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
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 .
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 UA-cam 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
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.
👍🏾
'Sherpa' is almost like a superhuman. They work as guide, porter, cook, saver one a time.
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
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.
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...!!
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
Sherpa are just simply superhuman. Extraordinary strong will, durable, people yet humble and friendly. Salute to these Sherpa
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
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.”
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.
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
Salute and respect to the Sherpas..keepers of the Himalayas!!
#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😂
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.
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.
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 - "The REAL heroes of Everest " 👍🏾
How beautiful is this documentary. Hats off to the entire team of Slice.
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 .

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….
Hats off to our sherpa brothers❤❤
Huge respect mann
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.
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.
Hats off to the bravest of the brave Sherpas 🙏🇳🇵🇳🇵
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💪
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
Thank you for doing this video.
THANK YOU for honouring Sherpas.
My head and back hurts after seeing sherpas carry heavy loads of stuff😢
Sherpa's are amazing people
Very true 😊😊💕💕💕
I can’t imagine myself carrying those bags for 2 straight weeks! Damn. They are built different!
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
Sherpas The real heroes of M. Everest
@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.
Reminds me a bit of the local people in PNG who carried wounded Australian soldiers during WWII and also a lot of their supplies.
Thank you very much for the video and such a great information. 🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵
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
We nepali proud to be sherpa famely and sheroa guide 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Long live the sherpas, Jai Nepalese, love from 🇮🇳
A modest presentation. Very nice.
Looking at Everest from far makes it looks small and that you can tackle it like nothing. But watching so many videos and all the camps you have to pass makes it look like a giant cause it is a Giant . Just like K2 . Respect to all those who reach the summit and rip to those who die on the way.
a pleasant tribute to the sherpas!!
cheers
The unsung heroes of the mountains.
The everest relic colection was amazing
Its wonderfull to follow your video..i could know the other part of the world and i really dont know when i could visit❤
Thank You.🕊💐❣️🙏
thanks, great respect video
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 .
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.
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 extremely lethargic when in low land areas.
amazing!!!
And thank you for the video
4:41 "my uncle - last Sherpa from Everest 1953" - strange - it is just 4 weeks ago that I met Kancha Sherpa who worked for Tenzing Norgay, setting up the last camp on the South Col in 1953, and he was VERY alive!
The Sherpas are the REAL and ONLY Heroes on that Summit. Praises to the Sherpas 🙏🙌👏
Sherpa and Himalayas are synonym😊
Crazy how before Ive from Patagonia.. ice axes didn’t have the bend. That small change revolutionized climbing.
Amazing!
There's something so magnifying about this Mountain!! 🏔️🙏
Wow a great information
Huge respect for the sherpas ❤
Wow...🥰🥰🥰
Love nature 🎉
Excellent.
Very GOOD jOb 👍 Likeable Vedio,,, khRA hAi,,, pACCA
Love it
And these brave serve the Indian Army in the Gorkha Regiment. Jai Hind
Sherpas are some true badasses.
Incredible
Omg, they're climbing while carrying those heavy bags 😣
Does anyone know what sort of weight the sherpas might be carrying at different points of the climb? Some of those loads look insane
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.
👍🏾
Fabulous
Congratulations to those brave people
Sir Edmund Hillary Legend 💯💯💯🤘🤘🤘
Hermoso.s. Paisajes y bello pais
Too much hardworking for Sherpa
Nice view of Everest with very good natation .
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.
Rise Up Sherpa People!The Mother Goddess is telling us in her way! Rise up and and take back what is Yours!
God bless Nepal..
Hail the real heroes
Good and beautiful mountains.tamilnadu.
This man 6:36 appeared in the old footage of finding Michael... In thd region of khumbu ice fall
What amazing people.
Tashi delek ! 😉
the real heroes of Everest.
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.
Super
It's a Rich people game/ sport, seldom the cost of climbing is presented, it cost a lot!
I learned that during my research on Mt Kilimanjaro in 2019. I decided not to go and crossed it off my bucket list. I went to enjoy myself for 3 weeks at the Turkish Rivera instead. It's a completely different journey but I don't have anything to prove to anyone. I accepted that I have an injury and just take it easy.
The closest thing I did was in September 2021, to hike the Moses mountain at the Egypt Sinai peninsula. With the help of camel Ride 90% of the journey, the Sherpa wearing flip flops, we climbed the last steep 45 min to the top for the 5am sunrise. I was picked up from hotel at 8 pm the night before, got to the bottom of the mountain by midnight and started the climb. On the way down, we stopped at the St Catherine monastery, saw the BURNING BUSH from the ancient site.it was a spiritual journey, but I don't want to ride the camel up/ down the mountain anymore 😳😥
Well done brother!! But you can come Nepal for hiking and trail trekking in foothills of Mountains!! You can get a guide or a map and hike by yourself!! It is as enjoyable as mountain trek. You even can experience different cultures and food !!
Respect Sherpa in the mountain 🏔️ Everest where it's porter assistant project who help porters in the world especially everloding three meal a day and paid well why I didn't see them in evarest because one of main policy of this project it's to find right of porter in the world and I didn't see any right of Sherpa in evarest
🇳🇵jay Nepal ❤️
Nice Vice.
Living in that tough condition they certainly need many gods, one won’t cut it
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.
Absolute legends sherpas are.
Watching
The most BADASS humans with innocent soul -- " Sherapas"
