Before you judge the content of this video, consider that it is only a tiny slice of the pie in terms of what might have happened to George Mallory and Sandy Irvine on 8 June 1924. Numerous theories abound in regards to what route they might have taken, whether they made the summit or not, where they were when Odell spotted them. All I know for sure is that I don't know anything for sure. Anyone who tells you that they know what happened to these two intrepid souls, most definitely does NOT know. I definitely don't know. You don't know. This is my experience on the mountain, which all began in 1999 during the Mallory & Irvine Research Expedition, during which time the body of George Mallory was discovered. Blessings to you.
Don't believe a word I say. Find out the truth for yourself. If you feel the word of another is gospel, you are not your own man (or woman).

This film is a virtual event hosted by Musa Masala to raise awareness for safe and ethical mountain travel, featuring filmmaker and mountaineer Thom Pollard and the Mystery of Mallory & Irvine.
I played a part in two historic expeditions that were organized to solve the mystery. My entry into the 1999 expedition was my previous experience filming at altitude. Before departure in March of 1999 for Nepal I remarked to my dad while driving to the airport that there was no way in hell that we'd ever find anything. I sure was wrong. The discovery of George Mallory on 1 May 1999 set off a change in my life, having sold my photographs of the search and site of GLM's body to National Geographic Magazine. Those were the first photos I ever sold. 20 years later I returned, nagged all that time in between by the idea that the spirit of Sandy Irvine was still stuck on the mountain.
I'm not an archaeologist and surely was not trained or prepared to be one of the six people to ever (with permission from the Irvine and Mallory families) search the site. Knowing what I know now, if I had it all to do over again, of course I'd change a few things.
This presentation is really just my story. If one is interested in learning more about the Mystery of Mallory and Irvine I ask that they read any book by Jochen Hemmleb on the subject, as well as Mark Synnott's 2021 account of our expedition called The Third Pole: Mystery, Obsession, and Death on Mount Everest.
