Sherpa's are AWESOME HEROS! I did the Everest Base Camp trek (old trek from Jiri to Gorok Shep) in '95 with my husband & we did not use the services of either local porters or guides, carrying our own gear, tent, food etc & got hopelessly lost in a sudden snow storm near Lamjura La. I cried in the tent that night & wished we had a Sherpa Angel to guide our way. So many wonderful memories in this film. My deepest love, honour & massive respect to all Sherpa people xx V.H England.

[@jenmb2679]

Ive watched 3 documentaries on mt. Everest. This is the first one that even mentions sherpas. They are true heroes, and arent paid enough, thats putting it lightly

[@ThatSB]

Their low pay is why they are there. Otherwise theyd bring westerners

[@incidentalist]

Eh, they get paid well especially compared to average wages in Nepal...... Many make their livelihoods on this mountain.

[@TrueredsunitedTv]

Hang on a moment if people wouldn't be able to climb the mountain without sherpas then how does that make sherpas hero's because if they cannot even get up the mountain they wouldn't need saving or guiding because they wouldn't even be in that position jn the first place to be even able to climb the mountain if anything sherpas actually put people on the mountain by offering them a service then get called hero's that dose. Not make sense Actually think about it they offer a service to. Mountaineering company's to get novice climbers up the mountain nobody forces them. If their services was not available and their was no such thing as a *sherpa* then their would. Be way less people dying on the mountain because they simply would never be able to do it in the dam. First place this is a major flaw people have missed with the sherpas actually offering a carry you up. The mountain service they actually invite novice climbers to the mountain.... And then you. Will say its their way of making money we'll then why blame westerners it makes ZERO sense

These guys are definitely humble to carry a bunch of egomaniac assholes crap up Everest and only get paid 5k. To risk their lives for these idiots because they hold principals and honor of their shirpa position so highly, is impressive. That’s definitely humility. These guys are 4 times the man any of the so-called “professional mountaineers” are. They shouldn’t even be taking credit for the climb! They should say “my shirpa carried me up Everest”...

Sort of humbling isn't it. They deserve much respect and all the glory. We never see the Sherpa's in most of the films about the mountain. In some you do, but the climbers always claim the glory for having climbed the mountain. Now I know that they would have NEVER made it without the Sherpa. Very good video as It really brings to light who the true mountaineers are. It was sad to know how long they are away from their families during their jobs. Hopefully they make enough money to support them well.

[@82566]

From other documentaries I've watched neither Sherpa or Porters get paid nearly enough for the supplies they carry or lives they save its disgusting not enough respect given to these Mountain Angels .

[@darrellroeters4951]

Heard one climb can pay their yearly income.

[@Fleurae]

They don’t get paid that much to someone in Europe or the UK but in Nepal they make 100x more than someone who isn’t a Sherpa or porter. But that doesn’t change the fact it should be paid way more. Each “mountaineer” pays about 40k-100k USD for the service. The organizations get most of it but the sherpas are paid like 5-8K USD which is a lot to them but still. They should at least be paid 10K or more. And each expedition could have up to 30 mountaineers

[@glow1815]

I've watched just about all of Everest documentaries. This is one of the greatest documentary.

[@MJLeger-yj1ww]

This majestic mountain, Mt. Everest, BELONGS to the sherpas. They make it possible for the thousands who have climbed it since 1953, and will continue to always be an integral part of the Mountain! Occasionally, but rarely, they will lose their life, most likely in helping a climber in a difficult situation. They are the spirit of the Mountain, it's life blood and always will be! Bless them as they continue to make it possible for all who climb and summit Mt. Everest.

Yes but they also put their lives on the line everytime. 1 third of every people that die are Sherpas. They have families and well they don't really have any other option for putting food on the table. So i respect them for those reasons. Not cause they can climb better cause they live there.

That's what I like; when the sherpa's get the recognition they so deserve! If it wasn't for the Sherpa's very few "rich kids" would ever summit let alone climb it safely. Thanx Sherpa's

[@wmnoffaith1]

Exactly.....rich kids expresses it well. Many are just people not in physical shape, and with no hiking experience even. But they have $65,000 and a desire to post on their Instagram that they summited, so they risk everyone's lives, mainly the poor sherpas. The rich socialite who summited in 2019 had her sherpa drag up her specialty cappuccino maker and her gourmet coffee beans. These are the "necessities" the poor sherpas have to carry. And the rich kids brag about it, instead of realizing how ridiculous and shallow they appear.

The crap that climbers leave behind after they finish climbing is polluting Mt Everest.

It's a good idea, but fallible, because who would police that action? People NEED to be respectful of the sherpa's sacred mountain and NOT pee, poop, throw their food wrappers and trash, shed clothes, used empty oxygen bottles, etc. on the Mountain! And every year, someone dies in the Death Zone and they are NOT RECOVERABLE so they stay there, half frozen into the snow and used for markers in some cases. i don't know how long the Mountain can tolerate people desecrating it every year with their junk and bodies, more and more climb every year, 11 so far this year in 2019 and it's only the first of June. Since it is Nepal's primary source of income, they will never ban climbing on it. Such a shame what has happened to Mt. Everest.

I thoroughly enjoyed this variation on climbing documentaries, with the focus on those people who do all the real work and make the so-called "conquest" of mountains by foreigners possible (I doubt that either the mountains or the Sherpas feel that anything's been "conquered"). The Sherpas have been making Himalayan climbing and trekking possible since their beginnings; they have been incredibly generous in opening their country to outsiders, and it was wonderful to gain some insight into how this hardy, adaptable culture lives.

I'm not sure I'd describe the Sherpas as "un-sung heroes". Anyone who doesn't recognise the vital part they play in climbing Everest is a complete fool! Anyone who has been on an 8000m expedition knows the huge efforts they put in and the risks they take to allow rich westerners to fulfill their dreams. They certainly don't get paid enough though and some clients with summit fever may loose sight of their humanity but very few climbers doubt the vital role they play. I personally have nothing but admiration and a deep affection for these great people.

[@johns.1857]

I agree, but the idea that climbing Everest for the "rich westerners" is easy is just plain silly. Being rich doesn't make climbing a mountain any easier. Messner, a "rich westerner" climbed Everest solo without oxygen. No one helped him. Also, these people ARE NOT RICH!!! When is the last time you meet a professional mountaineer who was a millionaire? Uhhhh... never...!!! These people either spend every single cent they have to climb Everest, or they are sponsered by a company. Either way, the idea that its easier for them then the Sherpas is silly. Everyone who climbs that mountain deserves equal credit.

what's stopping the sherpa community from starting their own guide businesses, and competing with the western guide companies? i know if i were inclined to climb everest, and i never will be, because i'd never be fit enough to survive that, i'd choose a sherpa-run guide company over any of those western-run guide companies, to get me safely up and back down the mountain. understand, i don't know the particulars about what the western-run guide companies provide to their clients, other than guidance, but it seems if people are paying in advance, to get up and down that mountain, the market would be available for a sherpa-run business to purchase what is necessary for their clients, to get up and down the mountain, same as the western-run companies. pretty sure people bring their own gear, to climb with. $50k a head, for clients seems like a lot better than the $2-$5k per season sherpas earn, individually. anyway, i've recently been fascinated with watching shows and reading about the people who climb everest, and it seems like the sherpas are some of the kindest hearted, most decent people in the world, and the amount of work they do is incredible. it's a cottage industry, and it seems to me it ought to be in the hands of the people who live there. they ought to at least be competing with the westerners who are there engaging in that enterprise. i hope to see that happen for the sherpa people, one day, and soon.

[@howlinsg1968]

They don't live in poverty, they live humbly. The west live too easy and someday they will pay dearly for it.

[@nadinecollins4443]

daintellekt you bullshitting bastard they make 12 grand a year the average wage in Nepal is 500 dollar the good Sherpas are gone the ones there are evil little bastards they tried to murder ulie steck because he was a better climber than all them 19 of them attacked three guys then they got 80 more from camp 2 smashing rocks at them and trying to hit them with ice axes there trying to murder westerners all the time 100 against three so much for the noble Sherpa

[@goddammitalana]

nadine vennard do you know of any videos or websites that talk about what you mentioned? id be very interested in learning about that if you had a good link to share.

[@blazed1945]

Azo-Dye Vernichtung how will we pay dearly for it you fuckin clown tell your third world shit hole to get there fucking act together

[@jclemme1]

@@goddammitalana Ueli Steck took advantage of the route (fixed ropes etc.) established by the Sherpa's, but wouldn't pay for it like every other expedition. They got pissed off as they usually do in these situations. They risk their lives establishing the route through the Khumbu Icefall, the Lhotse Face and the SE ridge and expect to get paid accordingly. I would too.

Nice to see someone acknowledging the hard work of the Sherpas. Almost all of the people who can boast of reaching the summit could only do it with the support of the Sherpas

If you didn't know before watching this video....This life is not for everyone.

[@luzatahualpa9985]

Los sherpas son personas de corazón compasivo y admiro su forma de ser, la manera de cuidar a los montañistas, hacen su trabajo con responsabilidad y compasión y sienten ese amor al prójimo que en nuestros días se ve muy poco, los Sherpas al igual que pocas personas que viven en lugares remotos están en peligro de extinción (mi opinión personal). De todos los documentales que eh visto sobre el everest ésta es la que más me gusta porque enseña como son las personas menos mostradas de tantas ascensiones al everest.

Sherpas - respect for these noble people

[@testet22]

Yes Dear Joe , alpine-style climbers are hard too , but In Himalaia, I folow Sherpas. Reinhold Messner (climbing legend) and others from the alps are excellent, I agree with you. this documentary is a small tribute to these people humility, commitment, kindness, resilience, strength .... moreover they are locals, born there, are the sons of the mountains. No more, much respect to all these brave climbers: Sherpas, solo climbers, Alpine styles. Hugs

Very interesting. Thank you so much for sharing.

Very interesting documentary, thanks for the upload.

[@Random360M]

"Sherpas are superheroes." Wanna know the reason? Climb with them 😂

[@xLadyMystiquex]

Was Phurba in "Everest: Beyond the Limit"? If he was, he is a beast. Such a great Sherpa!

[@syedbilal3905]

Respect for Sherpas. From pakistan.

[@uzzaldebbarma5745]

god bless to anyone who climb Everest and the sherpas who put their lives in danger it amazes me for people to help other people being paid or not it's helping either way

[@ramaroodle]

I love how at 7:47 the Brits are carrying day packs and the sherpas are absolutely loaded down with gear, yet the video is all about how the Brits set out to climb Everest.

[@sanskritikharel5236]

And its my dream to climb sagarmatha (mt Everest ) as I am Nepali I think I will do it one day when I will be big really wanna do this 😭😭😍😍🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵

[@guardiansanimalrescuestate7289]

I just learned last week on Ask A Mortitian's you tube channel about all the dead bodies that are still on Everest. Evidently, it's so dangerous, that it's not worth the risk to retrieve a body. Just creepy. For that reason alone, I wouldn't ever go up here.

[@whisperingwhiskerss4877]

Sherpas are amazing people 😳 generations of natural mountaineers 🏔

How in the hell is this titled FULL when it clearly is cut off at the end?!?
