I never imagined in my wildest dreams that the sherpas do just about everything for the climbers.Carry ladders, guide ropes, tents, oxygen bottles, food, kerocene set up tents, and that is just the start of it. All the climbers have to do is turn up and climb.

Most of the climbers are almost oblivious to the fact that sherpas do most of their job in the background.

The Sherpas are the only reason these climbers can make it. Imagine hauling your own equipment. Sherpas are the heroes.

I'm not sure how to feel about Everest tourism. On the one hand it is a huge economic benefit to Nepal, on the other many Sherpas have lost their lives. One thing I'm sure of though is the Sherpas are absolutely incredible. What an inspiration for what people can achieve.

I believe the Sherpa's should get paid much better for all they do. Thank you wonderful documentary.

The average salary in Nepal is around 8,000 USD a year or 667 a month. The sherpas are being paid 5,000 USD for 2 months or 2,500 a month by the expedition. I presume the Nepal government also pays for work outside of that time. They may also get tips from the individual climbers. As I understand it, much of the time on Everest is spent waiting for the weather to be favourable for climbing. I'm not passing comment on whether it's enough, just comparing to the country's average.

I can't help but wonder why they have to keep bringing in so many new ladders every year for a climbing season. Surely if the expeditions have to pack out the other things they took up the mountain they would also have to collect the ladders from the icefall. It seems like these same expedition companies that are there year after year would be able to stash reusable hard items such as ladders close by. Yet every video I've seen they are using new ladders every year. It seems like somebody should open a business very close to the basecamp and rent good equipment so it doesn't have to be packed in so far, year after year.

Yes, among other crazy choices that are made in pursuit of cramming as many summits into a climbing season as possible. The Sagarmatha National Park or the wider Nepal gov't at some point has to put its foot down to account for some of these practices. Possibly a substantial permit fee addition when opting to summit without O2, this could be set to statistically cover the cost of the risk imposed, for body disposal or injuries sustained. This may provide a compensation for those injured when attempting to help a hurting non-O2 climber. Climbers could just agree to ban the practice altogether as it seems to be a small minority of those who think it some accomplishment to purposefully destroy one's body within a zone that is uninhabitable by humans. Whatever the solution... something to organize this madness that is hurting innocent people, often the Sherpa people.

He said all the hardships/difficulties done by Sherpas are not recognized by these Western clients when they go back to their home country and share their experiences summiting the Everest.

Heck, have you never gone to the beach for the day and realized you forgot something? A bit "unspoken" but I'm still wondering if they have portable bathrooms, and how one goes about that in that weather, and how many rolls of toilet paper are supplied, or if you're expected to bring your own?

Thank you for uploading these wonderful films, Mr. Snow

1:32:26 translate not done correct... the guy is saying foreigners say sherpa are very good but when they return to their respective country they get fame but they forget sherpas . Whole video is documented great.

Please! Please,pay these brave men well . They work so hard to make your vision come true. They are risking their lives for you. Pay therm well! Be generous and be kind.

If the expedition management doesn't want to pay, it could be a resposibility of each climber to pay a service fee to his/her/their Sherpa. If they can afford to go to Everest, they can pay 20-25% of Sherpa's salary as a tip.

I've never once attempted everest. I have no desire to. But I have been to Nepal and did take part in a paid expedition around the region. Got to meet sherpas. They are the nicest people I've ever come across, and I genuinely feel respect for them. It's a shame how they get exploited. And it's one of the many reasons I'll never pay to climb everest. Or even climb everest in general. I understand it is a sacred mountain. It's not meant for my feet to tread upon it

Always been amazed by Sherpas. Even as a young kid I was astounded with how the Sherpas seemed to be beyond human with their ability to survive

Thanks for posting this , I would be happy getting to base camp . Respect to these guys for what they do to give their families a better life .

This Swiss children and his family who makes big $ on these sherpas for good education and lavish lifestyle should be ashamed too…

The payload of the Sherpas is mind blowing. I wish one day they have the ability to bargain.

A sherpas life is worth so much more than 5000 dollars. Not only that but only paying someone 5 grand to make sure you don't die is also a way low number. I love climbing but knowing this I now have a different view of climbing these mountains. The sherpas were always my heros even before I knew the level of difficulty they face on the mountain.

After I watch this if I heard a westerner say I have conquered mt Everest, I would slap him or her. Because sherpas are the one who carried them all the way up to top.

So sorry for JONNY rest in peace bro... You are in the arms of Mount everest rest in peace and great work and respect to SHERPAS.... KEEP GOING GUYS

Nice to see a video of the real hero's. The Sherpas are amazing how strong and dedicated & humble these men are. A great story.

The Sherpas are the dream makers. Without good Sherpas there would be very few successful summits.

I just learned that several of these amazing Sherpas died in the 2014 ice avalanche. Rest In Peace to those incredible souls 😢

Big respect to all SHERPAS!

The Sherpas make so many trips between camps! So much pressure on them to appear strong and provide the momentum to get their clients up to the summit. They work through pain. The poor Sherpas have to return to the scene of previous disasters where they lost friends. Sherpas are incredible.

Sherpas' effort hardly ever get mentioned on climber's blog. Also imagine the feeling of Sherpas family when a Sherpa said "I am going up to the mountain for few days......"

Lots & lots of respect for the Sherpas

How could Giannis friend the doctor not know what was happening?? Imo if you are attempting without oxygen, you should be denied a Sherpa. This is not their responsibility for foolhardy, recklessness. There is already enough danger. This is unacceptable trauma for them.

They are a very hard working group of people. In fact, many Nepalis are hard working and has always been .... Their hard work always comes not just physically but mentally too as well. The strength they possess is incomparable.

All I have to say good job to the sherpas and great documentary . Those guys are a heros and also sacrify their lifes, and a big condolences to Johnny´s family for their lost.

Sherpas are the real heros, powerful human beings.. I am proud of their hard-work 🙏 god bless them .. thanks for the creator of this video who shot the entire video along with sherpas, he is a true gentleman for narrating and showing us the truth behind sherpas lives👍.. good documentary 👍

Back to 1953 when Sir Edmund Hilarry able to the summit of Mount Everest,there were Sherpa who help him to fulfill his dream,and the sherpa was Tenzing Norkay and he was the second man that did to the summit of that majestic mountain,well done to all the Sherpa that give all of his abilities to fullfill all of the expediter 💪👍📢

To the future climbers, give credits, recognize and pay sherpas well. Their names should known around the world. Now, change ur instagram captions saying "I climbed Everest with the fully help of *****Sherpa."

$4500 USD to $5500 USD for accomplishing superhuman task and risking their lives in the process. I don't know what to say to this. Also, if they die up their, hope their family gets well compensated. I'm from Bangladesh, and we have a lot of respect for the Sherpa's. They are the pride of Asia.

I’m gonna tell you these expedition owners thought process…it’s a wrong way to think but this is what I’ve gathered from multiple docs. These expedition companies think that if they pay them more (ie what they’re work would be valued at and cost if they lived in a western country) then they will get “to big for their britches” and reach above “their station” and either create their own expedition companies OR work a decade or less, retire and live like kings. They’re afraid of losing what THEY KNOW is required for the expeditions to succeed…the Sherpa. I personally hope they do start more of their own expeditions and make all the profit. FFS, it’s THEIR sacred mountain. They could EASILY figure out the logistics of scheduling and managing their own climbers. I personally would PREFER signing up with someone that’s located IN the country they’re creating plans for bc they know all the ins and outs of travel,lodging,food,etc of the area vs someone that’s coordinating a trip from halfway across the world. Anyways, there it is. That’s why they aren’t paid a good salary by western standards

Wow, what a life they have. They are saviors. HEROS I feel inspired.

Beautiful documentary of a team of HERO Sherpas ❤❤️❤️❤️thankyou

I think I’ve watched this video over ten times and I never get tired of it. The Sherpa are such humble people, ever watching over the westerners keeping them safe. I think I tear up every time I watch Long Dorje Sherpa explain why he didn’t receive a proper education. It would be a true honor to meet him. Although I’ve never climbed higher than 14,000 feet, I know the work and true grit to conquer a mountain. I think I’ve mentioned before but I would LOVE to travel to base camp to just take in the whole experience of helping a westerner reach the top of the world. I still feel the adrenaline rush of climbing and reaching the apex of a beautiful mountain! I am fortunate to live in Colorado, born and raised on my family’s cattle ranch. I’m a retired federal law enforcement officer that took a beating, physically and mentally, and I really think my artificial knees and crushed disks in the lumbar area would restrict me drastically as I’m still awaiting surgery. Who knows, y’all might see me at base camp someday! I truly thank the people who made this video. I don’t think there’s an end to learning about these humble yet strong people!
