Sherpa: The people who first climbed Mt. Everest | SLICE

[@tomashertz1155]

It cannot be said enough times: No one reaches the summit of Everest without the Sherpas. NO ONE past, present or future, including the greatest Western mountaineers, so show some humility. If you did not carry all the supplies to ABC, if you did not fix all the rope and the ladders yourself, you did not solo independently. FULL STOP!

We climbed Kala Patar, a trekking peak that does not require oxygen or special gear, just to enjoy looking at Everest. We spent 45 minutes at the top and we were the only ones there. I will always treasure that memory. And of course the Sherpas were part of all of it.

[@WhitneyDahlin]

It's not just about that. It's about the companies exploiting these people. If one of these Sherpas die and way more Sherpas die every single year on the mountain than tourists do. Their family gets $10,000. That's it and that's only enough to sustain them for 2 years tops. Less if they have children of school age. I don't think it's impressive if you claim you climb Mount Everest but a sherpa carried all of your stuff on their back. It shouldn't even count. It's not even impressive when someone tells me they've climbed Mount Everest now I'm just like oh so you had someone else do all the hard work for you including lay the lines and you just waltzed up there and acted like you did something😂 come back when you did K2 because you have to carry all of your stuff and lay the lines yourself then I'll be impressed. 🙄 Tourists are destroying the mountain. Do you know how much trash and s*** is on the mountain. These companies you sign up with are taking advantage of the Sherpas and paying them barely above the average wage for work that's so much more difficult and dangerous. Don't climb Mount Everest at all if you really care about the Sherpas.

You have been in Sherpa land ever since your plane to Lukla flew over Jiri about 50 km distant. 3:36 Tengboche monastery with about 60 sangha is not the largest monastery in the Khumbu area, Thupten Choling north of Jumbesi has over 400 monks and nuns. 8:19 Babu Chiri had climbed Everest 12 times not two. The last time I met him in 1998 he already had 7 Everest summits under his belt. I walked with him in 1985 and -86 and taught him how to use crampons and rope. I expected more accuracy from a person who had climbed Everest already in the seventies.

It's a Rich people game/ sport, seldom the cost of climbing is presented, it cost a lot! I learned that during my research on Mt Kilimanjaro in 2019. I decided not to go and crossed it off my bucket list. I went to enjoy myself for 3 weeks at the Turkish Rivera instead. It's a completely different journey but I don't have anything to prove to anyone. I accepted that I have an injury and just take it easy. The closest thing I did was in September 2021, to hike the Moses mountain at the Egypt Sinai peninsula. With the help of camel Ride 90% of the journey, the Sherpa wearing flip flops, we climbed the last steep 45 min to the top for the 5am sunrise. I was picked up from hotel at 8 pm the night before, got to the bottom of the mountain by midnight and started the climb. On the way down, we stopped at the St Catherine monastery, saw the BURNING BUSH from the ancient site.it was a spiritual journey, but I don't want to ride the camel up/ down the mountain anymore 😳😥
