[Captain Peter Blood]

I think back to 1923 when George Lee Mallory and his friend attempted to climb Everest. I don’t think they know yet whether either ever made it.

It once was a romantic notion of adventure, to do something no one had done.

Now a beautiful mountain has been destroyed and become a tourist attraction. No telling how much trash and debris is there, how many bodies are there and yet they keep coming in bigger numbers contributing to the destruction of the mountain they claim to love and want to preserve.

What a mess and gross amount of hypocrisy.

"I think back to 1923 when George Lee Mallory and his friend attempted to climb Everest."

The year was 1924 and I believe the consensus in the mountain climbing community is they did not make it. The body of Mallory was found 20 years ago but the body of his companion, Andrew Irvine, was not. Irvine was carrying at least one camera and should his body be found perhaps the film in one of the cameras survived and we'll know if they did or did not make it.
