Shishapangma Mountain – sport mountain climbing is a sport that is booming. climbers race up the mountain mountain race in the world. ranging from the mountain known as the height, or the mountain known by its beauty. including one of the world’s high mountains, on Mount Shishapangma.
Shishapangma (also called Xixiabangma or Gosainthan) is the fourteenth highest mountain in the world and, at 8013 m (26 289 ft), the lowest of the eight-thousanders. That was the end of the 8,000-meter peak to climb, due to its location entirely in Tibet and restrictions on visits by foreigners to Tibet and imposed by the Chinese government.
Shishapangma is located in south-central Tibet, a few kilometers from the border with Nepal. It is only eight thousander entirely within Chinese territory. This is the highest peak in the Jugal Himal, which is adjacent to, and is often considered a part of, the Langtang Himal. The joint Jugal / Langtang Himal in Tibet / Nepal border. Due to the dry northern peaks of the Himalayas, and away from lowland Nepal, has been somewhat less vertical support dramatic than most other major Himalayan peaks.
Name sbang Tibetan shi sha ma means “crest above the meadow.” China Names Xīxiàbāngmǎ 希夏 帮 马 峰 phonetic interpretation of the name Feng Tibet. In Sanskrit, the mountain is called Gosainthan, which means “sacred place” or “dwelling place of God”. Another interpretation, based on the spelling-Shisha Pangma, is that the name means, literally, “Sherpa Woman.
Shishapangma was first climbed through the Northwest and Northeast Face Ridge and face (Northern Route) on May 2, 1964 by a Chinese expedition led by Xǔ Jing. Besides Xǔ Jing, the top team consists of Junyan Zhang, Wang Fuzhou (Fuzhou Wang Chen Wu Zōngyuè San Soinam Dorje (Suǒnán Duoji, Cheng Tianliang, Migmar Zhaxi (Mǐmǎ Zhaxi), Dorje (Duoji) and Yun Deng.
if you are interested in mountain climbing Shishapangma? If you are a climber and loves climbing, you should try this mountain. Shishapangma mountain climbing would be a pride for you. good luck.

The Postcard
A postcard that was printed and published by Ingram Clark & Co. Ltd. of Ilfracombe. The Candar Hotel caught fire and was subsequently demolished. The fire started at 2:30am on the night of 2nd. September 1983 in the shopping arcade under the Candar hotel. In this fire one life was lost.
The Candar Arcade site became the Candar sheltered residential apartments. The opening of Candar apartments was the last public engagement performed by Charles and Diana, as the Prince and Princess of Wales in 1992.
The card was posted in Barnes, London S.W.13 on Monday the 9th. June 1924 to:
Miss G. Jones,
Scarth Lodge,
Scarth Road,
Barnes,
London S.W.
Local.
The pencilled message on the divided back was as follows:
"So sorry we were out.
Shall be in on Tuesday
evening if you are out
for an hour. Shall be
very pleased to see you.
Love Adam."
George Mallory
So what else happened on the day that Adam posted the card?
Well, the 9th. June 1924 (or possibly the 8th. June 1924) marked the death of George Mallory.
George Herbert Leigh Mallory, who was born in Cheshire on the 18th. June 1886, was an English mountaineer who took part in the first three British expeditions to Mount Everest in the early 1920's.
Mallory was introduced to rock climbing and mountaineering as a student at Winchester College. After graduating from Magdalene College, Cambridge, he taught at Charterhouse School whilst climbing in the Alps and the English Lake District.
George served in the British Army during the Great War, and fought at the Somme.
After the war, Mallory returned to Charterhouse before resigning to take part in the 1921 British Mount Everest reconnaissance expedition.
In 1922, he took part in a second expedition to make the first ascent of the world's highest mountain, in which his team achieved a record altitude of 26,980 ft (8,225 m) without supplemental oxygen.
During the 1924 expedition, Mallory and his climbing partner, Andrew "Sandy" Irvine, disappeared on the northeast ridge of Everest. The pair were last seen when they were about 800 vertical feet (245 m) from the summit.
Mallory's ultimate fate was unknown for 75 years, until his body was discovered on the 1st. May 1999 by an expedition that had set out to search for the climbers' remains.
Whether Mallory and Irvine reached the summit before they died remains a subject of debate, of various theories, and of continuing research.
George Mallory - The Early Years
George Mallory was born in Mobberley, Cheshire, the son of Herbert Leigh-Mallory (1856–1943), a clergyman who changed his surname from Mallory to Leigh-Mallory in 1914.
His mother was Annie Beridge (1863–1946), the daughter of a clergyman in Walton, Derbyshire. George had two sisters and a younger brother, Trafford Leigh-Mallory, the World War II Royal Air Force commander. George was raised in a ten-bedroom house on Hobcroft Lane in Mobberley.
In 1896, Mallory attended Glengorse, a boarding school in Eastbourne. At the age of 13, he won a mathematics scholarship to Winchester College. In his final year there, he was introduced to rock climbing and mountaineering by a master, R. L. G. Irving, who took a few people climbing in the Alps each year.
In October 1905, Mallory entered Magdalene College, Cambridge, to study history. He was a keen oarsman, and rowed for his college.
While at Cambridge University, he became good friends with future members of the Bloomsbury Group, including Rupert Brooke, John Maynard Keynes, James Strachey, Lytton Strachey, and Duncan Grant.
Among these friends, particularly Lytton Strachey, his letters attest a flirtatious, homoerotic and "explicitly gay" friendship. In 1909, Lytton Strachey wrote of Mallory:
"Mon Dieu!—George Mallory! … He's six-foot high,
with the body of an athlete by Praxiteles, and a
face - oh incredible - the mystery of Botticelli, the
refinement and delicacy of a Chinese print, the
youth and piquancy of an unimaginable English
boy."
After gaining his degree, Mallory stayed in Cambridge for a year writing an essay he published as Boswell the Biographer. George lived briefly in France before he began teaching at Charterhouse School in 1910, where he met the poet Robert Graves, then a pupil.
In his autobiography, 'Goodbye to All That', Graves remembered Mallory fondly, both for the encouragement of his interest in literature and poetry, and his instruction in climbing. Graves recalled:
"Mallory was wasted as a teacher
at Charterhouse. He tried to treat
his class in a friendly way, which
puzzled and offended them."
While at Charterhouse, Mallory met his wife, Ruth Turner (1892–1942), who lived in Godalming, Surrey, and they were married in 1914, six days before Britain entered the Great War.
George and Ruth had two daughters and a son: Frances Clare (1915–2001), Beridge Ruth, known as "Berry" (1917–1953), and John (b. 1920).
During the Great War, in December 1915, Mallory was commissioned in the Royal Garrison Artillery as a second lieutenant and was promoted to lieutenant on the 1st. July 1917. Mallory relinquished his commission on the 21st. February 1920, retaining the rank of lieutenant.
After the war, Mallory returned to Charterhouse, but resigned in 1921 to join the first British expedition to Mount Everest. Between expeditions, he attempted to make a living from writing and lecturing, with only partial success. In 1923, he took a job as a lecturer with the Cambridge University Extramural Studies Department. He was given temporary leave so that he could join the 1924 Everest attempt.
Climbing in Europe
In 1910, in a party led by Irving, George and a friend attempted to climb Mont Vélan in the Alps, but turned back shortly before the summit due to Mallory's altitude sickness. In 1911, Mallory climbed Mont Blanc, and made the third ascent of the Frontier ridge of Mont Maudit in a party again led by Irving.
According to Helmut Dumler:
"Mallory was apparently prompted by a
friend on the Western Front in 1916 to write
a highly emotional article of his ascent of
this great climb."
This article was published as 'Mont Blanc from the Col du Géant by the Eastern Buttress of Mont Maudit' in the Alpine Journal.
The article contained George's question, "Have we vanquished an enemy?" [i.e., the mountain] to which he responded, "None but ourselves."
By 1913, Mallory had ascended Pillar Rock in the English Lake District, with no assistance, by what is now known as "Mallory's Route" - currently graded Hard Very Severe 5a (Yosemite Decimal Rating 5.9).
One of Mallory's closest friends and climbing companions was a young woman named Cottie Sanders, who became a novelist with the pseudonym of Ann Bridge. The nature of their relationship is elusive; Sanders was either a "climbing friend" or a "casual sweetheart".
After Mallory died, Cottie wrote a memoir of him, which was never published, but provided much of the material used by later biographers such as David Pye and David Robertson in the novel 'Everest Dream.'
Climbing in Asia
-- The First Expedition
Mallory participated in the initial 1921 Mount Everest expedition that explored routes up to Everest's North Col. The expedition produced the first accurate maps of the region around the mountain, as Mallory, his climbing partner Guy Bullock, and E. O. Wheeler of the Survey of India explored in depth several approaches to its peak.
Under Mallory's leadership, and with the assistance of around a dozen Sherpas, the group climbed several lower peaks near Everest. George and his party were almost certainly the first Westerners to view the Western Cwm at the foot of the Lhotse face, as well as charting the course of the Rongbuk Glacier up to the base of the North Face.
After circling the mountain from the south side, his party finally discovered the East Rongbuk Glacier - the highway to the summit now used by nearly all climbers on the Tibetan side of the mountain.
By climbing up to the saddle of the North Ridge (the 23,030 ft (7,020 m) North Col), they identified a route to the summit via the North-East Ridge over the obstacle of the Second Step.
-- The Second Expedition
In 1922, Mallory returned to the Himalayas as part of the party led by Brigadier General Charles Bruce and climbing leader Edward Strutt, with a view to making a serious attempt on the summit.
Eschewing their bottled oxygen, which was at the time seen as going against the spirit of mountaineering, Mallory, along with Howard Somervell and Edward Norton, almost reached the crest of the North-East Ridge.
Despite being hampered and slowed by the thin air, they achieved a record altitude of 26,980 ft (8,225 m) before weather conditions and the late hour forced them to retreat.
A second party led by George Finch reached an elevation of around 27,300 ft (8,321 m) using bottled oxygen both for climbing and - a first - for sleeping. The party climbed at record speeds, a fact that Mallory seized upon during the next expedition.
-- The Third Expedition
Mallory organised a third unsuccessful attempt on the summit, departing as the monsoon season arrived. On the 7th. June 1922, while he was leading a group of porters down the lower slopes of the North Col of Everest in fresh, waist-deep snow, an avalanche swept over the group, killing seven Sherpas.
The attempt was immediately abandoned, and Mallory was subsequently accused of poor judgement, including by expedition participants such as Dr. Longstaff.
'Because It's There'
Mallory is famously quoted as having replied to the question, "Why did you want to climb Mount Everest?" with the retort, "Because it's there." George's reply has been called "the most famous three words in mountaineering".
Questions have arisen over the authenticity of the quote, and whether Mallory actually said it. Some have suggested that it was a paraphrase by a newspaper reporter, but scrutiny of the original Times report leaves this unresolved.
The phrase was certainly consistent with the direct quotes cited in the report, so it appears not to misrepresent Mallory's attitude.
Mallory's Last Climb
Mallory joined the 1924 Everest expedition, led, as in 1922, by Gen. Charles Bruce. Mallory, who was 37 at the time of the expedition, believed his age would make this his last opportunity to climb the mountain, and when touring the US proclaimed that the expedition would successfully reach the summit.
Mallory and Bruce made the first attempt, which was inexplicably aborted by Mallory at Camp 5. Norton and Somervell then set off from Camp 6, and in perfect weather, Norton managed, without oxygen, to reach 28,120 ft (8,570 m), a new record height.
On the 4th. June 1924, Mallory and Andrew Irvine set off from Advanced Base Camp (ABC) at 21,330 ft (6,500 m) and had already begun using oxygen from the base of the North Col, which they climbed in 2+1⁄2 hours.
Mallory had been converted from his original scepticism about oxygen usage by his failure on his initial assault, and the very rapid ascent of Finch in 1922.
At 08:40 on the 6th. June, they set off, climbing to Camp 5. On the 7th. June, they reached Camp 6. Mallory wrote that he had used only 3⁄4 of one bottle of oxygen for the two days, which suggests a climb rate of some 856 vertical feet per hour.
On the 8th. June, expedition member Noel Odell was moving up behind the pair in a "support role". Around 26,000 ft (7,925 m), he spotted the two climbing a prominent rock step, either the First or Second Step, about 13:00, although Odell might, conceivably, have been viewing the higher, then-unknown, "Third Step". Odell later reported:
"At 12.50, just after I had emerged from a state of
jubilation at finding the first definite fossils on Everest,
there was a sudden clearing of the atmosphere, and
the entire summit ridge and final peak of Everest were
unveiled.
My eyes became fixed on one tiny black spot silhouetted
on a small snow crest beneath a rock step in the ridge;
the black spot moved. Another black spot became
apparent, and moved up the snow to join the other on
the crest.
The first then approached the great rock step and shortly
emerged at the top; the second did likewise. Then the whole
fascinating vision vanished, enveloped in cloud once more".
At the time, Odell observed that one of the men surmounted the Second Step of the northeast ridge. Apart from his testimony, though, no evidence has been found that Mallory and Irvine climbed higher than the First Step; one of their spent oxygen cylinders was found shortly below the First Step, and Irvine's ice axe was found nearby in 1933. They never returned to their camp.
Presumably, Mallory and Irvine died either late the same evening or on the 9th. June. The news of Mallory and Irvine's disappearance was widely mourned in Britain, and the two were hailed as national heroes.
A memorial service was held in London at St Paul's Cathedral on the 17th. October. It was attended by a great assembly of family, friends, and dignitaries including King George V and members of the royal family, Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald, and his entire Cabinet.
Mallory's will was proven in London on the 17th. December; he bequeathed his estate of £1706 17s. 6d. (roughly equivalent to £103,517 in 2021) to his wife.
Lost on Everest for 75 Years
After their disappearance, several expeditions tried to find their remains, and perhaps, determine if they had reached the summit. Frank Smythe, when on a 1936 expedition, believed he had spotted a body below the place where Irvine's ice axe had been found three years earlier:
"I was scanning the face from base camp through a
high-powered telescope when I saw something queer
in a gully below the scree shelf. Of course, it was a long
way away and very small, but I've a six/six eyesight and
do not believe it was a rock.
This object was at precisely the point where Mallory and
Irvine would have fallen had they rolled on over the scree
slopes."
Smythe wrote this in a letter to Edward Felix Norton. He kept the discovery quiet as he feared press sensationalism, and it was not revealed until 2013, after the letter was found by his son when preparing his biography.
In late 1986, Tom Holzel launched a search expedition based on reports from Chinese climber Zhang Junyan that his tent-mate, Wang Hungbao, had stumbled across "an English dead" at 26,570 ft (8,100 m) in 1975.
On the last day of the expedition, Holzel met with Zhang Junyan, who reiterated that, despite official denials from the Chinese Mountaineering Association, Wang had come back from a short excursion and described finding "a foreign mountaineer" at "8,100 m." Wang was killed in an avalanche the day after delivering his verbal report, so the location was never more precisely fixed.
In 1999, the Mallory and Irvine Research Expedition arrived at Everest to search for the lost pair. Within hours of beginning the search on the 1st. May, Conrad Anker found a frozen body at 26,760 ft (8,157 m) on the north face of the mountain.
As the body was found below where Irvine's axe had been found in 1933 at 27,760 ft (8,461.25 m), the team expected it to be Irvine's, and were hoping to recover the camera that he had reportedly carried with him.
They were surprised to find that name tags on the body's clothing bore the name of "G. Leigh Mallory." The body was well preserved, due to the freezing conditions. A brass altimeter, a stag-handled lambsfoot pocket knife with leather slip-case, and an unbroken pair of snow-goggles were recovered from the pockets of the clothing.
Personal effects, including a letter and a bill from a London supplier of climbing equipment, confirmed the identity of the body. The team could not, however, locate the camera that the two climbers took to document their final summit attempt.
Experts from Kodak have said that if a camera is ever found, some chance exists that its film could be developed to produce printable images, if extraordinary measures are taken. Kodak have provided guidance as to the handling of such a camera and the film inside, in the event that it is found.
Before leaving the site of Mallory's death, the expedition conducted an Anglican service for the climber, and covered his remains with a cairn on the mountain.
Sir Edmund Hillary, who with Tenzing Norgay is credited with reaching the Everest summit first, welcomed news of the discovery of Mallory's body, and described as "very appropriate" the possibility that Mallory might turn out to have summited decades earlier. Hillary said:
"He was really the initial pioneer of the
whole idea of climbing Mount Everest."
The 1999 research team returned to the mountain in 2001 to conduct further research. They discovered Mallory and Irvine's last camp, but failed to find either Irvine or a camera. Another initiative in 2004 also proved fruitless.
Reaching the Summit
Whether Mallory and Irvine reached Everest's summit is unknown. The question remains open to speculation, and is the topic of much debate and research.
Mallory's Body
When found, George's body was sun-bleached, frozen, and mummified.
Judging by a serious rope-jerk injury around Mallory's waist, which was encircled by the remnants of a climbing rope, he and Irvine were apparently roped together when one of them slipped.
Mallory's body lay 300 metres (1000 ft) below and about 100 metres (300 ft) horizontal to the location of the ice axe found in 1933, which is generally accepted from three characteristic marks on the shaft as belonging to Irvine.
That the body was relatively unbroken, apart from fractures to the right leg (the tibia and fibula were broken just above the boot), as compared to other bodies in the same location that were known to have fallen from the North-East Ridge, strongly suggests that Mallory could not have fallen from the ice axe site, but must have fallen from much lower down.
The other significant find on Mallory's body was a severe, golf ball-sized puncture wound in his forehead, the likely cause of his death.
The unusual puncture wound is consistent with one inflicted by an ice axe, leading some to conclude that, while Mallory was descending in a self-arrest "glissade", sliding down a slope while dragging his ice axe in the snow to control the speed of his descent, his ice axe may have struck a rock and bounced off, striking him fatally.
Two items of circumstantial evidence from the body suggest that he attempted, or reached, the summit:
-- Mallory's daughter said he carried a photograph of his wife on his person with the intention of leaving it on the summit. The photograph was not found on Mallory's body. Given the excellent preservation of the body, its garments, and other items including documents in his wallet, this points to the possibility that he reached the summit and left the photo there.
On the other hand, Wang (who is known to have taken Mallory's ice axe) might also have taken the photograph for identification purposes, and no one who has subsequently reached the summit has reported seeing any evidence of the photograph or any other trace of their presence there.
-- Mallory's unbroken snow goggles were found in his pocket, suggesting that Irvine and he had made a push for the summit and were descending after sunset. On his attempt a few days earlier, Norton had suffered serious snow blindness because he did not wear his goggles, so Mallory would be unlikely to have dispensed with them in daylight, and given their known departure time and movements, it is unlikely that they would have still been out by nightfall had they not attempted the summit pyramid.
An alternative scenario is that Mallory carried an extra pair, and the pair he was wearing was torn off in his fall.
The Difficult "Second Step"
Experienced modern climbers have mixed views on whether Mallory was capable of climbing the Second Step on the North Ridge. This is now surmounted by a 15 ft (4.6 m) aluminium ladder fixed in place by Chinese climbers in 1975 to bridge this very difficult pitch.
Austrian Theo Fritsche repeated the free climb solo in 2001 under conditions that resembled those encountered during the 1924 Everest expedition, and assessed the climb as having a grade of 5.6–5.7. Fritsche completed the climb without supplementary oxygen, and believes that Mallory could, weather permitting, have reached the summit.
In June 2007, as part of the 2007 Altitude Everest expedition, Conrad Anker and Leo Houlding free-climbed the Second Step, having first removed the Chinese ladder (which was later replaced).
Houlding rated the climb at 5.9, just within Mallory's estimated capabilities. The climb was part of an expedition which tried to recreate the 1924 climb. Eight years earlier, Anker had climbed the Second Step as part of the Mallory and Irvine Research Expedition, but had used one point of aid by stepping on a rung of the ladder, which blocked the only available foothold.
At that time, Anker had rated the climb at 5.10, which he considered to be beyond Mallory's capabilities, but after the June 2007 climb, he changed his view and said that Mallory "could have climbed it".
Noel Odell believed that he had seen Mallory and Irvine ascend the Second Step, but eventually changed his story to say it was the First Step. Towards the end of his life, however, he reaffirmed his original view. Recent observations taken from Odell's vantage point by other climbers suggest that Odell would have probably seen the men at the Second Step as he had initially reported.
Theories
A number of different outcomes have been proposed, and new theories continue to be put forward. Most views have the two carrying two cylinders of oxygen each, reaching and climbing either the First or Second Step, where they are seen by Odell.
At this point, two main alternatives remain: either Mallory takes Irvine's oxygen and goes on alone (and may or may not reach the summit); or both go on together until they turn back (having used up their oxygen, or realising that they will do so before the summit).
In either case, Mallory slips and falls to his death while descending, perhaps caught in the fierce snow squall that sent Odell to take shelter in their tent.
Irvine either falls with him, or in the first scenario, dies alone of exhaustion and hypothermia high up on the ridge.
The hypothesis advanced by Tom Holzel in February 2008 is that Odell sighted Mallory and Irvine climbing the First Step for a final look around while they were actually descending from a failed summit bid.
Assessments by Other Climbers
-- Ang Tsering
Ang Tsering, a Sherpa member of the 1924 British Everest Expedition, was interviewed in 2000 by Jonathan Neale. Ang recounted:
"What I liked about George Mallory
was that he was so friendly."
-- Harry Tyndale
Harry Tyndale, one of Mallory's climbing partners, said of Mallory:
"In watching George at work, one was conscious
not so much of physical strength as of suppleness
and balance; so rhythmical and harmonious was
his progress in any steep place that his movements
appeared almost serpentine in their smoothness."
-- Geoffrey Winthrop Young
Geoffrey Winthrop Young, an accomplished mountain climber, held Mallory's ability in awe:
"His movement in climbing was entirely his own.
It contradicted all theory. He would set his foot
high against any angle of smooth surface, fold
his shoulder to his knee, and flow upward and
upright again on an impetuous curve.
Whatever may have happened unseen the while
between him and the cliff… the look, and indeed
the result, were always the same - a continuous
undulating movement so rapid and so powerful
that one felt the rock must yield, or disintegrate."
The First "Real" ascent, or Just to the Summit?
If evidence were found that showed that Mallory or Irvine had reached the summit of Everest in 1924, advocates of Hillary and Norgay's first ascent maintain that the historical record should not be changed to state that Mallory and Irvine made the first ascent.
-- 1965 Mount Everest summiteer H. P. S. Ahluwalia claims that without photographic proof, no evidence shows that Mallory reached the summit and:
"It would be unfair to say that the
first man to scale Mount Everest
was George Mallory".
-- Mallory's son John Mallory, who was three years old when his father died, said:
"To me, the only way you achieve a summit
is to come back alive. The job is only half
done if you don't get down again".
-- Edmund Hillary echoed John Mallory's opinion, asking:
"If you climb a mountain for the first time and die on the
descent, is it really a complete first ascent of the mountain?
I am rather inclined to think personally that maybe it is quite
important, the getting down, and the complete climb of a
mountain is reaching the summit and getting safely to the
bottom again."
-- Hillary's daughter, Sarah, when asked about her father's take on the debate, said:
"His view was that he had got 50 good years
out of being conqueror of Everest, and, whatever
happened, he wasn't particularly worried. That's
my feeling as well."
-- Chris Bonington, the British mountaineer, argued:
"If we accept the fact that they were above the
Second Step, they would have seemed to be
incredibly close to the summit of Everest, and I
think at that stage something takes hold of most
climbers… And I think therefore taking all those
circumstances in view… I think it is quite conceivable
that they did go for the summit… I certainly would
love to think that they actually reached the summit
of Everest. I think it is a lovely thought and I think it is
something, you know, gut emotion, yes I would love
them to have got there. Whether they did or not,
I think that is something one just cannot know."
-- Conrad Anker, who found Mallory's body in 1999, free-climbed the Second Step in 2007 and who has worn replica 1924 climbing gear on Everest, said:
"I believe it is possible, but highly
improbable, that they made it to
the top."
Anker cited the difficulty of the Second Step and the position of Mallory's body. He said that, in his opinion:
"I don't believe they made it… the climbing up there
is so difficult, and I think that Mallory was a very good
climber, and part of being a good climber is knowing
when you're at too much of a risk, and it's time to turn
back.
I think he saw that, and he turned back and it was
either he or Irvine as they were descending the
Yellow Band slipped and pulled the other one off, the
rope snapped and he came to his rest."
-- Robert Graves, who climbed with Mallory, in his autobiography recounts the story, at the time famous in climbing circles, about an ascent that Mallory made as a young man in 1908:
"My friend George Mallory once did an inexplicable
climb on Snowdon. He had left his pipe on a ledge,
half-way down one of the Liwedd precipices, and
scrambled back by a short cut to retrieve it, then up
again by the same route.
No one saw what route he took, but when they came to
examine it the next day for official record, they found an
overhang nearly all the way.
By a rule of the Climbers' Club, climbs are never named
in honour of their inventors, but only describe natural
features.
An exception was made here. The climb was recorded
as follows:
'Mallory's Pipe, a variation on route 2; see adjoining map.
This climb is totally impossible. It has been performed
once, in failing light, by Mr G. H. L. Mallory.'"
The route is now called "Mallory's Slab", a hard V Diff on Y Lliwedd.
The Legacy of George Mallory
Mallory was honoured by having a court named after him at his alma mater, Magdalene College, Cambridge, with an inscribed stone commemorating his death set above the doorway to one of the buildings.
The Friends of Magdalene Boat Club was renamed the Mallory Club in recognition of his achievements in exploration and rowing at the college.
Two high peaks in California's Sierra Nevada, Mount Mallory and Mount Irvine, located a few miles southeast of Mount Whitney, were named after them.
The Times obituary of George Finch called Mallory and Finch "The two best alpinists of their time".
Mallory was captured on film by expedition cameraman John Noel, who released his film of the 1924 expedition, 'The Epic of Everest.' Some of his footage was also used in George Lowe's 1953 documentary 'The Conquest of Everest'.
A documentary on the 2001 Mallory and Irvine Research Expedition, 'Found on Everest', was produced by Riley Morton.
Mallory was played by Brian Blessed in the 1991 re-creation of his last climb, 'Galahad of Everest'.
In Anthony Geffen's 2010 documentary film about Mallory's life and final expedition, 'The Wildest Dream', Conrad Anker and Leo Houlding attempted to reconstruct the climb, dressed and equipped like Mallory and Irvine.
'Everest', a proposed Hollywood version of the 1924 attempt, adapted from Jeffrey Archer's 2009 novel 'Paths of Glory', had first Tom Hardy and then Benedict Cumberbatch slated to play Mallory, by 2014 it was evident that the film was no longer in production. As of late 2021, it is in production again, with Ewan McGregor starring as Mallory.
In April 2015, it was announced that Michael Sheen would play Mallory in a biopic titled 'In High Places', to be written and directed by James McEachen, but as of 2020, McEachen's website stated that it had not been funded.
Tragedy in the mountains has proved a recurring theme in the Mallory line. Mallory's younger brother, Air Chief Marshal Sir Trafford Leigh-Mallory, met his death on a mountain range when the Avro York carrying him to his new appointment as Air Commander-in-Chief of South East Asia Command crashed in the French Alps in 1944, killing all on board.
A memorial window to George Mallory along with a memorial plaque to Trafford can be found at St. Wilfrid's Church, Mobberley.
Mallory's daughter, Frances Clare, married physiologist Glenn Allan Millikan, who was killed in a climbing accident in Fall Creek Falls State Park, Tennessee.
Frances Mallory's son, Richard Millikan, became a respected climber during the 1960's and '70's. Mallory's grandson, also named George Mallory, reached the summit of Everest in 1995 via the North Ridge with six other climbers as part of the American Everest Expedition of 1995. He left a picture of his grandparents at the summit, citing "unfinished business".
Belgian rock band Girls in Hawaii's song "Mallory's Height" on their 2013 album 'Everest' is a homage to Mallory.

你在作品中想要表达什么？
希望通过我们的作品来向世界展现一个历史五千年的中国。
（一） .整幅画面选取京剧演员的局部其含义在于：
1 京剧是中华民族的艺术瑰宝，是中国的国粹。
2 京剧艺术发展的历史虽然仅一百多年，但却是在许多古老的戏曲基础之上形成和发展起来的——正如建国后的新中国虽然年轻，却背后积淀着历史几千年的灿烂文明。
3中国人对京剧的感情是复杂的：一方面珍视它百年来积淀的传统风韵，一方面却又期待它兼备上现代化的精神——正如今天的中国肩负着既要传承历史优秀传统同时又要跟得上时代步伐的双重任务。
4 京剧表演最大的特点在于其时空的不受限制,环境变化极其自由——意喻着今天的中国在国际全球化自由的大舞台上，定将得到充分和繁荣的发展!
(二) 精选的图片与演员的头饰和眼球结合的意义在于：
1 头饰处选贴的图片包含了中华民族的昨天：曾经创造的辉煌与忍受的屈辱——集中展示了她的饱经沧桑……（像秦汉兵马俑，古代四大发明，辛亥革命，鸦片战争，开国大典……等）
2 眼球处选贴的图片包含了今天中国的新貌：勇于创新，团结和谐，众志成城！（如抗洪，新“三农”政策，“飞人”刘翔，北京申奥……等）
3 直面观众则象征着中华民族满载的昨天，自强自信的今天和对明天美好地期待！！！！！
3.If you are the winner of the Award, what would you like to say?
如果你得到大奖，你最想说的是什么？
我很高兴，也很荣幸大家对我这幅艺术作品的认可。我是始终怀着一种对她（my country）的敬重与爱来创作这幅作品的，它几乎包含了我二十年来成长岁月中对她的所有理解，我相信她的美丽和沧桑会影响我一生的艺术事业！
感谢评委会，感谢所有给与我支持的朋友，家人和老师，感谢我的同学也是我的搭档郝金芝。
4.Other comments or suggestions 其他评论或建议:
希望以后这样的活动会多开展一些，希望各个国家的艺术工作者都能更多，更自由的交流，为让我们的世界变成一个真正的“地球村”而今一份力量与爱。
