodies are not retrieved and the 10 most "famous" dead bodies on Mt. Everest. The 10 most "famous" dead bodies on Mt. Everest include George Mallory, Marco Siffredi, Green Boots, and Sleeping Beauty. I also talked about how the documentary "Finding Michael" gives us a better idea of why it is so hard to find, identify, and retrieve bodies from Mt. Everest. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pauline-reynolds-nuttall/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pauline-reynolds-nuttall/support

Í þessum þætti segir frá fyrstu tilraunum manna til klífa hæsta tind jarðar, Mount Everest í Himalaja-fjöllum. Fyrst er vikið að fjallinu sjálfu og heiti þess en síðan beinist athyglin að leiðangri sem Bretar skipulögðu upp á fjallið árið 1924 en frægasti þátttakandinn þá var George Mallory, helsti fjallagarpur Englendinga, en hann týndist á fjallinu ásamt ungum og efnilegum klifurmanni sem hét Andrew Irvine. Aldrei hefur orðið ljóst hvort þeir komust á efsta tindinn áður en fjallið varð þeim að bana. Umsjón: Illugi Jökulsson.
I added another book to the 1996 Everest disaster book list that I missed in the last episode. Today's episode is about the one book and two documentaries about Mt. Everest coming out in 2024. I also discuss what to expect for the overall 2024 season and hopefully, it will be uneventful. It's been 100 years since George Mallory and Andrew "Sandy" Irvine attempted and died on Everest in 1924. It's been 25 years since Conrad Anker and his team discovered George Mallory's body in 1999. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pauline-reynolds-nuttall/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pauline-reynolds-nuttall/support

When asked why risk it all to be the first person to climb Everest, George Mallory responded with a mysterious answer that speaks to so many explorers, adventurers, and mountaineers. “Because it is there.” There's something in many of us adventurers, that looks at the magnificent peak as a writer looks at the blank page. It is just beckoning to be explored, to bear witness to our striving and creativity. A blank canvas to hone our soul. Journeys too, illogical and unnecessary, kindle a flame in our heart; an ancient, mythical call to adventure. But why? Honestly, I'm unsure. I believe that if someone asks, they will never truly understand. Personally speaking, adventure provides me with the opportunity to slay my personal dragons, to tap into the attributes that lie in reserve, and to connect to something more real than reality itself. It's a psychedelic trip without the exogenous substance. In today's conversation with adventurer, author, and speaker, Charlie Walker, you learn the lessons from someone who has spent years on adventurers that do all of the aforementioned. You'll also discover: How not to lose your mind if you're locked up in a Russian prison on charges of espionage What personality traits Charlie wishes he could keep that vanish when he's home from adventures The ubiquitous character who found Charlie in every single corner of the world How to plan adventures that transform your soul

The human species is unique from other's on this planet in many ways. One specific way is we are the only species that choses to do challenging or dumb shit strictly to see if it can be done. Everest is no exception. The mentality, the training, the cost, the risk, all of the things required to even attempt to summit Everest make most not even consider it an option in their lives. How many days does it take to summit once you leave basecamp? How many people have died? How many people have actually made it? We're getting high as fuck both literally and educationally and tackling the tallest mountain on Earth.
Why climb Mount Everest? " Because it's there". The words of explorer George Mallory in New York in 1922. But was he the first person to reach the summit of Mount Everest, the highest mountain in the world, 29 years before Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay? Unique diaries from Mallory's mission, written by Irishman Richard Hingston, may just shed some new light on this question (2023) Narrated by Marc McMenamin.
