Sherpas are known for their exceptional strength and endurance, often carrying loads of 40 to 50 pounds (18 to 23 kg) or more while trekking in high-altitude conditions. In some cases, they can carry loads exceeding 70 pounds (32 kg) during expeditions. Their ability to acclimatize to high altitudes allows them to perform these demanding tasks efficiently, making them invaluable in mountaineering and trekking expeditions.

Why did Shepard's move closer to mount Everest?

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.
