They are called 'Sherpas'. They can guide climbers up the mountain and keep the route safe and open.
Because they live in the mountains so they have learned to climb since they were young, so it is a natural instinct.
It would be a very high amount of Sherpas who have reached the summit of Mount Everest comparied to european climbers.
I think maybe you are confusing Sherpas with Buddhist monks. Sherpas are Nepalese people who are experts in climbing and navigating high mountains.
Not unless you are hired as a guide or porter. Licenses to climb Everest can cost as much as $25,000 per person.
Gurkha: Nepalese soldier in the British Army. Its the name derived from their historical district "GORKHA". People of Gorkha then called GORKHALI. And so is "Gurkha" in the the British Army. (English word). Sherpas: inhabitants of the Himalayan Region of Nepal. Mountain experts. Sherpas help tourists from around the world to climb the mount summit...
The next person to climb to the top of Mount Everest is likely to be a Sherpa. It is the sherpas who fix the trail from the bottom to the top of the mountain so they will be up there before anyone else.
Does it really matter? thousands of people climb it each year, most of them rich punces with too much money that essentially get pulld up by the sherpas
I think you mean Sherpas instead of Shepards. Sherpas moved closer to Mount Everest to get work. Every climbing season hundreds of Sherpas are paid to carry loads on Mount Everest or fix routes etc. They can earn more in 1 month on Mount Everest than what they get by farming the rest of the year.
Every year on the North and South side of Mount Everest in total there are around 25 to 30 groups who wish to climb the mountain.
