It's absolutely unacceptable that we as a "society" have embraced historical Polar Explorer RPF and yet fail to do the same for mountaineering.

There are cold queercoded people in the Himalayas too.

The next season of The Terror should focus on Sandy Irvine and George Mallory. Would be another wonderful set for a what if story about monsters in the snow. And given it was only the two of them it would be so much frightening. Maybe Sandy’s camera is missing because it contains imagine of a beast. What if on his body is the picture of George’s wife. Who in George’s last breaths, asked Sandy to take it to the top. What if the picture is at the top, but never seen cos Sandy’s body is buried or torn apart by some creature.

Ok so apparently George Mallory had outstanding climbing talent. He was not only a Rich British Dude in the 1920s with imperialist hunger . (I guess for almost (or actually) climbing Mt Everest twice during the 1920s you did have to be quite good lol)

There are some pics here of the man showing off

Ok.

His granddaughter says that people used to say he had a very specific way of climbing. Different to other people's. On the documentary I saw this interview in, they showed a picture that made me TRULY BELIEVE he was Actually a Climbing Freak TM.

Cause wtf is this

(he's the cryptid at the top ofc. Like ok I believe now. That's scary af)
