Sherpa: The people who first climbed Mt. Everest | SLICE

- 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!
I totally agree with you
You are absolutely right!
Thats true but 99% of people still don't have what it takes its a hugeee accomplishment regardless
❤
I’m sure the ice man can
Thank you for doing this video.
THANK YOU for honouring Sherpas.
The Sherpas are the REAL and ONLY Heroes on that Summit. Praises to the Sherpas 🙏🙌👏
damn right they're the first who climb not edmund hillary. only that they're not documented
Sherpas never climbed anything as there was no reason to. Before foreigners started to pay doing it, that is.
@@karipintakivi9153 Climbing Everest is like a lifetime achievement for foreigners.
Whereas for Sherpas it's no big deal.
And I don't think any foreigner climbed Everest before couple of Sherpas did.
@@nishanpakhrin7392 Not documented and nobody aven among the Sherpas know anything about it, but you THINK couple of Shepas did it before Hillary. We can all think and dream all we want. Actually it was my granny who climbed it in the thirties, I think.
@@karipintakivi9153 Yep she was ploughed hard by Sherpas before summiting if you remember correctly.
Hermoso.s. Paisajes y bello pais
Wow a great information
I hope they pay the sherpa’s very well!!!
That's true
Pelo quê eu entendi mora people nesse lugar
Wow peautyful blace 👍✌
The first Sherpa looks so young , that’s crazy he’s climbed it 5x. He definitely seems like someone I would trust though . These guys are so hardcore .
Something needs to be done about all the garbage that is left by climbers. That should not be the responsibility of the sherpas
I know.humans leaving garbage behind on mother nature.... Yup.soon,in the future they want to pollute other pristine planets 🌕☄️🪐💫.
@@Maya_Pinion it just seems so thoughtless and entitled. Climbers are guests of this country.
Ban oxygen tanks, it will reduce climbers by 90%. The real climbers will suffice.
@@etienne7774 I agree. How presumptuous it is to leave all that garbage and expect other to pick it up
These people don’t care about your country they are there to boost their EGOw
'Sherpa' is almost like a superhuman. They work as guide, porter, cook, saver one a time.
They're more stronger than the so called world's strongest man
The Sherpas deserve all the credit for a climb. They haul all the gear, along with the poor animals, and they don't get the specialty gear.
👍🏾
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.
I'd love to see the view from there in person. I saw it on RUclips and it was absolutely amazing!!
Do you mean kala patthar?
@@amankumarsingh4497- Hi Aman. I just looked it up for the first time ever. I always just heard the name. It sounded to me like "Kala Patar." Imagine my surprise to find it was actually, as you just wrote, "Kala Patthar." So yes, indeed, that was what I meant. You got it exactly right.
@@marilyndee969 it's alright. BTW, thank you, I didn't knew about kala patthar till yesterday and now it's in my bucket list!!
any recommendations on a guide to trek? id love to get a view of everest at base camp but its been a dream of mine
Fact is without these Sherpas, even mountain climbing school staff couldn't imagine the summit 🏔️
We are proud to be Sherpa ❤️
Mountain need clean by sherpa too much garbage throw by tourist.
As you should be! ❤️💯
@@lotusman992 tourists must be responsible for their garbage, if not then they should be locked up. Sherpas should not be responsible for uneducated people
@@lotusman992😂😂😂 sorry that was funny
@@lotusman992 tourists should clean it. Imagine they came to your country ... sherpas are mountaineers, no cleaners
Early climbers who explored and made the path to the summit with minimum and simple gears back in the days, are greatest heroes of the Everest...!!
It is about time the Sherpa’s are credited. As a child I was less impressed that Sir Edmund Hilary was applauded for making the climb because my thought was, “what about Tenzing Norgay, who made the climb while carrying Hilary’s gear?” If I am wrong my apologize, I was just a tot at the time.
#Sherpas are no doubt is the worlds best Everest climbers!
They are very close to having the skills of the best Everest climbers, but that is only on the easiest route up the mountain.
@@djhenyo😂
We here carry just a bag pack and watching these guys carry hundreds lbs on their back is unbelievable. Amazing strong people. Also none of these men can say they climb successfully.. if it weren’t for the help of the Sherpa’s. Try doing alone.
Rich people training in gyms to become pumped and strong; ya know what's good workout; picking up the trash 🗑️ they leave behind on the mts! ✌️
You are dumb.
Asking people to climb alone is to kill the income of sherpa. Give and take my friend.
I couldn’t do it even with a Sherpa
They are not subjects of George Everest.
They are the natives who call the mountain by its true name i.e. Sagarmath
👍🏾
True 👍
Yes sagarmatha….
We Sherpas call it Chomolungma like the Tibetans, Sagarmatha is the Nepali name.
I have MAD respect and admiration towards these incredibly wonderful people called sherpas and porters. Without them nobody can reach everest, absolutely no one.
I hope all climbers honor these men and give them all the respect they trully deserve.
I also hope people tip them well!!!
I plan to do the EBC next year and I cant wait to meet these amazing people.
God bless the nepalese!
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.
Thank you for making this video. If only our country politicians recognized how important Sherpas are. If a foreigner climbs Everest once, he is set for life. But as for a Nepalese Sherpa it's a way of making a living. I suppose with great powers come great responsibilities
How is he set for life after reaching the summit of Everest? Pls explain this to me
@@geraldricoguevara3340i could be wrong, but I think he means most foreigners summit Everest once and feel the sense of accomplishment, whereas a Sherpa does it several times to have this same sense of accomplishment
You def have great powers
The sheer fact that they reached the summit in a cotton coat and those boots is mind blowing.
I thought the same when I saw that.
Amazing video, hats off to Sherpas and all those who love Nepal !
I am From Assam and love nepal
Good job guys,
My respect from New York
Certainly the Sherpas are the true heroes and largely unacknowledged. Love the idea that they are the “confidants and guardians of the holy mother of the sky.”
now they carry equipment for people around the world that think they lead the climb
Next time you see someone try to show off their photos and achievements on Mt Everest, you know what it takes behind their story.
Next time anyone sees you try to show off your photos of travel, should they think about the person who cleaned your toilet at the hotel?
And your taxi driver?
And your cook at the restaurant?
What about your flight captain?
You better mention him in all your travel photos from now on.
@@sendthis9480 but travelling isn't an achievement ig 💀
@@sendthis9480you thought you ate. Climbing Everest and taking a taxi are not the same.
@@Lost-mb1gj
Mmmmkay kiddo.
Do you think NASCAR drivers should change their own tires and pump their own gas?
Do you think Tom Brady should paint his own lines on the field?
A couple weeks ago Diego German threw a perfect game for the Yankees.
But let’s not give him credit.
Lets give all the credit to the field crew and the guy that installed the rubber on the mound?
Maybe we should give credit to the guy that rubbed the baseballs with mud?
Grow up and calm your virtue signaling.
It is far from objective.
@@aurkeehaalchaal
See above.
Semantics as deflection is kind of cowardly.
Calm your rhetoric.
SHERPAS - "The REAL heroes of Everest " 👍🏾
Salute and respect to the Sherpas..keepers of the Himalayas!!
Sherpa are just simply superhuman. Extraordinary strong will, durable, people yet humble and friendly. Salute to these Sherpa
How beautiful is this documentary. Hats off to the entire team of Slice.
Recently watched a video about a couple of men who turned climbing into a successful business by guiding people up the mountain. Sorry I forgot their names. 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.
👍🏾
I can’t imagine myself carrying those bags for 2 straight weeks! Damn. They are built different!
Don’t climb Everest as a tourist. Period
Exactly 💯 Right
I really feel bad and ashamed being a sherpa and have not climbed any mountains, but at the same time I feel very proud when I see such videos. #Sherpas #GOAT of Himalayas❤️❤️❤️🏔️🏔️🏔️
Those who are climbing are your brothers so if they climbed you have also climbed...
There are many mountains in a persons life. Not all of them need to be physical ones. 😊🙏🏻
Would you ever think about climbing?
Ur life ur choice 😌
Just climb over a hill and call it a mountain. Then be productive somewhere else.
Sherpa's are amazing people
Very true 😊😊💕💕💕
Unfortunately it's their bread an butter, but they are very strong an hardworking.
Sherpas The real heroes of M. Everest
only true climers r sherpas Only rest are joke
They even are willing to go back up and try to rescue people.
Have to be some of the strongest people in the world, and lung capacity💪
My head and back hurts after seeing sherpas carry heavy loads of stuff😢
@6:23
Those who are confused what narrator is asking for from the Sherpa. He is asking for ‘chhaang’, which is a homemade rice beer quite popular throughout Himalayas.
Can imagine carrying these much loads n climbing stiff n Rocky area ..myself staying in hilly area climbing 50 stairs on my way to work is exhausted,everyday is a struggle for me ..amazing video 👍
Why not document those brave climbers died there .
Hats out to the Sherpas and everyone who loves Nepal 🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵for this amazing film!😊😊💕💕💕

Risking other people's lives hauling your load to the sky is nothing but selfish.
Hats off to the bravest of the brave Sherpas 🙏🇳🇵🇳🇵
I feel just as bad for the animals as I do the people carrying those heavy loads everyday. They are grossly underpaid for what they do, you wouldn't have the hundreds of people who have reached the summit without these people.
If sherpa denied to go no one can climb except army
Haiya, he rescued the wrong climber, the rescued person is a Chinese Malaysian. The Sherpa will not get anything for his effort, he should have rescued a Malay guy then he would be rewarded by the Malaysian government. Chinese/Indian people here have no value to the government
1:16 there are tourists with their walking sticks and then a picture of a sherpa carrying their entire house on his head with a rope.
A lot of those people are just doing the week or so trek walking up to base camp, staying at tea houses and such, so that little pack is all they need, that sherpa is likely carrying a climbers gear. The video does not explain this very well.
Omg, they're climbing while carrying those heavy bags 😣
Reminds me a bit of the local people in PNG who carried wounded Australian soldiers during WWII and also a lot of their supplies.
God bless these strong humble guys. Without them nobody can go to the top.most visitors understand that.seen these carrying crazy loads God bless these people and these incredible peaks.
Does anyone know what sort of weight the sherpas might be carrying at different points of the climb? Some of those loads look insane
What a lovely piece to see this early morning Thank u for praising them you deserve it
WRONG HEADLINES ON EVEREST
Recently we heard about the death of "Joshua Cheruiyot Kirui, a Kenyan mountaineer, and his guide."
WRONG.
We should hear about "the death of *Nawang Sherpa*, a Nepalese mountaineer and guide, who perished when his Kenyan client attempting to summit Everest without oxygen, began behaving erratically.
Nawang Sherpa communicated his client's condition to the Everest Base Camp, including the fact that he refused bottled oxygen even as his condition deteriorated, putting himself and Nawang Sherpa at increasing risk.
Shortly after this communication, Kirui fell and apparently caused the death of Nawang Sherpa, to whom he was attached by a rope."
There, fixed it. #NawangSherpa
Living in that tough condition they certainly need many gods, one won’t cut it
Macie ciężką pracę. Ale sprawia wam wiele radości . To bardzo ważne. Lubicie to co robicie. Everest daje wam życie i radość z tego życia. 😊😊🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱. Renata
It makes me nauseous to see how large a weight these beautiful people take on their back. It really should be forbidden. No back is so strong that it can take a weight like that for many years. The non Sherpa climbers take not an ounce of responsibility for this. How little respect they actually have for the Sherpa.
I am also fascinated towards mountains.I have seen Tenjing's belongings at HMI museum. We should protect the environment and culture. Salute to all the climbers for their strong determination ❤❤❤🇳🇵🇮🇳🇳🇵
What museum?
@@oorjaamishra69 Go to Darjeeling and Visit HMI museum
Os Sherpas sim são os caras do alpinismo. Na raça, na pobreza, eles sobem não por emoção mas, por necessidade de ganhar o sustento. Eles resistem a todas as intempéries , são espetaculares, eles sim são os astros, o resto nem se compara.
They are not in poverty they just live in the mountains
Hats off to our sherpa brothers❤❤
Huge respect mann
I love how privileged foreigners are putting these people's lives at risk, just to fulfill some fantasy of theirs. It's the ultimate climber's selfie shot, they didn't really deserve.
Those sherpas are amazing kinda amazing some have 20 summits under their belt and for every summit they climb the mount 30 freaken times amazing I think all climbers should work In teams weather sherpa or fellow to get their own gear up kinda gay when a man carry 2× what u do to each camp and climb inside
We nepali proud to be sherpa famely and sheroa guide 🙏🙏🙏🙏
some people think that it's easy to climb up. But it's not guys. Weather is get chance each and every second as he said that.. Good luck who's gng to mt Be careful as well.
They need not carry such impossibly heavy packs if the climbers were more humane and engaged more than one person to carry their packs.
Why govt not making trecking road with proper equipment?
This place is addictive, just returned from Nepal last month EBC
Planning again soon
What they get if they reach the summit?
$1000 for each Sherpas normally. Which is very less comparing to other jobs in the world.
@@shabirregmi5803 and they are not even big people and they have to carry all that stuff, makes them look like ants carrying all that, I would feel like crap to be carrying a light backpack while some poor guy is carrying a load that looks bigger than him, even if they are getting paid for it.
$1000 bonus. Total pay for a climbing Sherpa on Everest is around $6000 per season.
@@MusMasi My Sherpa brothers are really superhuman.
Good Morning & Happy New Year What great part of history.
I don't know I w why people do dangerous things wow I would be scared .
I feel sorry for animals !
Sherpa need clean the mountain garbage. Save mountain.👈👈👈👈they are heros.
bags over 40 kg should be illegal 😕
Salam🙏🙏 dari indonesia 🇮🇩🇮🇩goud
Thank you very much for the video and such a great information. 🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵
Punishing these animals just to please people with money very sad
The unsung heroes of the mountains.
"Norwegian woman Kristin Harila and her sherpa guide, Tenjen Sherpa, have set a new record for the fastest climb of all 14 peaks above 8,000m, completing the feat in just over three months"
This is a line from the article I read. "Norwegian woman and her sherpa" LMAO WHAT
Now she need to be help accountable for Murder due to negligence
You are not supposed to save anyone on Everest if you are not professional. Norway medias are dumb@@richardv9648
@@richardv9648Having an accident at the height basically means you're fucked. There wasn't anything they could do for him.
Typically not much about the Sherpas, mostly footage of foreign trekkers. "People who first climbed Mt. Everest"? Kiwis maybe, as Edmund Hillary was from New Zealand.
0:28 "brought me to the door of the Shepa lands". Oh dear, Shepas inhabit also Solu, the southern district reaching 40 km south of Namche. You have been in Sherpa land ever since your plane to Lukla flew over Jiri about 50 km distant.
3:36 Tengboche monastery with about 60 sangha is not the largest monastery in the Khumbu area, Thupten Choling north of Jumbesi has over 400 monks and nuns.
8:19 Babu Chiri had climbed Everest 12 times not two. The last time I met him in 1998 he already had 7 Everest summits under his belt. I walked with him in 1985 and -86 and taught him how to use crampons and rope.
I expected more accuracy from a person who had climbed Everest already in the seventies.
Let them know! Thank you for these corrections
Geez… please learn to pronounce place names! Panboch… etc… no! It’s Panboche, with an é at the end! Also: Babu Chhiri Bai died outside Camp 2 in the Western Cwm, as he was taking a photo, he fell into a crevasse. A terrible tragedy. He was a beautiful person, and an extremely strong climber. He spent the night on top of Everest, because he could… other than that, a lovely little doco. Of note, Sherpas these days don’t often work as porters to the mountains. People from lower down have those jobs, Sherpas run businesses, they are extremely good business people. And of course, they are the majority ethnic group to work on high mountains. Extraordinary people, that’s for sure! 😊🙏🏻
In order to be a guide Sherpas have to start of as porters.
@@ErinRenee1990 its not a strict process like that , alot of sherpas can speak english and if they know the route they can just apply to be guides. the ones applying to be porters are usually people from pooer backgrounds who don't have connections or can speak english. Recently alot of them are not sherpas but people from different ethnic groups who come to the everest region looking for employment.
@@chhimi4025 Ok sorry I meant a lot of the Nepali guides had to start off as a porter to become a Sherpa. I watched a documentary on that once. Don’t ask me which one because I’ve watched so many on Everest.
I think each climber should have $5000 $10,000 deposit or fee just for sherpa and the people of the area to keep contry cleen and inshurence for sherpa famalies in case of death famaly can servive no reason they can't and the mount needs to be cleaned at cost of locals
Asia is the best to have fun, enjoy and explore. Adventure never ends, so keep going lionheart. I love watching all these people accomplish something amazing. The scenery is just breathtaking
A modest presentation. Very nice.
Sherpas are found India, Tibet and Nepal. These guys are practically superheros, their mitochondria is far better in managing energy than ours.
Sherpas have a lower mitochondria count than other and we turn lethargic when in low land areas.
Imagine if it were some local Sherpa who were the first to summit Everest before Hillary, and they just didn’t mention it.
Its wonderfull to follow your video..i could know the other part of the world and i really dont know when i could visit❤
What amazing people.
Tashi delek ! 😉
You have to correct lots because you write Sherpa is shepherd and Lukla is Luca this words doesn't give meaning
The most BADASS humans with innocent soul -- " Sherapas"
a pleasant tribute to the sherpas!!
cheers
That old sherpa’s prayer recitation sounded like a Jamaican song😂 @ 8.00 mins of the video
Without SHERPA Sir Edmund Hillary won't have reached the Peak of Everst
This man 6:36 appeared in the old footage of finding Michael... In thd region of khumbu ice fall
Hello, If you stop the video at 11:30 you can see a mans face in the snow in the side of the mountain. It is right in the center. As the video pulls back it's easier to see. See if you can see it.
Trying to do it without sherpas is like signing up to be a checkpoint 😉
Was i the only one that noticed the smiling cloud at the top right of screen at -1.49 minutes 😮
Hail the real heroes
