Every Search of Everest in the Search for Mallory & Irvine - Jake Norton

Note: in the video I mention the '1938' expedition. My bad: my brain said 1933, my mouth was not in synch and uttered 1938. Thus, I leave it to the experts like Jake to throw the dates around :)
- Cheers and thank you!
Everest Searches: 1999-2019 by JAKE NORTON:

This interview is a rare look into the greatest mystery in all of adventure, Did Mallory and Irvine make it to the summit of Everest in 1924? Jake himself has been on five search expeditions for Mallory and Irvine, and personally has more boots on the ground experience than any human being alive or otherwise in the search for clues to the mystery of their disappearance.
In 1999 Jake found the first clue DURING OUR HISTORIC EXPEDITION, an O2 bottle from the 1975 Chinese expedition, during which Wang Hung-bao found Mallory's remains. ON THAT SAME DAY, After an hour and 45 minutes, Conrad ANKER hopped on the radio, calling a mandatory team meeting. In a 2012 interview with outside Online, Jake said about the discovery, Conrad “was about 50 meters away from me, frantically waving his ice ax above his head. I walked over and happened by proximity to get there first, and there was Conrad, standing silently above the remains of a fallen hero: exactly as he appears in my photo from the cover of Outside. It was the most humbling experience of my climbing career, and one that will stay with me forever.”
