welcome to The Everest... its there and always well be
+ampha sherpa Respecting you dear sherpa........You are doing greate of you........
+ampha sherpa Hi im a university Student and we have to present a job, and i choosed to present the job of Sherpa because it's the job i have the most admiration for. Be sure that you'll have the respect you deserve
+ampha sherpa All my Respect! I have never been to Everest, I wish I could gaze upon its magnificence awe inspired beauty just once, to see with my own eyes the moonlight as it glistens off the summit and stars streaking across it peak OH WOW Everest has this spirit, like a rare endangered wild animal, to be viewed from a distance, never touched and most certainly NEVER conquered, defeated or tamed. I feel this deep soulful sadness when I see the garbage, and worse the bodies, who's spirits are forever lost, trapped or connected to the spirit of the mountain they went to conquer.
I have watched several documentaries, to me it seems to be like a double edged sword. If it wasn't for the need of so many outsiders for "Personal" glory or desire to dominate, tame and "Conquer" that which can NEVER be tamed nor conquered, maybe so many lives wouldn't be lost or at constant risk, and so many Sherpa's wouldn't be forced to risk their lives to climb it, so that their children will never need to take that risk, living a longer and far better life, one in with they can once again look at the mountain, and finally see it again in all its magnificent beauty, awe inspiring splendor and its wild untamed spirit.
Maybe if those wishing to climb Everest had to leave a deposit, which would cover the cost of removing their body should they parish on the mountain, if and when its becomes accessible. Maybe then the magnitude and danger of what they are about to endeavor, will be put into a better and far more accurate and realistic perspective. The following is not meant to be disrespectful, nor is it my intention to diminish the intensive risk, its merely meant to break the tension an sorrow I feel. I'm sure many reading this can come up with far more creative and witty acronyms, I look forward to them.
D.E.A.T.H (Deceased Excavation And Transportation Holding) Fee
D.E.A.D (Dangerous Excavation And Delivery) Fee Maybe D.E.A.D (Deceased Evacuation And Delivery) Fee
B.R.R. (Bodily Remains Recovery) Fee maybe B.R.R. (Body Recovery Removal) Fee
B.R.R.R. (Bodily Remains Recovery Removal) Fee
C.O.L.D. (Cadaver Operational location Department ) Fee
Z.E.R.O. (Zone, excavation Recovery, Operation ) fee.
Bear Grills used a type of motorized glider parachute thing, to get down from Everest, so maybe technology will find not only a way to help those in emergency situations, but a safer way to enjoy the magnificence that is Everest

They laughed at the photo of a Sherpa guy holding a stuffed toy in Mt. Everest but for that Sherpa guy it was this stuffed that gives him motivation to survive in those deadly situation as it reminds him of his kids.
Dipesh Gurung that laugh was not criticize laugh. That was just a cute and funny laugh.
This hits me hard 😢
Dipesh Gurung, I laughed but not out of disrespect but because I do the same thing. I have some token that I also look upon for motivation. Perhaps these that laugh also see the similarity.
tear drops on this comment
There's nothing wrong with laughter..
hope the misconception about the Sherpa people will soon vanish....proud to be Sherpa.
Love you and bless you so much!

Tsewang Kalden Sherpa Sherpas are the reason so many are reaching the summit now. People were dying a lot more when they didn’t have sherpas there to help them.
Tsewang Kalden Sherpa l WISH I WERE YOU! How Proud Your Family Must Be To Have An EXPERT Mountain Climber. WOW, WOW AMAZING.
There is no misconceptions. Without Sherpa nobody would climb Everest. The Sherpa are beasts
The Sherpas actually climb Everest. Others just get along.
They get along? What do you mean ahaha
Well and all the guys who do it without oxygen
are you just.... insane??
Yea. They get along. Its a good thing.
That's as hard and cold as the north face :)
They deserve recognition! They're loyal and selfless people!
They deserve so much more money than they actually get.
yes all nepali people need reconogation and nepal had so many brave ethinicity group like gorkha world most brave, loyal and fearless warriors and sherpa most fearless and climbers people's and tharu the most old ethnicity and one of the brave and friendly people's.
Everyone says "I climbed Everest"
But actually... Sherpas climbed Everest...
Respect..
As a climber, without a doubt the real, real, real heroes of Mount Everest ARE the Sherpas! They are the rock stars of the climbing community. The unsung heroes. Sir Edmund Hillary will NOT have climbed Mount Everest without the Sherpa Tenzing Norgay and he knows that! Thus, with that said I salute these amazing and wonderful people that are the Sherpas. They are heroes. They are world champions. They ARE true and incredible athletes. I salute the Sherpas.
Well said
Hang on a moment if people wouldn't be able to climb the mountain without sherpas then how does that make sherpas hero's because if they cannot even get up the mountain they wouldn't need saving or guiding because they wouldn't even be in that position jn the first place to be even able to climb the mountain if anything sherpas actually put people on the mountain by offering them a service then get called hero's that dose. Not make sense
Actually think about it they offer a service to. Mountaineering company's to get novice climbers up the mountain nobody forces them. If their services was not available and their was no such thing as a *sherpa* then their would. Be way less people dying on the mountain because they simply would never be able to do it in the dam. First place this is a major flaw people have missed with the sherpas actually offering a carry you up. The mountain service they actually invite novice climbers to the mountain.... And then you. Will say its their way of making money we'll then why blame westerners it makes ZERO sense
@@TrueredsunitedTv Your sentences are all over the places its making me confused but i think i understand some of it. I mean like whats wrong with calling the sherpas as heroes? They deserved it, no need to deny that. And i don't understand what you mean by " sherpas actually put people on the mountain by offering them a service then get called hero's that dose". They dont invite novice climbers, people *CAME* to them with big chunks of money on the line and of course they will do whatever they can to make sure the climbers reached their goals and return safely, Its their job after all and wdym by "why blame westerners". That doesn't make any senses or i'm just too stupid to understand your confusing sentences.
@@hafann i can go further the sherpa knows that the climbers are novices they still. Accept their money take. Them. Up knowing their not good enough they die on the mountain and their haild hero's..........nobody puts a gun to their head they offer a service to aid people up. A mountain so. Why is it when the customer or. Sherpa dies the sherpa is haild a hero while. The climber was just stupid....its not reasonable logic
@@TrueredsunitedTv 100! Correct!
This guy knows next to nothing about climbers sherpas, the mountaineering industry, etc.
Everest is a $2Billion industry just in 2 months out of the year.
Many sherpa either run their own expeditions or advertise their services.
The West is not responsible for the poverty they live in ... the Nepalese government is.
There is just so much ignorance within his presentation that it would take too long to explain.
Every photo he used, he inaccurately described what was actually happening and why.
He is factually incorrect, therefore, how can anything else he says be believed?
Climbers risk their life for bragging rights and Sherpas risk their life in order to provide for their family. "It's not all about us".
Sherpas need to start some type of union to get better benefits from companies and the government. The can't climb without them
I love this!
Proud To Be #Sherpa 💪💪
pema sherpa Yap Me 2
pema sherpa dont be proud of being sherpa infact make sherpa proud of you...JAY NEPAL.🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵😊😊😊😊🤗🤗🤗
pema sherpa I respect you, Penma
:) :) :) i love to meet you guys one day
Be safe ✌
we can climb Everest without oxygen but not without Sherpas.
Thats not true plenty of people climb everest without sherpas. Your point is completely wrong.
🙏
Climbing everest Without oxygen what a joke kid
@@saikatdas5502 which part of climbing everest without oxygen is a joke? the fact that shitloads of people have done it?
@@niktravels7633 the people who has done it are dead
For the first time, I heard from a westerner "It's not all about Us" . Proud of you
I want (and have wanted for years) a full-length documentary of these amazing people. We spend so much time watching wealthy people (some of whom have no business doing so) climbing Everest, and always they _require_ the help of Sherpas. Who helps the Sherpas? No one. These people are fascinating and incredible adventurers, perhaps some of the bravest and toughest adventurers on the planet. Get on that documentary, NatGeo!
Also wanted to add that this talk was incredible, and the photographer hugely talented (and brave!). I really appreciated his take on the Sherpas and, judging from many comments here, the Sherpas did as well. More like this, please.
Clearly you haven't looked, cuz there's a few free ones to watch on RUclips, we're uploaded years before you made your comment
We are sherpa so thank you so much you like sherpa

@@akineiar2301 I believe your job takes the biggest risks of any climber. Sherpas need to unite and strengthen to start a climber's union. Sherpas are not getting paid enough. While other companies are still getting rich sending inexperienced climbers on the mnt Everest putting life at risk. Nobody climbs without a sherpa or a porter both should unite and make a strong union.
@@basedsalty6970 sherpas and lama are different
Not all sherpas are mountain climbers
sherpas are superhumans
For me sherpas are better humans.
Great video and magnificent finale : ....That it's not all about us!
Yes they d
Yes they are
yes its true
Absolutely amazing look at the culture and life of the Sherpa. I won't lie, I'm one of those ignorant Westerners who thought that Sherpa was synonymous with porter, but I've loved learning about these incredible people.
you know what, visit Nepal and visit Everest or any other part once, i bet you'll just fall in deep love with this country
Sherpa is a Tibetan word meaning people from the east. Hundreds of years ago Tibetan from Kham migrated to this region of Everest and at that point of time, there was no clear border delineation between Tibet and Nepal.
The speciality of Nepal is not Everest .
Speciality is the sherpa who there.
-Apa Sherpa.
I'm a Sherpa and that was beautifully presented.
Does Everest have a Facebook check in? Will you tag me next time you go up?
My brother has climbed Mount Everest a number of times with the help of Wong Chu, a kind and experienced Sherpa. He’s one of the best, and as unassuming as they come. Sherpas are all AMAZING MEN! This was riveting!
Wong Chu does snot sound like a Sherpa name. Are you sure he’s Sherpa, or a Chinese guide who climbs mountains (like Sherpas do)? Remember Sherpa is an ethnic group, not a job.
Great! Ignore my previous post. You’re right.
the are female Sherpas too.......
I climbed mound evereast a hundred times.
Thank you so very much for reaveling this to the world. Thank you for showing that Everest is not everything that is shown only in movies....everything done by the paid heros. Its life, job and happiness for Sherpas and people of Nepal. Thank you again for showing this. Feels so proud.
They are literally strongest in both mentally and physically. Proud of them.
Excellent talk!
Amazing the way he describes the life of the Sherpas, because I watched several documentaries on Everest theme and they always pass by unnoticed, and they are the essence of Chomolungma.
Luis Filippe Ullmann Qomolangma is where the earth goddess lives. The purifying ceremony isn't asking for permission to climb, but forgiveness from climbing and stepping on her. The Sherpa community take care of the mountain because it is sacred land.
interviewer : How many do you think could submit the Sagarmatha(Everest) without sherpas??
Sherpa: none
Finally someone credited them. Such a nice presentation. Hats off to the narrator and more respect for the Sherpa community.
Good talk! Not only a good photographer but also a good speaker!
So people do pay upwards of $80k to summit everest, but most of that goes to the foreign/domestic travel agencies which planned their summiting. Sherpas get paid just about $5k-$8k. Excluding tip. Giving that's a considerable sum of money in Nepal, i don't think it's good enough for risking lives. Plus some foreigners really ill treat their sherpas, and i heard this from sherpas themselves in namche bajar when i was there on october. From food they give to the way they talk to sherpas are so discriminating. Their job is to guide them but it kinda feels like they're a personal butler or a servant(i didn't say this the guide did). Wake up at 4-5 run to get the hotels booked, cook for them, babysit them, and do things at their whim.
So all in all, no they do not get paid as much as they should, and they do not get treated with respectlike they should be. In internet yes, in the everest where it really matters, most of the time, no.
It's not uncommon for men to take jobs that include a very real risk of accidental death. It happens in every Country all around the World.
No its not
@@coffeefish but the risk of climbing mountain is whole next level
@@fursangesherpa1376 buddy people have jobs that are alot more dangerous than climbing everest.
@coffeefish I'm not talking about the risk involved. I'm talking about giving the due respect. Westeners mostly feel very entitled more than they should. Giving money is one thing, but ill-treating people and taking people's kindness for granted is totally different.
Tenzin Sherpa reached to the top with all his equipments on his back and including Hillary's bagpack.
Respect to the sherpas who make the dreams of the bourgeoisie come true!
This is the best thing I've seen in a while! Thanks for sharing these stories and images. So much love and respect for these heroes!
👏🏻👏🏻👌🏽 Namaste to all the Sherpas from India 🙌🏽😍
Great Sherpas making our country proud
Finally. Thank you so very much for this! The Sherpas are the strongest mountaineers in the world. Very FEW can handle Everest without them..yet others get the glory…. but we all know it’s the SHERPAS making it really happen. By the comments you can still see the servant mentality some climbers have. They should say…yeah the Sherpa kept me going, kept me alive, made my dream possible. The Sherpas climb to the top of the world to provide for their family! True Heroes and examples of Love. ♥️ They inspire me.
Fantastic Presentation ! It really show who are the real heroes and as usual, real heroes are always behind the scene. Well done. Awesome pictures.
Sherpas.. The Real Legends and Pride of Nepal 🇳🇵.
These lockdown times offered time to explore where the mountaineering world is now ... and was shocked to learn how much garbage & dead bodies are strewn all over on Everest ... with insane LONG lines! And I found most videos were all about those big egos that had peaked and never acknowledge that they could not have done it without the Sherpas! This is the first video that helped me understand their lives and the truth of the situation. Thank you so much, great job!
"The Romanticism of Sherpas With Mt.Everest" Its a kind of Tribute to their Audacious and Daring Job. Fantastic Natgeo.
I appreciate this documentary & applaud you for doing it. I am not a climber & certainly not a mountaineer but I can absolutely respect and appreciate the greatness of these people. Thank you for sharing
Truly terrific I have never and Don't want to climb Everest! However, I love watching documentaries and hollywood films about Everest and it always seemed to me that Sherpas were these unsung hero's, who are treated with nothing more than a footnote in most stories. Ironally, these "brave" western climbers are always the focus despite doing very little in comparison. I'm glad someone else realized this and decided to make this video!!! Now if only we can make a big Hollywood movie about Sherpas and starring Sherpas not Christian Bale and Gerard Butler lol.
BIG THUMBS UP!!!!
Funny last line
Wow, that was so informative and I love he said, "It's not all about us." Well spoken and documented.
Sherpa are ours pride.thanks man for your incredible presentation
by far the best video about the mountain folks, sherpas & porters. Big shoutout to one of the warmest communities.
Respect to Sherpas!, They're the real heroes, the unsung heroes. Proud to be Nepalese 'cause Sherpa are Nepalese.
Thank you Mr. Aaron Huey! Thank you for enlightening the world on Sherpas. I salute thee with a humble bow of my head and bringing forth the unsung heroes.
Majestic Everest and brave Sherpas ❤️🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵
Amazing! Thank you for honouring the UNSUNG HERO'S....THE REAL HERO'S!!!
It feels so selfish when people who clearly cant handle the mountain get draged up by sherpas on Mount Everest just because they have money and wanted to do so.
One of the great stories I've heard through photographs! " That is not all about us" Respect to the Sherpas and Aaron Huey
I respect that you document these amazing people & all they are. I’ve never scaled a mountain (& don’t want to), however I totally admire and respect the Sherpa men that risk their lives to support their families amidst the ignorance & egos of some people that don’t appreciate or even realize everything they do! Amazing respect to them and to you for documenting it all. Thank you for sharing
Respect to Sherpas. And the reporter who mentioned about the Sherpas.
Thank you so much for this enlightening glimpse into a different world. Outstanding!
Thanks a lot for recognising the commitments and efforts of Sherpa people at Everest in its truest form! It's an honour which we don't get even from our own Nepali fellas or government!!
Beautifully presented, well done.brother. You really managed to capture spirits of Sherpas.
These Sherpa are the real mvp . They risk their lives for others to meet a dream . These guys are taken advantage of . I could never ask another to risk their life for me .
what an illustration !! thanks for covering these unsung heroes
Thank you for acknowledging n honouring the Sherpas. Respect!!!
Thanks for coving Sherpa`s story. So touched and pleased to know about them
Love and respect for Sherpas. The day when they recently Summited K2 in our country I was really happy because I thought they deserve it.
Pakistan?
@@IDontKnow-pf6en yeah
I respect them and appreciate them met a nice number of Nepali ppl they were really nice.
'its not all about us' - very well said in the end!!!❤️
thank you for shedding light on brake respected Sherpa. God bless them, lots and lots of respect for them.
thanku for the video mate. great story.
sherpas , good job.
exactly the same feeling i have been carrying with me long time ago for sherpas... They are truely the Unsung Heroes
I really loved this honest heart- warming speech
Very well done sir, much respect from one traveler to another.
Such a beautiful culture, family is so important, and hard working. We should be looking up to them as opposed to the people looking down at them as "servants"...
Thank you for this tribute to Sherpas.They are the real heroes.
fantastic thank you for that insight into the life of the sherpa...amazing athletes indeed
Today I watched a three hour documentary abour Mt. Everest and Sherpas and I was amazed at. They are so strong physically and mentally. I respect them so much.
Well done. Sherpas deserve much more credit than what is given.
Great respect to the Sherpas who actually climb mountains with all d equipments and bagpacks while we glorify d others who somehow managed to d top with d constant care of f Sherpas..they deserve more respect but in reality is totally opposite.. without d Sherpas climbing Everest is surely impossible..
this is so beautiful capture! they deserve recognition!
I met Danuru. He is so cool. He told me about this climb with Huey.
uhuh, sureeeee you did!
Haha he was a guide on my Quest for Everest trip. 😂 Look that up on RUclips or Google with my name.
Sherpas- thank you for all you do! We respect you and pray for you 🙏
i am obsessed with everything to do w everest, mountaineering, sherpas... oxygen, death zone, beck, hillary, acclamation, cerebral edema... i do not hike climb or even exercise rite now but- completely fascinated!!🖤
meeshy 1313 lol same here I just get the chills on every footage there is on the death zone I don't know but every time I have this feeling that reaching the summit is soooooooo extremely cool and extremely scary!!

Me too..
Amazing.. Big cheers for you to bringing this up and making people aware of this side of the story as well..
