The lady chopping wood at 10.00 came on one of Harald Baldr videos. She has a tea house now. Go to his channel to see him climbing the mountain and going to the tea houses along the trekk

Cant imagine carrying loads up to mountain and anchor down due to constant freezing winds and dangerous avalanches.

No people here, with power over other peoples lives, isn't this the ultimate meaning of freedom.

[@leosudarshan3676]

Intresting fact : pasung lamu shepa was the first women to climb mt.Everest (Sagarmatha)

[@lindareidy2091]

Not a very well known fact.

First! The sherpas have a genetic adaptation from Denisovans that enable them to work in the high altitudes

I don't think I understand WHY NOBODY WILL LIFT THE DEAD HUMANS STILL LAYING IN THE ICE AND SNOW and it has been well known that 3yrs & up to 20 ppl that have been taken off the mountain, FINALLY. Their answer is to those of us that are watching this DVD at this moment is: "It takes up to 3 days for their Spirit to leave the body. I understand that they don't want to interrupt the Spirit as it is trying to escape the physical body; even tho' they know it's been in the ice & snow for 16 yrs. Anybody else out there th'at's been waiting for the rest of them (their bodies) which have been well over 15 yrs & I'm sure that has been part of the agony of finding their husband's body/bodies of their family waiting for the body to join them for burial. Anyone else know the answer?

I kept thinking he was saying "Poor Tanzing"... Stupid me... At the end : Sherpa will never be forgotten. Anyone interested in the Himalayas will remember. That's quite a legacy.

[@Hollylivengood]

I love the way the monks say they have no attachments but get payed to read a book for a day.

[@tandinwangdi600]

The monks feed themselves with the money they earn from reading scriptures. One simply can't survive without food.

[@Hollylivengood]

@@tandinwangdi600 I get that. And all due respect to Budhism, I've learned a lot from it. But I have a few friends who have been monks in their early years, and they explained to me how monks are required to go begging for so much time each day, and praying for so much time each day, and teaching as well, this makes sense that they get compensated with a mutual benefit between all parties. But it does seem like the monks are amassing an amount of benefit to themselves a bit higher than the population around them.

[@tandinwangdi600]

@@Hollylivengood , Sadly many monks have become worst than the common thieves, but we can't blame them totally for their behavior because most of the monks are forced into monks at a very young age by their parents because of poverty.

[@Hollylivengood]

@@tandinwangdi600 Yes, my friend became a monk as a child. I don't know if it was forced on him, I think it was a neighborhood thing. Like people thought it was special to become a monk as a child, and most families had a child to brag about who was a monk. But he liked it, he got an education, he even learned some carpentry because the kids do most of the work, lol. Even leaving wasn't a big thing, they didn't force the issue or anything, it was just part of the cycle. But yes, like you say, some of them who stay simply learn a system and work it.

[@tandinwangdi600]

@@Hollylivengood , You are right about the family sending one of their sons to the monastery to become a monk. They believe such an act brings the family good merit in this life and the next. That was in the past but now only the poor families send their sons to become a monk.

They are speaking Tibetan ????? Oh forgot they came from Tibet

Hilary was the first to stand on the top, not Tenzing

[@Kubotahonda5]

Real truth is... So many sherpas put their feet on the Everest and many other Himalayan peaks way way before Hilary and Tenzing , but they just don’t put the records , there was a man named Lapsang Sherpa with his two brothers , they climb top of the Everest and Nuptse in 1934 and even built the ropes bridge for the Germans to climb up but Germans couldn’t make it . Those sherpas were porter and guide of 8 German nazi climber group , but Germans couldn’t get on the top ( German nazi group were in Nepal India and Tibet for scaling Everest, sent by German high command but they couldn’t succeed)

@k-14 if sherpa didnt exist yr so called hilary wold nt even pass everest 1st base camp😂.

[@KSNDXFW534D3FW3]

@@leosudarshan3676 That's probably true, but that's totally irrelevant to what I said...

[@KSNDXFW534D3FW3]

@@Kubotahonda5 Can someone who doesn't have an emotional horse in the race confirm this to be true? It's very possible, of course, that the Sherpas were scaling the Himalayas before the Europeans, but also very possible that the didn't. Before the euros came the locals didn't have sophisticated climbing gear, most viewed the mountains as sacred or home to gods, plus they had no need to risk their lives doing crazy stuns for little to no gain.
