  • An intimate adventure gem

    Hugh has a gift for drawing out the human side of exploration - the moments of doubt, triumph and humour that do not make it into the official logs.

  • A Must-Listen for History and Adventure Lovers!

    I’m a big listener of The Rest is History and History Hit, so I’m usually pretty picky about what I add to my roster. This first episode about Mallory’s Everest climb really hooked me. It’s well-produced and covers the adventure side of history in a way I haven’t really seen other shows do yet. It’s an interesting niche and I’m definitely sticking with it. Worth a listen if you're into exploration stories!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mallory's Last Climb: What Really Happened on Everest?
Q: What was Mallory's attitude toward Everest and his role in the expeditions?
Mallory was ambivalent and often reluctant, but his social and leadership influence, plus the promise of fame and the chance to finish unfinished business, drew him into the 1924 expedition; he also valued sociability and the experience of climbing.
Mallory's Last Climb: What Really Happened on Everest?
Q: When did people start talking about climbing Everest, and what changed politically to allow exploration?
Political changes, including Tibet and Nepal becoming more open to Britain after World War I and strategic alliances with Britain, eventually allowed climbs, with permission granted around 1920.
