Everest 2024 /Unsung Heroes of Everest: The Icefall Doctors sherpa
Learn about the unsung heroes of Everest expeditions, the Icefall Doctors. Despite their critical role, their names are rarely known beyond Nepal. Celebrate their dedication and bravery.
The Icefall Doctors are a team of Sherpa climbers who are responsible for establishing and maintaining the climbing route through the treacherous Khumbu Icefall on Mount Everest each climbing season. Their job is extremely dangerous as the icefall is constantly moving, and ice towers can collapse at any time.
The Icefall Doctors place ladders across deep crevasses and fix ropes along the route from Everest Base Camp to Camp 2 in the Western Cwm. This essential work allows climbers to safely ascend and descend the icefall, which is considered one of the most dangerous sections of the Everest climbing route.
The team is selected and paid by the Sagarmatha Pollution Control Committee (SPCC), an organization that manages the Everest region on behalf of the Nepalese government. Each expedition member must pay $600 for the Icefall Doctors' services.
Some notable Icefall Doctors include Ang Nima Sherpa, who worked in the icefall for 37 years before passing away in 2013, and Ang Sarki Sherpa, the current senior member of the team who has been an Icefall Doctor since 2008. Gelje Sherpa, a famous Nepalese mountaineer who has climbed 13 of the 14 eight-thousanders, also started his career as an Icefall Doctor.
Despite their critical role in enabling Everest expeditions, the Icefall Doctors remain unsung heroes, with their names rarely mentioned beyond Nepal. Their work is a testament to the skill, bravery, and dedication of the Sherpa people who make climbing Everest possible for many foreign climbers each year.

I was also told they smoke
Sherpalar olmadan en eski teknolojiyle en yüksek dağlara çıkan efsaneler oldu tarihte.Teknoloji büyüdükçe dağlara tırmanış yinede kolaylaşmadı.Fakat zamanla teknolojiyle birlikte dağa tırmanmalar biraz olsun kolaylaşacak gibi..Ayrıca bu belgesel film muhteşem bir çalışma olmuş.Bu filmde emeği olan herkese sonsuz teşekkürler.Efsane bir dağ filmi olmuş müthiş.Dünyadaki tımanılan bütün dağların gerçek sahipleri Sherpalardır...
Хорошо показано - важно, что без лишней болтовни и текста. Работа наверху - проверка себя на прочность, зная что ты можешь - очень пригодится в жизни!
❤

Wow
Was die Sherpas leisten ist schon übermenschlich! Sie müssten deutlich mehr an Geld bekommen, denn sie sind es, die ALLES vorbereiten , trotz Risiko ihres Lebens😢 alles Gute für diese Männer und Frauen ❤
😃😯😃😃
the real mountaineers are the sherpas, practically everyone else ropes them in with harnesses and oxygen and puts us on the top of the mountain

Jestem tu od Sztytomaniak 😮
I pray all everyone's Safe returns homes bye guy's
Жаль нет перевода на русский язык ( обожаю горы и все что с ними связано😊
Я думаю, что Эверест должен принадлежатьтолько спортсменам!! Иначе, нсли туда будут лезть туристы, изгадят горы Эвереста..сколько отходов уже видно там...начинают строить бащы отдыха и все тут! Погибнет нетронутая природа!!
Omg I knew they did a lot of work. Like a lot. But this is....a huge eye opener to just how badass they are. On like god tier badasses.
All the climbers: I summited Mount Everest Every Sherpa: nah bro, you couldn’t And wouldn’t without US!!!!!
I HELPED MYSELF TO A NICE WATCH FROM ONE OF THE DEAD

I'd like to see you go do what they do. You couldn't. So shut up.
Just build a hotel up there and get it over. All about the $$$$$$$, Im waiting for a 10year old to summit
These guys eat better than me!!!
I really want to climb Everest since childhood, it's my dream and will do it one day. Can anybody sponsor me for that?
On oikein vaatia lupa kortti joka edellyttää suoritusta tietäminen kuoleman vaaroista, pakkaset ja muut joihin on kuolleita vuorikiipeilijöitä mennyt.vuoristokortti kaikilta kuolevan vuorille kiipeäviltä joissa on vaadittu vaaralliset olosuhteet kuoleman vaarallista vuorista. It is right to demand a permit card which requires performance knowing the dangers of death, frost and others where there have been dead mountain climbers. mountain card from all those who climb the mountains of the dying where dangerous conditions are required from the dangerous mountains of death.
I pray for everyone to safe return to home
