Everything A Sherpa Guide Carries To The Summit Of Everest | Inside Everest | Business Insider

Pastemba Sherpa, a Mount Everest guide, breaks down every piece of gear Sherpa guides use to summit the world's tallest mountain. All of this equipment needs to be carried up and back, so guides can't afford any unnecessary weight. Oxygen tanks, down suits, and headlamps are essential for keeping him and the climbers safe.

I love that Snickers are sherpa approved gear for the climb.

Including the equipment, personnel, food and permits, an expedition costs like $50, 000 at minimum excluding the training before the attempt. Cherry on top is you could die and your body may not even be recovered because of the altitude. It is truly a rich person hobby.

[upgrade]

I’ll watch this in my comfy bed. Never planing to do this

[ColonelPeppers]

Snickers should sponsor the Sherpas with free chocolate bars.

Gotta laugh at the extreme dudes walking with nothing while Sherpa carrying a full load…the extreme dudes pack…& the extreme dudes have utube channels and write books lol…Sherpas are the hero’s

[oliverfalco]

The zipper to poop... that's probably all my tiny brain is gonna be able to retain from this video after I wake up tomorrow

[johngrasing]

I really like these videos about the Sherpa's and the local people.

[matchpoint]

With all the advanced equipment it is crazy that they still use a utility ladder to walk across gaps in the ice. One day in the future people will look at videos and say looks how primitive climbing used to be they used ladders to walk on. They need something with a complete flat surface instead of rungs every 1 foot, it looks so easy to get pointed crampons stuck in.

[philip]

The most important factor is paying a Sherpa to haul all the heavy shit for you.

[CodingAqyanoos]

Climbing mountain is so fun and enjoying. Great video.

Piękne widoki na szczyty. przejście przez Khumbu no i wspinaczka przy poręczówkach 😊😊😊😊😊😊. Najważniejsze to sprawdzić sprzęt, przygotować wszystko do drogi i ruszać przed siebie. pozdrawiam szerpow. Szanuję waszą pracę. ❤❤❤❤❤. Renata

Sherpas are so awesome . I can’t imagine climbing the headrest peaks and getting others there for a career

[Cutch]

ive always wanted to see mt everest. i dont really care to actually climb it. just want see it up close and be in its presence. ive heard the hike just to get up to that area can take up to a week. crazy stuff.

[HardwareGeek]

I'm going to make use of Snickers on all of my treks from now on. If it can help on Mount Everest, it can be useful anywhere.

[lastprophet]

My grandpa had a dierrhea while climbing... You can still see his poop, greenish yellow, on the mountain side.

[Juandelgadoo]

Now I know why snickers are so good in an airplane😂

[nadia]

Made me think of Mallory and Irvine's clothing and gear..

[Mrwhomeyou]

very happy that he still call those jumars, so many new climbers nowdays don't call them jumars anymore

[viktor.egelund]

4:46 Ahh… those special socks that only can be used once (?!)
Any decent merino *wool* sock can be used for weeks without washing.

[johncameron]

Full cost at the end and how often does he climb?
