Apa Sherpa Docu-short

[Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] climbing mountains offers great life lessons about ten years ago I learned that an accomplished Mountaineer Appa Sherpa had moved to Utah his purpose to make sure his children got the education he did not receive as a boy Appa is humble and hard-working he exemplifies so much of what is good in humanity it is an honor to know him and to have this opportunity to share some of what I've learned from him with you my name is Alba shepper I climb Everest 21 times more than any other person [Music] because the average age is very challenged and Sharapova cannot do all the hard work energy to everything you know the fixed of rope in to supply the food and establish the camp is we all share but gotta do everything and in the help our clients another caring I mean the oxygen and water and the raw chicken we have to carry everything is very it's very hard work this is not easy growing up Nepal is is very hard in the pole order for people have no education so we have a notch no education no choice so we have to take a risk for doing the all the hard works of their actually my when I was young my goal was [Music] become a doctor for medical doctor go to school and become a medical doctor not not for climbing but unfortunately when I was age of 12 my was possibly then I have to leave this school because I need to support for my family then I become a porter in the beginning I used to carry the load both in my body weight wha more we carried more weight we carry we get more money so then I'll probably become a trekking guide and pole climbing was very our top life I did it a couple of years then then no no D the climbing is very Rick's but we get a little more money for climbing so there's it then after I started to go climbing when my clients are get on the top so I'm very proud upon myself you know I'm very proud because clans they pay a lot of money and because their their goal get on the top row so when we get on the top they are very happy excited in audience I'm very proud for our clients even myself I did step instead before I started from nineteen thousand five hundred fifty six thousand meters smoking then I climb another three or four mountains a thousand meters speak before Oakland airplanes we should not even wear ship or should not go directly to the aerosols another three of those meters then I started climbing Everest even the Western people they have to hike here a lot they have to train here like here in the ramen Jiro then you have to go to cram in Nepal another 8,000 meters peak before they go to Everest they should not go directly over there so there's where the the tour Sherpa we take like and Nepal and it show you those kind of awesome you to speak we take the a girl get acclimate force when you're climbing the Everest we have to be the good the mental and and also physical help when those are people they don't 8,000 meter speak then they we can each doctor average so they are oppressed is tuned in and has 35 feet there's many Rick's over there climbing the weather conditions physical conditions no the air plunges the wind the raw product so we have to we have to have on all those can experience there's way I climb 20 times out from the pole site just one time from to be outside but Nepal site I recommend fall they polled all the cranberries put the cranberries Klan nipple side because from 9,000 feet to 270 thousand five and defeat we have to walk when they get there it takes 10 11 days to get the disc in this way is good for a good for the actor having the exercise then when you get to bare skin then our clients they can rest a couple of days their best game then upon the powder ground whatever they get walk saucisson and the waiter put a green or Nadya ticket Morse's on they go around and they are me there's many lodges down there and they could drink good aid multi get ready to go to Sameera didn't spend a for a week down there [Music] Rob Hall and I claim the three times together before 96 then in 96 general Rob Hall she asked me many times joining with this group but my wife told me our path you stay home we're gonna build a loss if without you I have no idea how to build a loss stay home for me is a tough decision because if I don't listen for my wife because she is my wife if I don't listen listen for the raw whole he's my good friend I had a very tough decision you know I listen for my wife so the nice call for our older sorry I cannot join this time because oh my quiet need to help here the card got in my web server me if I don't listen for my Hawaii and it could be something heaven but good baby I can help for my good friend Rob all state live or or maybe even myself could be something heaven wouldn't we never know so but I'm so sad for Rob all my good friend but I was good to listen for my wife she saw yeah The Guardian wife surviving updated climbing a place is is not easy the altitude kills people very first type endured many times to 21 times but no one died in my group but there's many people die over there so there's well you know the some people they don't care the timing they're late some people they don't care the poor are Suzanne and I swallow also the most dangerous is I spoke because as Paul is shifting when the Sun hits an ice ball is very dangerous because when they I forget to take get or warm then this mobile shifting so we have to go L in the money people's on his while you go up their sizes the Western cone not on the right say is not there we have to go in a way that we choose to go in the middle because the Avalanche is coming both side is very dangerous and with the way act Rudy we have our the Icefall dr. robot here we call ice poor doctor the earth job is the only carry the ladder is make sure if the campus is open they have to put more leverage join it like crevasse is closed it is smash they have to have their back up the ladder over there they have to go ahead in the morning over the other and before the other people goes let's make sure everything is okay in the back people they put the rope that picks picks line they fix rope only up to Cambridge Kemper not 6,000 feet then from 26,000 feet to top command rope together sometimes three people sometimes four people put the rope together so easy it's very dangerous because one people fall then all the poor people gonna die so then after we are all Sherpa we change it so now all the crime but they don't put the rope together all Sherpa we put the rope on all the way up they can I mean the determining of in the descending down with the on the rope so when you go and hire and hire or Angada we put a shorter well he qualified or 250 metres or 25 metres very short every time I shall be behind for over hell they should for helping but just in case if they fall it is okay there's as fall out 25 meters as I say it's more safety now hope people climbing do more people died on Everest climbing Everest or coming back coming down coming down these people because you wish not people thinking when when they get on the top there they are thinking we are done now they did excited now occur on the top we're done now but it's not a done like an aeroplane only when we landed there's the success timing is very important soon as you can take it down the picture there go down because we have raised the weather change very fast they keep all the energy on the top but when you're coming down they're tired they're exhausted so there's we see there's way the people die on the way down only when we get to base game then is full success wheel and you're down there [Music] the English is Everest Nepali is soccer Matta but Sherpa in the Tibetan called Shamma Lamma its mother loudest in the back day I already know this some Western people they don't plead for their mother goddess so when the Sherpa do you do the puja ceremony they don't know participate sometimes so then a lot of people extend their so I mean the people who don't participate for the possessing money so now everybody understand now this is very important we have to do the puzzle ceremony pass for Sep climb and step combat which there's a way we should not all born any carpet over the error should not kill any animals you know to an image take over there if it would restrict something then you will get a problems we have to better respect for the Romagna before we go to this booster summit you help I heaven do the meeting again at the desk in if there's something wrong something wrong even the ordinate is late we have to turn back so life is more important then mounted modern not going anywhere life is more important we understand because they tell our money take their goal is greater there but life is more important if they'd only somebody sharper if they died their sharp also die normally they died themself she have also try that's it there's a correlation for sure good on the leadership the dreamwalk is very important there's many many rolls over there you know the cooks the abdomen make sure the food is okay all the food is okay and our share power we have to make sure all the supply know the trends and the poor and all season we have to make sure everything is be radio epic and there and our clans they have to make sure the physical and mental and the physical is already going down up and down up and down after done they're called I mean the teamwork the leadership and teamwork is very important if the teamwork the cooperation then then this good success the emphasis is not easy we have to be patient and we have to check the weather post the Sweeney's ago we found a good weather or Sherpa we have to pitch the rope up to the camera one so when we finished the camera on then our clients they call halfway to the Icefall come down the next day go up to come one so then sleep i gamble on spend an idea the by that time I'll share poor we have to fix the road again to become two and the supply all the gears camp - so our share but we have to do like there and notice supply everything I can for bacon pork and we take our clans up to 24,000 feet then we give our season for our transpose slipping and climbing or Sherpa with our own but when we are for our friends then we'll go to camp or then I want to get to camp or then our Shepherd we have no time to rest over there other clans they go there and we set up the tent and we have to make sure nailed eyes and make sure you know order for our clans people tree and soup and those kind of things then around our 8 or 9 p.m. so then we have to start from there depends if our clan is weak we have to stir around 8 o'clock because takes time people currencies is strong enough or maybe nine so then we start from there when we climbing so they take only one bottle of our asses on 12 which is they're using one they're working Tech Valley one bottles if the person they use of six bottles they take one we have to help them pi bottles carrying is LARP LARP oh wait over there getting the RO water some clients are not even the Eternity they cannot exchange their anger so we have to help them and they change the anger push up so then we have to check time to time for the other oxygen so if they walk slow then we have to crank it even more pressure when the attack season is finished then we have to give a new ones from our back and take out and change new one but warm up there is - it's not a not a easier bit why do you think Westerners are so interested in climbing Everest because of their take that there is a big Azhar their adventure there has been the world their goal is just get a long time understand the top Burmese is a nori adventure this is the reward for support for my family well the Western people are Clemens has won one or two times by adventure because they have education they have a choice you don't have to take the risks there oh so when you get on the top one time they come to come come back well worth a shot what they're going for did they have no education how we make a difference make sure the all the kids says education so then if their bias question they have a choice then dirt they don't have to take a risk in the future also the same things maybe they call a belt around if you want one or two times I get on on the top I have a passion for foundation I came here because it's better education for my for my kids Howie we wanted to help in the powerful the house or a separate community definitely the community kids education so then we found it here the optional foundation and it's the Jerry mica and he helped for the appreciate foundation if they have a education then they don't have to take that that makes it so they have a choice if they have is question they have a choice so we now we raise the money here and sent written up in Nepal for the other the Proteas school and the for the teachers our salary did Jesus which is I wanted to help for our community kids you know do for the education [Music] I go every year and make sure cool is okay I'll make sure that you would need I have to have a good teacher of their if you don't help the teacher is going to be dropped if they drop the teacher and then they have no education so we are paying for the teachers which is we are helping for the furniture and books for these schools and the since last year we have a more problem over there because earthquake all the buildings gone in the everything is flat now the average need to rebuild over there so we need a help for the opposite support prohibition for foundation and helping photos in Nepal photos rebuild those building helping for the kids and they have a better life in the future [Music] [Music] you
