Jake Norton & MountainWorld Photography Present:

A view of the Second Step on Mount Everest's
Northeast Ridge as seen from roughly
Noel Odell's position on June 8, 1924, when
he made his final, famed sighting of George Mallory
& Andrew Irvine as they struggled toward the summit.

The Northeast Ridge of Everest taken at 11:31 AM on May 18, 2004,
from roughly Noel Odell's vantage point when he last sighted
Mallory & Irvine on June 8, 1924. Note that this image was
taken with a 50mm focal length which is the rough equivalent of
the human eye, thus replicating approximately what Noel Odell
Would have been able to see.

11:33 AM on May 18, 2004, again from roughly Noel Odell's vantage
point when he last sighted Mallory & Irvine on June 8, 1924. Note that now climbers are clearly visible at Mushroom Rock, on
the Second Step, on the Third Step, and one can be made out
on the summit pyramid.
