Ain't no fricken way I would want any part of that mountain. I would die of a heart attack going thru the ice falls.

That was pretty enlightening. As it went on, I felt less and less sympathy for the foreign "climbers". The guy that called the protesting Sherpas terrorists (like ten times) is an absolute fricking moron.

Didn't one of them make it from the base camp to the summit of Everest in like 8 hours? Those people are a different breed.

Why werent they smart enough to open their own exhibitions? Foreigners couldnt climb it without them.

Yet, as Cannizzaro would come to learn, despite their courage and stamina, Sherpas aren’t uniformly reliable.
quote:
Cannizzaro was already ahead of the pack but irritated that he had to waste a half-hour of oxygen waiting for his Sherpa, who was late. The guide finally told Cannizzaro to go ahead and the Sherpa would catch up. “He had my extra tank of oxygen, so if he didn’t catch up, I was pretty much a sitting duck,” Cannizzaro says.
quote:
Cannizzaro felt his way toward the ladder, and just as he got there, his Sherpa appeared. The Sherpa jumped past him to the ladder and scrambled down. “He ran off with my last tank of oxygen,” Cannizzaro says. “He thought I was going to die.”
There should be a Sherpa hunting season.
