There is entirely too much credit given to Sherpa - they are good even excellent mountaineers but they are no better then mountaineers from all over the world.
Must be nice having an entire team of expert Sherpas there to bail you out. Ironic that thrill-seeking foreigners who seek to "conquer" Mt.

Uh, not everybody can go/qualify. It takes more than just big bucks. Fitness assessments/past experience is reviewed by the vendors. Period. As for falling in a crevasse, it can happen to any of us.

@@SignedOff402 True, but there are still thousands of experienced climbers that would still be available to take onto the mountain. The problem with Everest is all the novice climbers who get taken up onto the mountain by expedition companies who really only care if you can pay up, not survive.
@@Falquiboy No for sure there are other jobs out there that they could find easily. But especially in Nepal, being a Sherpa is one of the highest paying jobs out there.
Everyone who climbs Everest should be tipping the Sherpas 4 figures. They're paying well into 5 figures to climb Everest, they can dish out another couple grand.
@@travis5665 Um- you must never have climbed anything. First of all, bridging crevasses means CARRYING the bridges up the icefall. At 20,000 plus feet. Second of all, crampons HAVE to be on your boots to walk on the ice at all. Thirdly, There is NO smooth surface you can walk on, with crampons, that the steel points won’t either slide on, or stick into, either of which is hugely dangerous and can result in falls. The rungs of the ladders allow the teeth of the crampons to STRADDLE them, so that the boot can NOT slide forward or backwards, and the side rails of the ladder prevent the boot from sliding sideways off the ladder. I know it LOOKS weird... but aluminum ladders are actually the single most secure way to cross a crevasse wearing crampons. Yes it takes concentration and care- but that’s a GOOD thing when crossing a crevasse by any means. And as you can see, those crossing are roped to help keep them from losing their balance, and, if necessary, prevent them from falling down the crevasse. The entire reason you even have ropes in climbing is because slips and falls are GOING to happen climbing a mountain covered in slippery ice and nearly as slippery naked rock.
To these sherpas, I give you a standing SALUTE !. No words can describe my admiration of your bravery, expertise and your physical toughness in this inhospital enviroment of the khumbu glaciers and mount Everest.
It is amazing to see exclusive human nature reaching out to the peak of endurance and testing themselves to go to the next level as applies to both the Sherpas and their climbers! Hats off!
Why not put foldable hard plastic with astro turf & walk across easy Fold W unfold/ clip on to ladder.goddamn simple SOLUTION Sherpas should get credit they carry everything Mechanic be payed more F1 driver previlege & do nothing
@@blaquentgruppe6547 Just going to go on a limb here. Could be totally wrong. Wind? That ladder can stay up there for a while I suppose? Anything without the gaps in between might get blown away or damaged in some way.
A stunning rescue by the sherpas, plus huge credit to the climber for staying calm and taking instructions. The sherpas didn't want him to lose consciousness by being suspended upside down otherwise the rescue would have been twice as hard.
@@arun120977I don't understand this mindset - someone pays for the privilege of climbing therefore being calm in the presence of danger deserves no recognition? Okay guy
@@JStrauD The guys has zero experience in climbing. Yet he embarks on a hazardous adventure putting his own life at risk and relying on those her pays to save him. It is like giving passengers credit for a pilot bringing down a damaged airplane. The passengers have nothing to do with anything other than being along for the ride. Actually worse in this case, since the man actually caused the accident.
Wow. Just.... WOW. That these humans choose this line of work is absolutely incredible. And they do it with such ease and genuine care- with so much danger involved to their own lives. Amazing.
They don't really have a choice. It's Nepal. Not America. If you're a man, you basically either become a sherpa, or your family starves. A bit sad actually.
@@brookiecookie6675 yeah, but it’s disregarding a whole ethnicity down to just a profession.- which is not right. They “become” sherpas by being born into a family.
Sherpas deserve to be paid way more n gvn insurance etc this is highly specialised work on mt everest they risk their lives every minute n they work in teams n pairs so they can assist each other. Ice fall doctors they call thm .
This is how every Human on earth, should be treating each other, like everyone is s precious cargo and everyone chips in to stop the situation from getting way worse. Great human love and strength 😍
kudos to the nepalis (guides and porters) who make these high-altitude adventures as safe as possible. without their knowledge, commitment, skills and strength, one wouldn't dare to approach these mountains... remember april 2014 tragedy, when 16 (sxiteen!) sherpas died in an avalanche close to everest camp 1, while preparing the way for their clients. homage to those who are gone and namaste to those who continue to put their lives at risk supporting their clients.
I like she actually asked how can I help rather than just standing there filming and going omg or on no or something. Though at first I thought it was those two with on guide but happy they had a whole team ☺️
Everyone's talking about how calm the sherpas were but I think the best example of calmness is the person dangling in to the bottomless pit not making a sound... they bossed it 👊
Built different? How ridiculous.. except for DNA that could be reason they handle altitude so well..they are people .of faith..from tough mtn life that previous to big time climbing permits..had little or no conveniences or education.
@@joanmarietsultrimparkin1821 built different is just a funny phrase used by young people these days. It’s not offensive or ridiculous, saying that sherpas are built different are basically like saying they’re on another level and they know their stuff.
I don't have much words (due to the sheer respect I've for them.) BUT no doubt that Sherpas are God's angel on mountains. God bless SHERPAS in both worlds. Amen. 🙏💕
I get it that his crampon got stuck, you can see that from the footage. You fall FORWARD, onto the ladder, you do not outstretch your body to try and grab at a piece of hard snow you can't grip into. I am sure this guy has mountaineering experience but clearly not technical ice-climbing experience with crampons. Crevasses kill a lot of people because of simple mistakes, but if you find yourself crossing one and you're going to trip, trip forward and take the hit. You should be fine and it is much easier to help someone still on a ladder than counter-repel them up. Also that mountain is telling you that you do not belong there. Mountains talk baby, call me crazy.
Yep, that would have been my sign to just stay at base camp. If you’re having trouble going through the icefall (I assume that’s where this was), that’s not a good sign.
@@KFUURE idk man, she couldn't really have done much and probably would've gotten in the way of the rescue besides she was already filming, some ppl just freeze up
My heart was pounding, and I'm just watching this thru my cell phone's what is it 5inch screen? I couldn't even IMAGINE what it was like for him!? Thank GOD for protecting him thru the courageous and compassionate Sherpas. 🙏
@@ImThePronounPolice no that was definitely a man who fell in the crevice and the sherpas who saved him were also men, the women that you hear is the one holding the camera and doing literally nothing helpful
My most common comments on every video on Everest is also about how much I respect all these Sherpas. without them there would be no Mount Everest climbing. And few other peaks too
@@KFUURE I completely agree with you but now a days climbing Mount Everest is mostly done because people need that badge that they climbed The Mount Everest and they definitely required lots of Sherpas. There are still few who climb because they love climbing and for those it doesn't matter if they climbing Mount Everest or any other mountain and those few individuals don't need to have Sherpas. They do their home work. Their percentage is less though
Hail the Sherpa! Men stripped from their homes to ferry fools through icy hell. Steel cowers at the hardness of these men! The muck on their boots has more worth than a thousand greedy tourists. Oh sons of the mountain herself, be protected on your journey and may you see the warmth of your families again! At one point I had wished to climb Everest, but I know now I couldn't put a Sherpa in that position with good conscious.
What? You do know that they are more than happy to do it because they like doing it and they get paid handsomely in comparison to their fellow countrymen.
Just curious, do they hold their family ransome, or is it arm twisting, that makes these poor sherpas do it? If the mountain wasn't there, what would they do?
Now that's what I call team work! I wish I could have gotten a better look down inside the crevasse! I bet the person who fell got a really good look down that creepy crevasse !
I was into climbing years ago. The Sherpas are simply amazing human beings. I'm not trying to diminish anything here, at all, but as scary as this appears, this is effectively how to do a standard crevasse rescue, and not panic, but use the manpower you have. The ladder gets in the way as much as anything. The fact it took them less than 5 minutes to pluck him out was very impressive. You can see how calm and incredibly efficient the Sherpas are here, but the entire team too, really. The climber who fell was also smart to remain calm, and follow their lead.
It's very clear it is not hospital to people. I don't understand why people put themselves through such bad conditions. Other people will be the ones to pick up the pieces. The top of Everest is the equivalent of the cruising altitude of an Airbus plane. Not for people.
@@angeloddrev I totally agree with you. It’s same kind of people whose egos cannot fit this world that put themselves through these sort of challenges to feel glorious. Call me a simpleton but I would rather live and not cause any bodily harm to myself instead of proving I have the strength to put myself through deadly conditions.
[4 Sherpas save him from certain death] “So yeah I climbed to the summit with ease, some Sherpas were so impressed they even gave me a pat on the back for it”
Totally terrifying, hanging upside down over a crevasse! NOT a time to panic! I guess those ropes or cables or whatever, are quite strong, and the sherpas just go about their job like they've saved someone from falling head-first down a crevasse a hundred times! Maybe they have! Much awe and respect to them!
I hope they gave that team of Sherpas a nice bonus. Watch the documentary called 'Sherpa' from 2015. What these people go through is unbelievable. They're heroes.
@@Sloth55Chunk Thanks. Great comment. You added a lot to the conversation. You're a very interesting and mature conversationalist... for an 11 year old.
Finally a mountaineering rescue storyline i can really be happy about.... Why do i get MORE satisfaction at these guys being rescued rather than the countless others who have got into trouble there ; now let me see?
Guy falls on the edge of death and the Sherpas are like "Its fiiine my dude, just hang out for a minute and we'll rescue you from a painful and terrifying demise." Legendary.
@@tidypog3272 Mr. Technicalities here. Lmao! We all know what Garret was meaning. Countless deaths, or 309 is the same thing. Especially when YOU lost count at 300! Bahahahahaha
I think the main reasons why it's less admired is that you're not breaking new ground. You follow a well trodden path full of support. The annual death rate is down to 1% and ~2/3 make it up. Also, most people are not experienced, but depend on others to a high degree. Like bowling with the fences up. However, I don't think people dying is one of them. Fatalities is one of the few things that shocks people. Danger is a treasured spice of a sheltered life. Overcoming fear of death might provide a sense of dignity.
@L. Bradley Sorry 'L' but I don't know what you are on about. When did I mention a helicopter? I am going to hold off on calling you a genius at this point...

honestly, he probably wasn't nearly as grateful as he shouldve been.
@@ImThePronounPolice filming yeah, clearly not a girl in the video that fell...
The know-how and incredible effort to rescue this climber and get him back up is nothing short of superb! Absolutely these sherpas should be paid thousands each per trip! They are amazing 🤩
After he gets up there’s such a relief in the air it’s incredible, and the thank yous at the end from the man in blue made me emotional. These people are truly amazing
It's so sincere too, he is in shock and exhausted
There could be more thank you though from other ppl in the group
Probably a dentist. Or a stocks trader. He'll have stories to tell at the end about how he fell into a cravass but ultimately climbed the mountain...here's the slide show, that's me standing on top of the world. It was amazing and only cost $100,000...you should do it!
Most definitely
Without the mountain climbers, the sherpas would be jobless.
@@SignedOff402 True, but there are still thousands of experienced climbers that would still be available to take onto the mountain. The problem with Everest is all the novice climbers who get taken up onto the mountain by expedition companies who really only care if you can pay up, not survive.
@@zandernewman7570 How is that true. They would earn their income in a different way.
@@Falquiboy No for sure there are other jobs out there that they could find easily. But especially in Nepal, being a Sherpa is one of the highest paying jobs out there.
Everyone who climbs Everest should be tipping the Sherpas 4 figures. They're paying well into 5 figures to climb Everest, they can dish out another couple grand.
you'd think they could dish out a couple grand to have something better than a ladder that's even customized just for walking on for crossing.
@@travis5665 lol you know I've thought the same thing when I've watched these everest videos. 🤷♂️
Agreed those ladders and crampons are a disaster
RIGHT!!!
@@travis5665 Um- you must never have climbed anything. First of all, bridging crevasses means CARRYING the bridges up the icefall. At 20,000 plus feet.
Second of all, crampons HAVE to be on your boots to walk on the ice at all. Thirdly, There is NO smooth surface you can walk on, with crampons, that the steel points won’t either slide on, or stick into, either of which is hugely dangerous and can result in falls.
The rungs of the ladders allow the teeth of the crampons to STRADDLE them, so that the boot can NOT slide forward or backwards, and the side rails of the ladder prevent the boot from sliding sideways off the ladder.
I know it LOOKS weird... but aluminum ladders are actually the single most secure way to cross a crevasse wearing crampons. Yes it takes concentration and care- but that’s a GOOD thing when crossing a crevasse by any means. And as you can see, those crossing are roped to help keep them from losing their balance, and, if necessary, prevent them from falling down the crevasse.
The entire reason you even have ropes in climbing is because slips and falls are GOING to happen climbing a mountain covered in slippery ice and nearly as slippery naked rock.
To these sherpas, I give you a standing SALUTE !. No words can describe my admiration of your bravery, expertise and your physical toughness in this inhospital enviroment of the khumbu glaciers and mount Everest.
Me: "what a clumsy oaf!"
Also me: trips over my laptop power cord getting up from my desk
😂😀😂😂
🤣
Поэтому мы сидим на диване, и смотрим, как это делают другие🤗
ASTONISHING ! Only the sherpas' knew how to handle the situation.
Without sherpas 90% of climbers wouldn’t make it to the top.
Yea learning about how terrible submitting everest has gotten with tourism and people thinking they're survivor man lmao
☝️😁😁😁😁
At least the person recording asked how they could help instead of freaking out had to respect that at least
And they managed to do it in a matter of minutes.
That Sherpa on the very edge like it is nothing, I can’t
The Sherpa that UNHOOKED himself on the edge got me. @1:50
They’ll never get enough credit, can’t stand the people who say they get paid enough they are on peanuts for the risk they put in
It is amazing to see exclusive human nature reaching out to the peak of endurance and testing themselves to go to the next level as applies to both the Sherpas and their climbers! Hats off!
I literally held my breath throughout that clip. Major respect to everyone there.
What great work by the team of rescuers. Incredible save. Could have ended up as another landmark on the route.
Could of been turned into yellow boots
Imagine crossing a ladder with a dead body hanging under it. That would certainly help weed out who wanted to cross.
That ladder deserves an award.
Why not put foldable hard plastic with astro turf & walk across easy
Fold W unfold/ clip on to ladder.goddamn simple SOLUTION
Sherpas should get credit they carry everything
Mechanic be payed more F1 driver previlege & do nothing
@@blaquentgruppe6547 Just going to go on a limb here. Could be totally wrong.
Wind? That ladder can stay up there for a while I suppose? Anything without the gaps in between might get blown away or damaged in some way.
Strings too

A stunning rescue by the sherpas, plus huge credit to the climber for staying calm and taking instructions. The sherpas didn't want him to lose consciousness by being suspended upside down otherwise the rescue would have been twice as hard.
The climber is simply a guy that paid for the ride. He deserves no credit other than for paying them.
@@arun120977I don't understand this mindset - someone pays for the privilege of climbing therefore being calm in the presence of danger deserves no recognition? Okay guy
@@JStrauD The guys has zero experience in climbing. Yet he embarks on a hazardous adventure putting his own life at risk and relying on those her pays to save him. It is like giving passengers credit for a pilot bringing down a damaged airplane. The passengers have nothing to do with anything other than being along for the ride. Actually worse in this case, since the man actually caused the accident.
@@arun120977so you know the guy, huh?
@@JoshyLee-kb3bt Have you been looking in the mirror?
Those guys are SO amazing! I read the comments and those guys weren't fazed at all by the rescue... Amazing! And thank you for saving a life!
Agreed totally 👍
Wow. Just.... WOW. That these humans choose this line of work is absolutely incredible. And they do it with such ease and genuine care- with so much danger involved to their own lives. Amazing.
They don't really have a choice. It's Nepal. Not America. If you're a man, you basically either become a sherpa, or your family starves. A bit sad actually.
@@davecarsley8773 Sherpa is a tribe name. Not an occupation.
They really don't have a choice
@@Perennial1997 yeah, but the point still stands.
@@brookiecookie6675 yeah, but it’s disregarding a whole ethnicity down to just a profession.- which is not right. They “become” sherpas by being born into a family.
How did that flimsy ladder support the weight of that Sherpa’s nuts? Mad respect.
Best comment
Sherpas weigh only 20 lbs at the most.
Those ladders are pretty strong, they would support 2 people easy
😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣💀💀
man i would hug each of these Sherpas with all my energy and saying thanks 100 times. They saved his life he barely thanks them
One of the best displays of teamwork I've seen.
This guy is going to have nightmares about this moment for the rest of his life.
Didn’t he pay for such amazing stories to tell? I think he got his monies worth. Including the extra 5K he paid the sherpas.
I am saving to go on this trip and have been walking on ladders in my backyard 2 nights a week for the last month because of this XD
Yes being on RUclips
Yes
Don't you have some video tapes to return on your way to Dorsia?
Sherpas deserve to be paid way more n gvn insurance etc this is highly specialised work on mt everest they risk their lives every minute n they work in teams n pairs so they can assist each other. Ice fall doctors they call thm .
Totally.
they get paid enough to do it or they wouldn't.
if they deserve why they are not paid by their companies? ask their CEO's why don't pay them more.
Accountants more than lawyer
Players more than owners
Trainers more than ?
Construction workers more than LLx cambridge development
They do nothing
@Piotr Sieradzki ye, just another soyboy bullshit. I dont see any heroic deeds in this video, just a work they got paid for.
I was terrified watching this, I can’t imagine how this guy felt. Big respect to the Sherpas for keeping calm
This is how every Human on earth, should be treating each other, like everyone is s precious cargo and everyone chips in to stop the situation from getting way worse. Great human love and strength 😍
Lovely statement. I agree
Starting from westerners and israleis!
kudos to the nepalis (guides and porters) who make these high-altitude adventures as safe as possible. without their knowledge, commitment, skills and strength, one wouldn't dare to approach these mountains... remember april 2014 tragedy, when 16 (sxiteen!) sherpas died in an avalanche close to everest camp 1, while preparing the way for their clients. homage to those who are gone and namaste to those who continue to put their lives at risk supporting their clients.
There’s only one thing harder than summiting Everest:
Not telling everyone you meet about it.
Like vegans do
@@marlagarrason2005 Why shouldn’t you? It’s impressive
@@Eamesam because a healthy person doesn't need to impress anyone else than one self
@@hikinvikin ????
It is an achievement I'm sorry but yes they are entitled to tell people about it. This is not something everyone can do.
Боже, с какой любовью они его достали из под лестницы, моё почтение Шерпам и безграничная ❤❤❤
I like she actually asked how can I help rather than just standing there filming and going omg or on no or something. Though at first I thought it was those two with on guide but happy they had a whole team ☺️
She was just getting in the way and generally making the situation worse
@@davez5201 she wasn't even in the way...
Everyone's talking about how calm the sherpas were but I think the best example of calmness is the person dangling in to the bottomless pit not making a sound... they bossed it 👊
He had to conserve his oxygen. He was upside down so not able to breath right. Screaming would have just wasted his air.
@Vixentales exactly. That's why it's the best example of staying calm. If he panicked, he would have died.
He should have turned around and went home. He is a danger to others and himself.
The Sherpas are built different. Amazing to watch the communication and teamwork among them.
K2 Winter was mind blowing!!
Built different? How ridiculous.. except for DNA that could be reason they handle altitude so well..they are people .of faith..from tough mtn life that previous to big time climbing permits..had little or no conveniences or education.
@@joanmarietsultrimparkin1821 built different is just a funny phrase used by young people these days. It’s not offensive or ridiculous, saying that sherpas are built different are basically like saying they’re on another level and they know their stuff.
I don't have much words (due to the sheer respect I've for them.)
BUT no doubt that Sherpas are God's angel on mountains.
God bless SHERPAS in both worlds. Amen. 🙏💕
You can help by learning how to climb mountains somewhere else, and not endangering the lives of these sherpas.
could not have said it better...
Right. Don't put Everest on your bucket list just for the experience. Learn how to climb and be experienced before tackling it.
yeah sure
If you would be there we would help you ☺️😉😊❤️💙💜💚💖
Could've help by learning to cross a ladder first...?
That's the body's way of saying "Take me home already!". Major props to the sherpas.
Climbing the ladder upside down is just showing off
😂😂
Nah THAT my friend
Is the strength of a Sherpa 😎
Pełne kozactwo, spokój i opanowanie.
Inspiruje mnie takie zachowanie.
Great job Sherpa's.
RUclips tłumaczy kozactwo jako Cossack 😆
The guy that straddled the ladder and basically danced on the edge has balls of steel.
Absolutely
Huevos that clank!
Had a rope also but alright buddy
Its not deep there.
@@keinmyster8549 oh thank God for a rope! Nothing has ever gone wrong with a rope! 🙄
"Ready to continue Holan?" Hopefully downwards, if they have any sense.
Not bloody likely ...
They continued up. I saw the guy on somebody else’s post and he was continuing.
Susan Thomas: that's crazy. Hopefully he and his friends made it back safely.
Susan Thomas which other post is this on?
lmao then he has to cross the ladder back the other way!
I get it that his crampon got stuck, you can see that from the footage. You fall FORWARD, onto the ladder, you do not outstretch your body to try and grab at a piece of hard snow you can't grip into. I am sure this guy has mountaineering experience but clearly not technical ice-climbing experience with crampons. Crevasses kill a lot of people because of simple mistakes, but if you find yourself crossing one and you're going to trip, trip forward and take the hit. You should be fine and it is much easier to help someone still on a ladder than counter-repel them up.
Also that mountain is telling you that you do not belong there. Mountains talk baby, call me crazy.
When you fall, remember to fall forward, got it.
Yep, that would have been my sign to just stay at base camp. If you’re having trouble going through the icefall (I assume that’s where this was), that’s not a good sign.
Totally agree, he looked lost up there!
The lady was a great asset aswell🙈
@@KFUURE idk man, she couldn't really have done much and probably would've gotten in the way of the rescue besides she was already filming, some ppl just freeze up
My heart was pounding, and I'm just watching this thru my cell phone's what is it 5inch screen? I couldn't even IMAGINE what it was like for him!? Thank GOD for protecting him thru the courageous and compassionate Sherpas. 🙏
This guy is so lucky that he has these people in his team
Pay to play.
Im impressed by how fast the Sherpas rescued him. I have tried it myself and it literally took me 5 minutes to even prepare my gear.
It was a girl
@@ImThePronounPolice no that was definitely a man who fell in the crevice and the sherpas who saved him were also men, the women that you hear is the one holding the camera and doing literally nothing helpful
Не только пережить такое, но и смотреть страшно. Шерпы молодцы. Они настоящие горные орлы👏👏
Молодцы шерпы!!!👍👍👍 Очень профессионально и без паники сработали. Результат - спасённая жизнь💖💖💖💖💖
The fact that he probably had to walk across this again on the way back
@ISAAC Oliver since when hundreds and hundreds of people summit every season now and a hand full die along the way.
@ISAAC Oliver In 1912
He will crawl for sure
there is still another dozen in front of him over twice as wide. The icefalls are the scariest part imo.
That not the fact. Because of the movements of ice. It is movin 1 meter per day. And that is enough to change topology at way back.
Let's climb Everest they said....it will be fun they said
Everyone who goes unprepared to the Everest do faces the consequences
We'll pollute the mountain, they forgot to say
There’s people there that don’t need to be there.
@@leoortiiiz it just might be altitude sickness, it happens even in experienced climbers.
My most common comments on every video on Everest is also about how much I respect all these Sherpas. without them there would be no Mount Everest climbing. And few other peaks too
I think there is still competent people out there to climb without Sherpas. But yes they know there back garden.
@@KFUURE I completely agree with you but now a days climbing Mount Everest is mostly done because people need that badge that they climbed The Mount Everest and they definitely required lots of Sherpas. There are still few who climb because they love climbing and for those it doesn't matter if they climbing Mount Everest or any other mountain and those few individuals don't need to have Sherpas. They do their home work. Their percentage is less though
Lol the first people to summit were westerners not sherpas. So…
@@TwinTurboOnly no first people to climb were not westerner only. He was helped by sherpa guide tenzing norgay. without him it was not possible.
Not really. There are plenty of alpinists who can make it even without fixed ropes, camps and all that infrastructure.
Sherpa’s are something else ! Cool, calm and collected ! I’ve panicked more over falling down a kerb
He looks pretty shocked, should've practiced on a ladder in the garage at home, first. Whoops.
This is not about “practicing on a ladder” it’s not as easy on the top of the highest mountain.
He has ice spikes on his boots. He is cold and tired and probably winded. This is hard work. He stayed incredibly calm.
@@laurenmccormick6614 from what I heard, this is the beginning of the climb
Tourist do not belong there.
@@CigaretteTheChannel lmaoooo
Hail the Sherpa! Men stripped from their homes to ferry fools through icy hell. Steel cowers at the hardness of these men! The muck on their boots has more worth than a thousand greedy tourists. Oh sons of the mountain herself, be protected on your journey and may you see the warmth of your families again!
At one point I had wished to climb Everest, but I know now I couldn't put a Sherpa in that position with good conscious.
What? You do know that they are more than happy to do it because they like doing it and they get paid handsomely in comparison to their fellow countrymen.
Just curious, do they hold their family ransome, or is it arm twisting, that makes these poor sherpas do it?
If the mountain wasn't there, what would they do?
@@curlybrownk9 They'd probably be farmers or some other shitty job
There's nothing wrong in paying Sherpas for their assistance but at least the climber should be experienced. THAT would be a real help for them.
Now that's what I call team work! I wish I could have gotten a better look down inside the crevasse! I bet the person who fell got a really good look down that creepy crevasse !
These sherpas really do safe many life's on that mountain, they were so calm , I think they're amazing 👏
MAD RESPECT to all mountain guide Sherpas.. the saviours of all those who have no business up those mountains but fulfill their egos.
''HOW CAN I HELP ?´´
SHERPA THINKS :'' STAY AWAY''
I need a relationship as strong as that ladder😂
And that ladder sucks
@@user-if1de8pt2j hu?
I was into climbing years ago. The Sherpas are simply amazing human beings. I'm not trying to diminish anything here, at all, but as scary as this appears, this is effectively how to do a standard crevasse rescue, and not panic, but use the manpower you have. The ladder gets in the way as much as anything. The fact it took them less than 5 minutes to pluck him out was very impressive. You can see how calm and incredibly efficient the Sherpas are here, but the entire team too, really. The climber who fell was also smart to remain calm, and follow their lead.
БОЛЬШОЕ УВАЖЕНИЕ ШЕРПАМ!!!!!!ХРАНИ ИХ БОГ!!!!!!!РЕСПЕКТ ИМ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏

Everest mountain be like: "oh good more willing human sacrifices..."
It's very clear it is not hospital to people. I don't understand why people put themselves through such bad conditions. Other people will be the ones to pick up the pieces. The top of Everest is the equivalent of the cruising altitude of an Airbus plane. Not for people.
@@angeloddrev I totally agree with you. It’s same kind of people whose egos cannot fit this world that put themselves through these sort of challenges to feel glorious. Call me a simpleton but I would rather live and not cause any bodily harm to myself instead of proving I have the strength to put myself through deadly conditions.
@@angeloddrev Not quite. Aircraft cruise at 36-42 thousand feet. Which is roughly 10-15 thousand feet higher than mount everest.

The sherpa right on the edge with no attachment or protection. I can't imagine being that brave, I am sending them all my love and protection!
Need so much courage to be very calm in that kind of situation. Thanks to the Sherpa and other climbers.
[4 Sherpas save him from certain death]
“So yeah I climbed to the summit with ease, some Sherpas were so impressed they even gave me a pat on the back for it”
No one who summits Everest would be arrogant enough to say it was easy and demean the Sherpa people like that.
It is so relaxing and fun to see you enjoying nature. I am happy you record and share it. I am also up for recording a hike later this summer
Перед Вашим безумством , склоняю голову!
"How can I help?!"
"Uhhhh..... we're good. Just keep filming on your phone>"
Totally terrifying, hanging upside down over a crevasse! NOT a time to panic! I guess those ropes or cables or whatever, are quite strong, and the sherpas just go about their job like they've saved someone from falling head-first down a crevasse a hundred times! Maybe they have! Much awe and respect to them!
I hope they gave that team of Sherpas a nice bonus.
Watch the documentary called 'Sherpa' from 2015. What these people go through is unbelievable. They're heroes.
Meh... They're employees-- albeit ones with a tough job.
People who do things like this for free are heroes. Good documentary though.

Why do i get MORE satisfaction at these guys being rescued rather than the countless others who have got into trouble there ; now let me see?
Guy falls on the edge of death and the Sherpas are like "Its fiiine my dude, just hang out for a minute and we'll rescue you from a painful and terrifying demise." Legendary.
Climbing Everest is becoming less and less admired because of people who have no business being there causing countless avoidable fatalities
We can count the fatalities. It's like 300 or something
@@tidypog3272 Mr. Technicalities here. Lmao! We all know what Garret was meaning. Countless deaths, or 309 is the same thing. Especially when YOU lost count at 300! Bahahahahaha
@@jmillerfpv "300 or something"
You dunt read good, do you
I think the main reasons why it's less admired is that you're not breaking new ground. You follow a well trodden path full of support. The annual death rate is down to 1% and ~2/3 make it up. Also, most people are not experienced, but depend on others to a high degree. Like bowling with the fences up.
However, I don't think people dying is one of them. Fatalities is one of the few things that shocks people. Danger is a treasured spice of a sheltered life. Overcoming fear of death might provide a sense of dignity.
some people probably knowingly pay to die up there
Dudes on Everest and he can't even stand straight. The others looked like they had no clue either. Glad everyone is ok.
@L. Bradley Sorry 'L' but I don't know what you are on about. When did I mention a helicopter? I am going to hold off on calling you a genius at this point...
God damn those Sherpas are good. It’s amazing they can get that newbie up that giant mountain.
Its crazy how hard it is to rescue one person 😟 everyone should literally be in best shape of their life even before trying to climb everest imo
That is not a proper fitness standard. The best shape in an overweight couch potato’s life is when he can make 3 trips to the fridge in 2 minutes.
Omg😳 I’m glad everyone’s ok. Thanks for sharing!
Wow that was crazy.!! You guys did amazing with staying calm I know that made all the difference 👍🏻👍🏻
Как хорошо, что его вытащили из провала. Вот что значит команда, в которой первая скрипка - это трудяжки шерпы! И мужчина умничка, не паниковал, спокойно дал ребятам сделать свое дело!
Very few people could climb without the help of the Sherpa!
I'm afraid not even 10% are capable.
I could climb it easy with my eyes closed for free if anything the sherpas would be slowing me down
I agree, though many dirtbag climbers wouldn’t be so clueless in this situation.
Major respect for the Sherpas on Everest. They're basically the only rescue team up there.
Bro sherpas have huge guts 🙏❤️
You can tell by the way the Sherpas move how competent and professional those guys are.
