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
It would be a very high amount of Sherpas who have reached the summit of Mount Everest comparied to european climbers.
Mount Everest is important to the Sherpas for 2 main reasons: 1: Because of the height of the mountain it is closer to there gods. 2: Climbers from all over the world bring much needed money into the region when they come to climb Mount Everest.
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.
