      If the climber survived I sure hope the sherpa was well compensated.

      I bet this happens more often than we imagine. Then the person being carried returns home and builds up a career as an organizational advisor and a ted speaker.

      It is an absolute joke that anyone other than Sherpas get any sort of fame and renown from an Everest climb.

      Basically the man was sponsored to climb Everest, couldn’t make it and was on deaths door, Sherpa went rescue mood and hiked down with him on his back to save him or he would’ve for sure died. Man then goes to thank his Sponsors and not the Sherpa on his media pages. Gotta make that bread I guess. But anyways internet flips on his shit for being a pos and ungrateful.

      Epic story. The amazing thing isn’t that he’s carrying the weight – Sherpas are legendary at that – but that he is moving that fast at that altitude. Most flat-landers couldn’t match that pace without a load.

      Stop going there, unless you’re on a mission to pick up all the trash.

      I see these clips and keep thinking I am seeing Death Stranding since it just seems so unreal someone could do it IRL without mechanical assistance. Damn I wish I could talk to a Sherpa they must have some stories.

      Oftentimes climbers will disregard their Sherpas advice and then rely on them, endangering both their lives, while the Sherpa saves the day. All the while paying them peanuts. Sherpas are the true Everest warriors.

      If I remember right, he was guiding another group up the mountain, saw a climber who had dangerous altitude sickness, and canceled the climb to help him descend.

      I take it someone didn’t listen to the Sherpa and had to be carried off. This often happens, rich and stubborn thrill seekers often don’t respect the advice of Sherpa’s and end up paying a heavy cost

      This is some incredible show of perseverance…but on the other hand, this should not count as summiting

      You pay 10’s of thousands to climb Everest. You vastly underpay the sherpas who will drag your ass back down if you run into trouble. Unpack 10% of your pay for the year and give it to them as a bonus. You can well afford it.

      Don’t the sherpas get an insurance check for this kinda stuff? There was a controversy about climbers getting snuck stuff to make them sick so they’d call for rescue and insurance pays out.

      Doesn’t really seem like it should count if you have to be carried part way.

      This is a perfect euphemism for how difficult circumstances are distributed globally. Millionaires and billionaires being carried on the backs of the poorest people on earth. Then they turn around and talk about how hard they worked
