  • A BBC documentary on the Mount Everest. Every year, over a thousand climbers try to reach the summit of Mount Everest, with the annual record for successful attempts currently standing at 633. But of that number, nearly half were Sherpas - the mountain's unsung heroes. Yet the Sherpa community has remained secretive about their nation, culture and experiences living in the shadow of the world's highest mountain. Now, for the first time, they open the door into their world.
    Without the expertise of the Sherpas, only the hardiest and most skillful climbers would succeed. Every day they risk their lives for the safety of others, yet they seek neither glory nor reward, preferring to stay in the background. Following the stories of four such Sherpas - Phurba, Ngima, Ngima Tenji and Gelu - this film reveals the reality of their daily lives, not just up the mountain, but with their families after they return home.

      @aszechy,
      I 100% agree! These people seem to live such a humble yet happy lifestyle. I strongly have a love of climbing. As a boy, I climbed several 13,000-14,000 and didn’t even think of the significance and triumph. I’d love to travel to Everest Base Camp and just spend time of learning of The Sherpa. They truly are the strong and dedicated mountaineers. Much more should be written and documented and I’m honestly thinking of traveling to the small villages of The Sherpa, learning, documenting and sharing The Sherpa to the rest of the planet.

      A few have done it without sherpa support. But I take your point, and you are right. Its so few that might as well say no climbers could make it without sherpa support. Those guys are like super heros on the mountain.
      The statement only the most skilled could make it without sherpa support is accurate, but only just barely.

    The sherpas don't seem to know their worth, they're grossly underpaid for what they do to get their clients to the summit. Twenty thousand minimum per sherpa would be a starting point as far as pay goes with the more experienced workers getting more. You really can't put a price on what they do, they are truly amazing.

    By allowing so many permits, if there are just a few days to climb, they literally are putting clients toward the back of the queue in danger. If Mr Kulkarni's Sherpa was telling him that there was no time to even take a photo because they had to head down for their safety, why were any Sherpas continuing to climb up with other mountaineers? If someone doesn't have a chance to summit based on the length of the line due to over permitting, they should receive a partial refund. I'm glad that Mr Alee was smart enough to recognize that he would be put at risk if he continued up from that far back in the queue.

      bodies and feces are not garbage, humans are part of nature, despite whatever deity you believe had allegedly told you, we all came from this green Earth, evolved alongside other species a long long time ago, so if humans die on the mountain, they just simply returned to nature, if humans took a dump on the mountain, they also just left part of their bodies in nature.
      Everest doesn't just house humans, it also has many wild lives such as Bharal (sheep-like creature), Snowcock (Chick-like creature), and many others.
      If these creatures die on the mountain, which happen all the time since the beginning of time, would you call it that they are leaving behind garbage? No, because it's just part of nature.
      If these creatures took a dump on the mountain, which happen all the time since the beginning of time, would you call it that they are leaving behind garbage? No, because it's just part of nature.

    Just compare the everyday ”passive” exercise the sherpas get compared to the western people.
    No wonder they’re in better Sharp to handle the mountain

    The Sherpas need to be recognised for their achievements, you get a westerner summits Everest everyone knows, a Sherpa will summit Everest aswel as look after the westerners and carry everything aswel as put the ropes in place, basically the Sherpas carry westerners to the top of everest

    Conditions have changed in 80 years, and the scale of climbing the 2nd Step may have changed - surely the "Historian" knows this? Pathetic and subjective wishful thinking!
