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.

The role that the Sherpas had on the 1953 Mount Everest expedition is the same as they still do now. They carry gear/equipment, make camps up the mountain. They break trail by making routes. Some cook and look after other climbers. Sherpas are very much part of an expedition.

150lbs is a good average load

Sherpas are the native people who live within range of Mount Everest. On the mountain they have lots of roles: Cook- providing the meals Porter - carry equipment to higher camps Guide - helping you reach the summit
With a forklift, carry the load on the uphill side.
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.
Sherpas who were born near the Himalayan Mountains are use to the cold. They keep warm by wearing extra clothing, much of which is mountain clothing left to them after expeditions they have worked on.
