This is the video which gave me this dream and obsession of climbing Everest from North. It took 9 years after seeing this video but on 23rd May 2019 I finally made it happen. I always come back to this video to relive a lot memories

Great brief shots of the incredible Vista. Especially on the descent. The shot after the summit as you're going down into the top of the clouds is surreal.
From camp 4 we climbed the exit chimney along the fix rope to mushrom rock after that you are on the ridge so there is no other way. we reached the second step at day break. got the sun at the top of the second step
Quite simply, one of the Very Best Everest Videos on TH-cam. Legitimately Amazing. I would LOVE to watch every step from Camp 4 to the Rooftop of the Planet! CONGRATS ON YOUR ACHIEVEMENT SIR!! GODSPEED!!
It would have been an absolute miracle if Mallory and Irvine had got to the top. We'll never know, but I doubt it, given how tough it is even with modern equipment and support. Brave of them to even have attempted it, although of course both lost their lives in the attempt, and are still on the mountain. RIP❤
lack of oxygen kept the Swiss from being the 1st in the 50's. The British team before Hillary in 1953 also had to stop just short of the summit due to a malfunction of the oxygen tanks. Mallory had even more primitive unit in 1924, very doubtful he made the summit.
@Peyresourde . we climbed during the night following the only obvious route, up the chimney to the north -noth east ridge then onto mushroom rock , continuing to the first and second step. fix ropes help finding your way along the technical, complex section. it was great climbing in the dark with no one around us.
Ladders? Guess it wasn't quite the same experience as those who climbed to put the ladder there. I imagine that would be the Sherpas, who received last billing.
Always a great job to climb the north route. Question: Would it be easier to climb the second step without a ladder being there or to go below it and around it--which Mallory may have attempted, if he got that far.
Maybe possible. Messner did it but at the time I don't know and depend how much snow there is on the route ? lots of snow may have help to go around ?? it will remain a question.
Mallory was sighted just below the summit. I think he and Sandy made the summit. But unfortunately we will never know unless someone finds their camera.
Thanks for that breathtaking piece of film work. You must have felt fortunate that the wind wasn't too bad at the summit. Can you see the pinnacles there at 0:53 ?
Truly a phenomenal feat, many respects to you and your team. I am very curious as to how it felt taking on the first steps that so many have come up revere.
Thanks for posting this. I keep looking for good footage of the first, second and third step. Is there a ladder on the first step as well?. Also is the third step very steep and exposed as the first two?. I imagine it's hard to show a lot of footage due to the bodies that may be captured on film. Also never seen any footage of rainbow valley. Glad you had a safe climb. I wish I could go up.
That is the first part of the second step called the corkscrew chimney, at the top of it is a little snow patch where Odell claimed he saw them. Above the snow patch is the headwall. There's a good descriptive picture of it on Jake Nortons website, an article called The Last Step But One.
@@WellyCoasterNo. They were spotted at the snow patch below what we call today the third step. Check out the videos by Michael Tracey. He has pretty convincing arguments about the whole Mallory and Irvine climb.
@@geegaw14 Thanks. I've seen his videos and there's parts that contradict the source accounts. I prefer to do my own research as some try to create their own narrative. In 1924 the third step wasn't recognised as a step and was part of the final pyramid itself, not a short distance from the base. Had they climbed the third step they would have reached the triangle snowfield. In Odell's first account to The Times sent in the dispatch on June 14 1924 the altitude recorded by Odell and Hazard by theodolite was sent in the same dispatch and was the altitude of the second step. On June 15th 1924 Howard Somervell in his diary wrote Odell's sighting as the altitude of the second step with a matching description of the second step, not the third.
I want to know about the ladders in step 1, 2 and 3. Each expeditions carry his own ladders? or they are fixed for ever and every expedition can use it?
the ladder that was put up by the Chinese in the 70s, is it bolted to the rockface or tied every year? and what is the condition of the ladder after 40 years? cheers
@jean very beautiful vid. You started at 10.30 PM - how do you find the way from base 4 to first and second step in the darkness. When do you reach second step? Thanks
Thank you for sharing. Since you're a professional guide, I have a question if you don't mind. I'm a fit 58yr old. I have not done any ropes climbing or rock climbing. Just scrambling. I do have an extreme side, and that is trail creation and route making through pure wilderness. Been building trails and discovering places humans haven't been to for years and love all that it's very addicting. Maybe too addicting to pay attention to a goal of mine since age 11, and that is to climb Everest. Do you think it's maybe too late to start climbing beyond the scrambling level so that one day I can tackle Everest? To be completely honest, I know my abilities and I don't think I'm able to because it takes years to develop these skills and then I'd be in mid 60's probably not a good idea, right? Would love someone's advice who's actually been there and also acted as a guide supporting someone of less skills.
everything is possible but you must think about the preparation, anticipation, skills to be learn , experience to gain. before attempting Everest climb as many peaks as possible increasing the altitude. like popocatepel, aconcacagua, Denali , Cho you. yes it is going to take time but safety first. good luck!!
I will say at least 10 years from my perspective. my recommendation would be to set an easier objective that will give you experience, enjoyment. and see from there. all the best. jean@@jungleperry
Did You follow the route supposely followed by Mallory and Irvine in 1924? How difficult is Second Step? Some researchers believe that Irvine and Mallory coud have climbed Second Step in1924 and, having overtakn the most formidable obstacle, their way as far as the apex was clear
Yes, we followed same route as Mallory and Irvine, I think ? as we don't know exactly which route they follow. the second step is hard, especially now with little snow. maybe when Mallory and Irwin climbed it, the snow fill in the chimney ? so many questions and no clear answer about it.
@@anisocoro Mallory didn't take the second step, he took the Norton route through the gully. He wrote it, he told Norton. He knew about that second step being impossible at that alltude. He was below the Ridge going through the yellow band
@@Bella.216 Hi Josie, I used to presume Mallory went through the Norton Couloir too but now have serious doubts. Irvines Ice axe recovered in 1933 and the oxygen bottle found in 91/99 were high near the ridgeline with the bottle not to far from the first step which puts them in line with the ridge route. Nortons traverse route was further down going diagonally through the yellow band and described by Norton in Fight for Everest as "easy going". If Mallory took the couloir route it makes sense following the easy direct route Norton and Somerville gave him (why change something proven). Makes me wonder why they went up to the ridge unless they wanted to see if there was a way through the second step like they tried in 1933. Curious where there's a source that he told Norton he was taking the gully/couloir? Thanks.
@@WellyCoaster I have watched so many videos about Mallory and Irvine. Hoping some day they find their camera and the film is still good. I believe they made the summit. Last picture of them they weren't far from the summit.
12 hours from Camp 4 to the Summit sounds correct. They generally leave around midnight to arrive at the Summit before 2pm, which is their head back down time so they reach Camp 4 before dark.
+SanFranciscoBay From the high camp on the north side, the normal time to reach summit is 5-7 hours depending on traffic. When I climbed this year, the turnaround time set by our team leader was 9 hours. 12 seems extremely long.
Li-Lan Cheng What time did you leave for the Summit, how many hours did it take you and did you reach the summit? If you collapsed, could anyone have helped you down or is it almost impossible for the people in your group to rescue a semi conscious climber?
Our team started summit push between 12:30 and 1:00am and reached the summit between 7-8am. We had 1-to-1 guides and also extra guides not assigned to any individual climbers. In addition, there were 7 guides on standby at the high camp. Three years ago, they rescued someone who collapsed at 8500m. Fortunately this year, no one needed that.
Very nice. Do you remember the time from Camp 4...to the second step. Then to the summit from there? How about your decent...did you go all the way down? thanks
If you are a paid guide to assist a less experienced climber, and that climber collapses as many climbers do near the summit of Everest, would you try to drag your client down, and due to the difficulty and slow descent end up spending the night with your client near the location where they collapse, or would you leave them to get back to Camp 4 so you will survive? Do guides makes promises like that to their clients?
From what I have seen in documentaries, it simply depends! Sometimes a rescue effort is made, others it is not... It is sometimes clear that truly no rescue is possible and would only create more casualties, and other times it is debatable. Hard to say! Perhaps a real guide could chime in here.
It also depends on the company you go with, and the Sherpa guides. If you run out of oxygen because you are slow and was told to turn around and you ignore then you are on your own. Always make sure you are with a very experienced company. Also never try to cut cost, it's expensive for a reason. So doing all the right things yes you will be helped. Unless though you have issues with hape or hace. But north side doesn't have hellacopter rescue so you need to be able to walk
green boot cave is that the british man who went up alone got in trouble got shelter in the cave other people seen him he was still alive but couldnt move
8 years later: the briton, david sharp died right next to "green boots" an Indian police officer who died in 1996. David sharp died in 2006 sitting frozen right next to "green boots". Oddly they removed David's body the next year but left "green boots" for at least another decade.
i am curious, who pays to set the ladders up? i understand numerous companies offer guides etc on everest, but who is paying for this infrastructure. if one company is paying for it all to be done it doesn't seem fair that anyone can use the ladders/ropes etc.
numberoneJATT Actually the placement and replacement of the ladder were placed there not for monetary gain but as mark of respect for those whom died in the attempted ascent so that others wouldn't face the same danger. In essence a courtesy
Chinese placed the first ladder. There's only one on this route. Placing fixed ropes is not who's buying them and nobody else is allowed to use the ropes. Whomever is the team to go up for the season places new ropes. This other comment is right about the ladder.
Unclimbable without the ladder. And at that altitude & ferociously steep drops, no thanks😂🗻☄🇬🇧🦅Conrad Anker actually climbed the second step...but put his foot on the ladder to steady himself. A brave man regardless👍🥂🐶🗻✔💯
So, I’m not a mountaineer. I’ve never done the mountain climbing thing with gear and supplies. I have hiked mountain trails in the Colorado Rockies. I don’t understand the sport of claiming you have reached the summit of Mt. Everest if you used modern aluminum ladders to achieve it. It just hits me as not being much of a sport. I realize the elevation is above 28k feet and there’s very little oxygen. If you have to use bottled oxygen and aluminum ladders you’ve brought with you, is it that much of a stretch to just fly to the top in a helicopter with supplementary oxygen supplies or parachute down from above with supplementary oxygen? I just don’t see the sport in it. I think it’s just a place we shouldn’t try to go. Period. Sorry.
Seems you can't go anywhere any more without coming across someone else's rubbish. Even the North-East ridge of Everest is littered with ropes and climbing irons. And that bloody music! The whole point of going to the mountain is to get away from it all.
I heard Trump had the "Hilliary" step blasted during the off season because he BELIEVED that it some how honored HRC's father, you know, the 1st. to climb Everest ACCORDING to GARP?

But can you tell me how many dead bodies did you see in this route ????

Just beatiful!!!!... Congratulations... One day i, ll be there!!!
Absolutely stunning
great accompanying music .

Now we just need someone to make a ladder that reaches the summit. Seriously though, what a great accomplishment. Greetings from USA
And ropes to pull them to the top

The pioneers bypassed that second step in the Norton route through the gully. But they didn't have ropes and Sherpa

is that a berghaus expedition rucksack?
Is it hard to get past the "citadel" after the 3rd step?
I made the 1000th like 😊
CONGRAT !!
Yes, a good old,sturdy,best pack. i still have it.
is that small ladder under the main ladder new installed ? or is it just installed by your team ?
greetings from germany

Mallory and Irvine are the GREATES......!!!
Comment se fait-il qu'il y avait si peu de neige au sommet du mont?
sur le versant Nord il ya un mixe neige et rocher et cela depend du vent, certaine saison avec beaucoup de vent il y a moins de neige
Finally they made it on top😦😬😧😟 I hope they come back save 😄😂😅😄

Look in the description

If you are a paid guide to assist a less experienced climber, and that climber collapses as many climbers do near the summit of Everest, would you try to drag your client down, and due to the difficulty and slow descent end up spending the night with your client near the location where they collapse, or would you leave them to get back to Camp 4 so you will survive?

Ladders and fixed ropes all over the place. The old pioneer climbers will be turning in their graves
That's climbing. If you don't like it don't watch. Even Hillary used ropes. And Mallory. Sure they aren't turning in their Graves.
"Dammit" Sandy, why didn't we think to bring a LADDER" George Mallory just before he went SLIP,ZIP, and he was HISTORY...
The original climbers set ropes n lines as well.
Scusate,ma chi è che fa i video ?😳
Amazing how a band was there on the mountain too. Great video spoiled by music. Why why why.
Land on the sky's
If you didn't set your own ropes, you didn't really climb the mountain, you were carried up by someone me else.
Reinhold Messner has asserted that neither Mallory nor Irvine had the ability to ascend the 2nd Step.
That second step-- Mallory never got up that thing in ‘24- never !
By the way, excellent video and I’m envious of your accomplishment- not bad, not bad at all.

So, I’m not a mountaineer. I’ve never done the mountain climbing thing with gear and supplies. I have hiked mountain trails in the Colorado Rockies. I don’t understand the sport of claiming you have reached the summit of Mt. Everest if you used modern aluminum ladders to achieve it. It just hits me as not being much of a sport. I realize the elevation is above 28k feet and there’s very little oxygen. If you have to use bottled oxygen and aluminum ladders you’ve brought with you, is it that much of a stretch to just fly to the top in a helicopter with supplementary oxygen supplies or parachute down from above with supplementary oxygen? I just don’t see the sport in it. I think it’s just a place we shouldn’t try to go. Period. Sorry.

Seems you can't go anywhere any more without coming across someone else's rubbish. Even the North-East ridge of Everest is littered with ropes and climbing irons. And that bloody music! The whole point of going to the mountain is to get away from it all.

I heard Trump had the "Hilliary" step blasted during the off season because he BELIEVED that it some how honored HRC's father, you know, the 1st. to climb Everest ACCORDING to GARP?
I just wish they wouldn't use ladders...
U know how hard would it be to climb up?
Lose the music. In videos like this the sound of the wind is music enough.
No music please ruined it.
I guess you could turn off the sound ??
