In the northeast of Nepal lies the Khumbu region, also known as the Everest region where the Himalayan Sherpa people reside. Khumbu is also home to the legendary Sherpa Tenzing Norgay, whose legacy lives on as the first person to scale Mount Everest.
Passang Nima, a 25-year-old local Sherpa, makes a living by carrying the bags of foreign visitors who opt to climb Everest. Just like Passang, many Himalayan Sherpa’s lives revolve around the world’s highest mountain.

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.

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.

Nonetheless, the documentary was clear to indicate who climbed Everest on certain dates, etc. But never mentioned the Sherpas names. They were the backbone of this successful enterprise and didn't even merit mentioning their names! Disappointed once again (why I will never know) in the arrogance of people.
