I came here after watching Sherpa in Netflix, and I found out that I'm not the only one feeling the same about Russel and other foreigners. Without the Sherpas , not 1 can climb ME

I have a soft spot for tenzing norgay. He just smiled and later admitted he wish he had never climbed Chumolongmo. Thats a huge statement considering what he did.

i just finished watching the movie. i'd be lying if i'd say i wasn't moved at all. some parts have brought me to tears. massive massive respect to Sherpas.

Just watched this movie on Netflix, so well shot and emotional too. I felt so uncomfortable with certain tourists who had come to climb the mountain and also Russell the coordinator of the expidition. Some parts made me feel they were so ignorant towards the culture of the locals, they clearly didn't want to climb because they believe God resides in the mountain and the God wasn't happy but they made it a whole political thing and started calling it a terrorist captivity, they lost 13 sherpas 3 bodies not found and they think the decision was taken only by a few? People in developing countries are more close knit, they aren't individualistic, they grow with their family and continue to live with their family even after they turn 18 years old because they believe they should be there for their elders. How can you just decide that the Sherpas were being threatened, they probably decided it because they take those 13 men who died as family, at least give them some time to grieve.

Oh my word this is an amazing idea. The government need to be more strict on numbers on the mountain too. Poor Everest is an abused mountain. 😢

Russell showed that he is only interested in making money from Everest and from Sherpas. He has no compassion for the families of those who were killed in the avalanche and called the Sherpas a mob just because they wanted better conditions to work in and get better paid for doing most of the work involved in getting climbers up Everest. I hope an avalanche gets him one day.

Just watched the film. Russel Brice is an unbelievable orientalist rich coloniser, calling Sherpas who didn’t want to disrespect their dead fallen comrades memory by climbing over their still fresh bodies renegades? The way he kept patronising them and calling these grown men boys, treating their righteous anger as childish? What a filthy man. I hope an avalanche gets him and he gets as much respect as he gives the good Sherpa people, less than none. I am so saddened by the fact that Tenzing Norgay suffered so much and regretted ever climbing the mountain and I am glad to se his children defend his legacy and his opinions. Westerns need to stop climbing this mountain. Their arrogance is just as tall and it is shocking. That is the finest mountain in the world and is sacred to many people,it is not a bucket list or selfie destination.

Woww the Sherpa are truly beautiful people who have so much respect for the mountain and life, I also love the respect the Sherpa men show to their wives and families and am in awe of them. If I had the money to come out Nepal I would sooner give my money to a family there or a community than climb the mountain, as that would be way more beautiful as respectful under the vision of the mountain. That Russell needs to go back to his own country and learn respect as I imagine all he sees are dollar figures when he looks at them beautiful spirits. I watched the video and was saddened by the use of words that some of those foreigners used, some of them have way too much ego... If any of the Sherpa read this then I'd like to say not everyone from other countries is like that. Respect!

I agree. Sherpas are famous for being climbers, and the mountain is family, mother, God. It's their culture, their life. Quite the opposite of these Westerners that have money to climb high mountains; no feelings, no respect, no consideration for the locals. It's all about "points", medals on the wall. Well, these arrogant foreigners should make sure they don't leave their junk behind... and assure that those incredible guides, not servants, return safely home.

It's so disgusting how they show sherpa people , we sherpa people are born in the mountains , we love our mountains and nature better not make it ridiculous . Western people won't understand what nature and our mountains means to us

It’s ok to go up the mountain but no inexperience people plz, they don’t know how to mountaineer and therefore don’t respect the environment or know when its no longer safe to continue. The more I Learn about this the more disgusted I become of the sport, just a bunch of hubris and ego. It’s ok to have some but there has to be some balance between that and common sense. It’s not only their lives that are put at risk. If it were I would say have at it, the way you choose to die is your choice but looking at it closer I realize they don’t even set up their own camp and prepare for the hike. They make it too easy and it attracts the wrong type of crowd. The sherpas are essentially doing all the work and heavy lifting for them. How could they be proud and call their summit an accomplishment in that case? It defeats the point. I’m not saying it’s not hard, I’m just saying what they think they accomplished when they get there is not worth what they think it does and definitely not what it perhaps used to be before. Not when so many Sherpa can go up and down back and forth essentially baby seating and saving the novice who went up there unprepared.

I have a lot of respect for Sherpa's but not this new militant generation. No one is forcing them to climb and danger is part of the job description. The work they do is amazing but they get the work simply because they're there and it's economically viable. You could put a hundred acclimatised western climbers on Everest to do the same job and it would be done but it would be at least ten times more expensive. People should appreciate the Sherpa's but they should appreciate everyone else too.

Your last comment ‘....appreciate everyone else too.....” you mean those arrogant, rich, entitled *ars*holes* tourist supposed climbers.

Sherpas have genetic advantages from generations at altitude that short-term acclimatizing will not give you. The Everest industry absolutely depends on Sherpas and anyone who says otherwise is lying to themself

The film is a left-wing drumbeat for victimhood - let's not bother working, as it's now too dangerous - let's go back to being on the breadline or having our government subsidise our living. The Aussie owner of the climbing company said it right - if the Sherpas don't carry on working then they will have to go back to poverty - sounds harsh but that's how the world works.

Perhaps! But this is no reason to push or boss the locals around. Oh, yes... and clean your junk before you leave... I'm sure Sherpas are tired of finding bodies and junk.

The Sherpas are still in tune with the mountains and have respect for their sister Everest. However maybe western people need to think that the mountain just doesn’t want you there. It is littered and she is angered. 🏔
