Climb Your Everest - Jake Norton demo video Jake Norton & MountainWorld Productions 2008-05-29 | By age 35, climber and photographer Jake Norton had been to Everest 6 times (with 3 summits), helped discover the remains of George Mallory in 1999, retraced the footsteps of Ernest Shackleton across South Georgia, and spent most of his life challenging himself to overcome obstacles and pursue his dreams and goals in life. Still a professional climber, guide, and photographer, Jake now shares his positive messages of setting goals, overcoming fear, trusting instinct, being a team player, and being tenacious with audiences worldwide, from Fortune 500 corporations to schools and associations. The following is a demo video of Jake's acclaimed keynote presentation, "Getting FITT: Climb Your Everest...and Enjoy the Journey". Find out more at http://www.mountainworldproductions.com!

Secrets of the Sky Tombs Preview Jake Norton & MountainWorld Productions 2025-05-06 | In the isolated, semi-autonomous region of Mustang, Nepal, the landscape is dotted with manmade caves. Many are Buddhist meditation and ritual caves dating back centuries, and many others are ancient sky tombs, holding human remains up to 3,000 years old which may, in turn, hold answers to the earliest humans to settle at extreme altitude. Jake Norton worked with NOVA teams and scientists on two expeditions to document and tell the story of the Sky Tombs of Mustang.

Lost on Everest: The Mystery of Mallory & Irvine Livestream Jake Norton & MountainWorld Productions 2024-06-09 | On June 8, 1924, at 12:50 PM, two tiny figures were seen less than a thousand feet from the summit of Mount Everest. It was George Mallory and Andrew Irvine moving toward the top, hoping to become the first people to reach the highest summit on Earth. But they soon vanished in the clouds and reappeared only in the pages of history: Mallory & Irvine were never seen alive again. Their disappearance sparked what is now a 100-year mystery: Did they reach the summit of Everest on June 8, 1924, 29 years before Hillary and Tenzing climbed from the Nepal side?On May 1, 1999, Jake Norton was a climber and photographer on the team that discovered Mallory's remains at nearly 27,000 feet on the North Face. While their discovery yielded much new information and artifacts about the duo's final days and hours on the mountain, it did not answer the perennial question about the summit. Jake returned to the mountain on dedicated research expeditions in 2001, 2004, and 2019, discovering new information, artifacts, and more, but still no answers, no certainty.In this livestream presentation, Jake will take you through the story of Mallory and Irvine, their climb of the mountain, their disappearance, and what may finally have befallen them on that fateful day nearly a century ago. He also reflects on whether the central question in their story is even the right one to be asking in the first place.

Searches 1981-2023 2024 Update Jake Norton & MountainWorld Productions 2024-05-08 | In 2022, I first created this project to consolidate all the research data relating to searches and discoveries made regarding the story of George Mallory and Andrew Irvine's disappearance on Mount Everest on June 8, 1924. The project naturally grew to include additional data on all the pre-World War II expeditions, then the pre-modern era expeditions, and then morphed again to include historic routes on the North (Tibetan) Side of the mountain. This past week, I updated the project again to streamline the user interface, make the data consistent across all three views of the North Face, and include some bits of new information, namely about the 1981 French Military Expedition. The project can be viewed on my blog here: jakenorton.com/everest-searches-routes-discoveries

Everest Trash to Treasure: The Battery Jake Norton & MountainWorld Productions 2024-04-27 | I've decided to share some of the artifacts I have here in my office, items I've found over the years on the slopes of Mount Everest. But, being a bit of a history nerd myself, it's not just the object, but the story behind it. So, with this first artifact, we'll go back to the early days on Everest, to 1922 - the second ever Everest expedition - and look at an old battery I found in 2001 at the site of the 1922 Camp III (Advanced Basecamp). A simple item with a big backstory. __As noted in the video, some links of interest and relevance:- John Noel's 1922 Everest film: player.bfi.org.uk/free/film/watch-climbing-mt-everest-1922-online- My blog posts about various items and artifacts on Everest: jakenorton.com/?s=artifact- Janette Elaine Faull's PHD thesis focusing on Noel and the history of Everest cinema - "Climbing Mount Everest: Expeditionary Film, GeographicalScience and Media Culture, 1922 – 1953": pure.royalholloway.ac.uk/files/37114068/2019faullje.phd.pdfVaw3gweks8v9G_k7wbhUEzcAg

Storm at Camp V, 25,600 feet, on Mount Everest Jake Norton & MountainWorld Productions 2021-04-28 | Shot in 1999 by Thom Pollard and Dave Hahn, this footage shows a ferocious wind storm that pinned our team for several days at Camp V on the North Ridge of Everest. Brought on by a jet stream trough, we faced winds of 90mph or more, battering our tents relentlessly. When the storm finally relented, we continued with our summit bid, moving from Camp V to Camp VI (27,200 feet) and then on to the summit push.This video is part of the massive, interactive Virtual Mount Everest tour on the unDefined Blog here: jakenorton.com/virtual-mount-everest-tour-is-live/.

The Longland Traverse on Mount Everest Jake Norton & MountainWorld Productions 2021-04-28 | On May 23, 2019, Sid Pattison and I (Jake Norton) dropped into the Longland Traverse from the 1933 Camp VI on Mount Everest as part of our search for Andrew Irvine. The Longland Traverse is named after Jack Longland, member of the 1933 British Mount Everest Expedition. Longland helped establish Camp VI at 27,400 feet in the Yellow Band, and then was charged with assisting eight Nepali porters back down to the lower camps. Rather than risk the steep terrain they had ascended, Longland opted for a diagonal bench which now bears his name, heading northward along the North Face toward the Northeast Shoulder. In 2019, Sid and I headed into the Longland to see if (a) we could spot any evidence of Mallory and Irvine from 1924, and (b) to see if there was a logical route Chhiring Dorje might have taken in 1995 when he reportedly saw a body high on the mountain. The Longland Traverse is rarely if ever used these days, and it was a great pleasure to be on it once again (I went down the Traverse in 2004 as well). This video is uploaded as part of a massive, interactive panorama project on Mount Everest and its environs.

1933 Camp VI on Mount Everest Jake Norton & MountainWorld Productions 2021-04-28 | This video is a small part of my Virtual Everest Panorama Project, which features an in-depth virtual tour of Everest and environs through 47 panoramas from all sides of the mountain. See it here: jakenorton.com/virtual-mount-everest-tour-is-liveIn 1999, I tripped (literally) over a piece of old metal sticking out of the rubble in the Yellow Band. It turned out to be the remains of the 1933 Camp VI, walked over by climbers for decades, but never looked at. Since 1999, I've visited the camp four more times, pulling out some very cool artifacts and even getting some snacks in the process. Take a look at this video to learn more about the '33 camp, and be sure to visit my Virtual Everest Panorama Project for much more!
Old Wood at ABC Jake Norton & MountainWorld Productions 2021-04-28 | This video is part of the massive, interactive Virtual Mount Everest tour on the unDefined Blog here: jakenorton.com/virtual-mount-everest-tour-is-live/. It's always eye opening to me what can be found if you take the time to look around. In Spring 2019, on our first trip up to Advanced Basecamp on Mount Everest, I took a little detour above camp to browse around on the moraines, and found bits of wooden packing crate, most likely from 1933. Small trinkets of now massive significance, but also ties to a past that is oft forgotten, memories of those who paved the way a century ago.Climb Mount Everest ... virtually!

We were trying to see if we could find evidence of Andrew "Sandy" Irvine up there, as there were reports from climbers seeing a body in roughly that are in 1960 (Xu Jing) and 1995 (Chhiring Dorje). While not overly difficult terrain, it is steep and exposed, and there were many climbers traversing the slopes below, forcing us to be extremely careful of knocking rocks down upon them.

International Mountain Day 2020 Jake Norton & MountainWorld Productions 2020-12-11 | Mountains are home to 15% of the world's population, and contain roughly 50% of our global biodiversity hotspots. They also provide fresh water to half the world's people, and have been sources of inspiration and reverence for millennia. But, while they mighty and strong, mountains are under threat. Climate change, over-development, and exploitation are all causing the mountains we love - and on which we all depend - to deteriorate. Glaciers are melting, mountain people - some of the world's poorest - are suffering, and mountain ecosystems are crumbling. Today, December 11, 2020, is International Mountain Day, a day we can all gather to celebrate mountains, mountain people and cultures, and mountain environments...and take action to protect and preserve them. The 2020 IMD theme is Mountain Biodiversity, encompassing all that mountains host and provide for us. This film - featuring the music of Mountain Partnership Ambassadors @ludovicoeinaudi (ludovicoeinaudi.com) and his composition "Svanire," and film footage from @jake_norton (jakenorton.com) - celebrates mountains, mountain biodiversity, and International Mountain Day - today, and every day! Please share with the hashtag #MountainsMatter, and keep celebrating mountains!
Mystery Camp Discovery on Mount Everest Jake Norton & MountainWorld Productions 2017-08-29 | In Spring, 2004, Dave Hahn and I went back to Mount Everest to search once again for Andrew Irvine and clues to his and George Mallory's 1924 disappearance on the mountain. During the expedition, we found quite a few interesting artifacts, and I was able to re-discover this camp - among others - on the saddle of the First Step at 27,600 feet, with remains from both the Chinese expeditions of 1960 and 1975. Note that this is a new, higher quality version of my 2006 upload, "Search for Andrew Irvine, 2004" here: youtube.com/watch?v=cE6k2G6BY68.
