Jake Norton discovers the 1938 high camp on the Northeast Shoulder of Mount Everest in 2004. The camp, located in possibly the windiest spot on Everest, was all but abandoned in 1938 and left in the elements for 66 years. All that Jake discovered was a tent pole, some old cans, bits of tent material, and some pitons and other items. Jake also takes viewers on a tour of the Northeast Shoulder of Everest, showing where Boardman & Tasker disappeared in 1982 and the possible ascent route taken by Mallory & Irvine in 1924. High winds that day, so Jake has added subtitles to help you understand what he is saying and describing. Enjoy, and visit www.mountainworldproductions.com for more!

WTF you guys were having a three way or some shit up there
whoa! awesome
check out the video
„bonanza Peak“ its sweet
Great video, amazing. I would probably die up there with my lungs. Stop smoking all !
I saw this video on Discovery – I think a few years ago. That bit with the labels blew me away the hairs on the back of my neck stood on end. To find this guy was fantastic and you sounded very emotional am I right. And that bit with the sun creme that could still be used… What a bit of televisual genius fantastic.. jimmy from Scotland
I watched the documentry video of the finding of Mallory on Discovery I think. It was amazing stuff. That bit with the labels
blew me away and the bit with the sun cream that could still be used. And Mallory clutching the mountain face down. What a climber – prepared to die for his dream. U sounded very emotional at the scene is this correct.

Yes, he had laundry labels sewn into several of his shirts. When I discovered them, it was by accident, thinking that I’d just find manufacturer’s labels. It was quite a surprise! You can see the moment on the video on my website (check my profile), or view it on the NOVA documentary, „Lost on Everest“.
Is it true that Mallory’s name was sown into his t shirts?
hi acejace00,
thanks for the note. Yes, it is a pretty crazy environment…I’m breathing like that because of the altitude – nearly 28,000 feet! There’s only about 1/4 the oxygen there as at sea level (well, actually 1/4 the air pressure). Anyway, you end up breathing like that most of the time up that high. And, as a result of that and the dry air, you get a raspy cough; hence, the continual coughing. Ah, extreme altitude is fun!!
hi judrok1,
thanks for your comment. Yes, hard to find footage of these trips. But, I did find some great stuff recently which I posted on my blog. Can’t put urls in comments on YouTube, so just go to my profile and click through to my blog – the post was on September 30, 2009. Enjoy!
I love this video because it gives me a sense of what it’s really actually like to be in those crazy winds up on Everest. A very real and very human feeling. I absolutely love this video. Why are you breathing like that? It doesn’t sound like you would be able to sustain such labored breathing for long. Also, it sounds like you’re trying to clear your lungs or huff something up every 20 seconds or so? Is that normal?
Thanks!
whoa: that’s cool. i’m an italian climber. all respect to you.
wow
Thank you…!
Good question! Wish I knew!
Don’t know of any definite plans, but there’s always talk back in the ether. Hopefully something else will come through!
and, good luck in 2011!
I’ve used a D100, D200, and D300 on Everest, and they all work great. Nikon’s are the best for this type of conditions as far as I’m concerned. Have to keep the batteries warm, but that’s the same with any camera. You can read about the gear I use on the mountain by going to the First Ascent blog, which was the coverage for our expedition this spring.
Not long…fortunately, I knew where it once was, and thus was able to locate its remains pretty quickly. As you saw, not much left of it, and the weather was no too cooperative. But, it took about an hour to get up to the Shoulder from Camp VI, and then another 30 minutes or so to find the tent pole, which was one of the first clues.
How long did it take you to find the camp? It must be tough as time is a limiting factor at that altitude? My old man climbed to Everest camp 2 the year I was born in 77. India, Nepal, and the Himalaya’s are fantasies come true for me since they where my bed time stories as a kid. I’m planning on going 2011.
how do the cameras go in the temperatures batterys etc would a
nikon d700 work in them conditions or just freeze up ?
great videos Jake interesting stuff
Actually, I think what you’re seeing is my backpack off in the distance. No bodies up in that section of the route. Sorry!
You can see the body of a dead climber in many shots. At one point he walks straight towards it, but says nothing about who it was. Weird.
God bless you for being my eyes on so many occasions. Seeing the remains of the 38 high camp is incredible. I have been searching for some of the old films made by Noel and others (like Epic of Everest, and Tragedy on Everest) and I cant find them anywhere except the occasional auction. Hasnt someone put these films on DVD yet, for us normal folk to enjoy?
Wow, great post jake. Any more news on any future Mallory & Irvine expeditions ? That camera’s up there somewhere…I guess that’s not the best place to conduct a search huh.
