Hehe!
Why are Sherpas so powerful? Why are they so physically good?
(1) Altitude adaptability, Sherpas live at high altitudes for a long time, more than 4 kilometers above sea level, which makes their bodies adapt to extreme oxygen thin environments and have high tolerance and adaptability.
(2) Genetic inheritance, the body of Sherpas, inherits the dominant genes for survival in the high-altitude environment, which make their cardiovascular system, lung function and blood oxygenation ability relatively strong, and better adapt to the plateau environment.

The Sherpas are a people who live in the Himalayan region, mainly in Tibetan areas of Nepal and China, and are famous as the indigenous people of the Everest region, Sherpas as well as amazing mountaineering skills and excellent physical strength!
There is a joke in the mountaineering community that if the cost is in place, Sherpas can carry explorers to the summit of Mount Everest, and without Sherpa guides, humans may not be able to climb Mount Everest.
The epidemic has been closed for a long time for 3 years, and many of them want to challenge themselves and challenge their limits this year.
According to media reports, nearly 500 people from around the world signed up this year, which is also the largest number in history. There are simply not enough Sherpas on the entire southern slope of Mount Everest, and the cost of the guide is now about 30,000!
Sherpas are mostly based in Nepal and are said to be a group of people of faith. For some people, the meaning of life is to challenge themselves and keep climbing the peak! The youngest person to climb Mount Everest is said to be 16 years old.
The most times to climb Mount Everest is also Sherpas, 26 times, from the base camp to the summit, even if you are the three most powerful in the world, the same route takes 3~4 days.
The world is closely related to their growth environment, they live in the west of the Himalayas, mainly distributed in Nepal, China's Tibet, India, not only do they live at an altitude of about 4700 meters, the local air is thin, they have super lung capacity, their blood pressure is very low, so as to ensure that the brain blood supply is sufficient, due to his own ability and talent, he has climbed Mount Everest and assisted others to climb Mount Everest as a career, he will help every climber train to boil water, cook, set up tents, make beds, Carry luggage, carry oxygen cylinders. The most important thing is that he will be explored before each certifier, to pave the way.
Many people ask why do you have to pave the road every year or something? Yes, because the structure of the ice changes every year, it has to be resurfaced with water, and these are available for an additional fee. Even so, the cost of climbing for each climber is about 300,000, the cost left for the guide is less than 30,000 yuan, each mountaineering record is about 5~60 days, and each Sherpa or every two Sherpas can only serve one climber!
So how much does it really cost to climb Mount Everest?
From the north slope is 40 ~ 500,000, the southern slope Nepal 200,000 ~ 1 million, in the south slope full commercial operation of more than a dozen companies, the service concept is somewhat different, but the cost comes from 4 parts: the first part is definitely still mountaineering permission (about 100,000), the second is your equipment (about 40,000), the third is your round-trip transportation (about 10,000), the fourth is actually the cost of the guide (about 30,000), climbing Mount Everest is actually not achieved overnight, For example, I went to climb tomorrow morning today, not like that, when you apply to climb Mount Everest, there is a condition.
Many people think that people who climb Mount Everest should be athletes, have a good physique, and have a strong psychological quality. In fact, strictly speaking, there are not so many requirements, but the most basic physical fitness you have to have, for example, if you take two steps and breathe, then it will definitely not work, for example, you are a little strong and a little fat and a little meat, this is okay, the state is very good, what outdoor sports or training every week.
Oxygen tanks are essential materials for climbing Mount Everest, and lack of oxygen is the deadliest danger at high altitude, remember!
There's a mystery story here. According to legend, there is a mysterious creature called the snowman in the Himalayas, and the first to discover this mysterious creature was the local Sherpas. According to the legend of the snowman, it is a mysterious creature between man and ape, with a huge body, red hair and a long gray-yellow hair. It is sometimes gentle, sometimes fierce, and has the power to control everything; It moves quickly and freely through different spaces, leaving a mysterious aura everywhere it goes. Sherpas are also known as: Sheba, Sherpa. The mysterious Mount Everest nourishes the Sherpas and also gives them a mysterious color.
"The Sherpa people's religious belief is Tibetan Buddhism, mainly Sakya and Kagyu schools, and retains more original beliefs. Sherpas avoid eating fish, dogs and calves, and because of the influence of Hinduism, although they do not avoid beef, they never take the initiative to slaughter cattle. The staple food is corn, and fennel, chili pepper and other seasonings are used. 》
It is said that when applying to climb Mount Everest, there is a necessary condition.
For example, you need to have some people who have climbed 5 kilometers, 6 kilometers or 7 kilometers to have the conditions to sign up, and it takes about two months to wait for Mount Everest, and then, you are in the base camp, you start repeated altitude training, maybe today climbed 5,000 meters up and down, up and down repeatedly 6,000 meters, repeatedly in the test, they also test the time, efficiency, but also keep paying attention to the weather conditions, this is a long cycle.
Now all the things to be prepared for mountaineering are provided with services, your guide, your supplies, road ropes, your tents, including food and drink, in fact, there are people serving you, the more money you spend, the more services are in place.
The base camp chef will provide a hearty meal, feed every climber as much as possible, a climb will lose more than 10 pounds, in order to maintain physical function, they need enough calories to maintain physical fitness!
Then you in the Everest base camp mobile phone data is extra charge, why is it said that between 200,000 ~ 1 million, because the service you enjoy is different, the more money you spend, the better the service, then the more comfortable your tent, you climb to that time, you can come up and eat, such as someone cooks for you, boils noodles, and what red wine! The more money you spend, the more people will bring you oxygen cylinders, food and drink.
Climbing Mount Everest is most afraid of catching a cold, and you must not forcibly climb the summit.
The deadliest danger during climbing is hypothermia!
"Hypothermia", in fact, means that the heat loss of the human body is greater than the heat supply, resulting in a decrease in the temperature of the core area of the human body, which is hallucinogenic at light and organ failure at worst!
It's worth noting that hypothermia doesn't just occur in winter, it's no exception in summer! The scary thing is its imperceptibility! Hypothermia will have a progressive process, at the beginning of mild hypothermia may feel cold, shivering, numb and stiff, tired, reduced reflexes, to the later severe hypothermia is not to feel cold, or do not feel cold but feel hot, will undress abnormally, and then lose will coma!
Many people have never understood why it is so dangerous, and they still have to go, knowing that their lives may fall, and they have to insist on going. Isn't there anything more meaningful than this? Figure what? What if you board?
A netizen replied: "They didn't waste any public resources, they just died on their ideals!" ”
I just want to say that for those of us who can't go, it's never understood! It's even more impossible to empathize. It is admirable to love something with life, but I think it is not worth it, people living is the biggest challenge, isn't it?
One netizen said: "I met the mountaineering guide with my chin in Beijing, and I asked him what dreams do you have?" You are helping all the people to realize their dreams all day long, what dreams do you have, their dreams are to hope that they can go to a better school for their children, and they hope that their parents can come to Lhasa, China to retire. At that time, I realized that they are also ordinary people, and they do such dangerous work for the sake of a better life for their families. ”
They are Sherpas who live at the foot of Mount Everest, and there is a joke in the mountaineering community, if the cost is in place, Sherpas can carry explorers to the summit of Mount Everest, and without Sherpas as guides, humans may not be able to climb Mount Everest. Do you endorse it?
I hope that the life of the Shabal people is getting better and better, and they don't have to do such a dangerous job, it's really too hard! This is taking life to earn money, it's really sad to watch!
Recently, netizens photographed the "Rizhao Golden Mountain" at the foot of Mount Everest in Tibet, the picture is extremely spectacular, good luck to see, so beautiful!
"Hold fireworks in your hand to make a living, and stop and forget and follow the wind!"
When we were young, we always thought that we could solve many problems when we grew up, and now we find that growing up is the beginning of the problem. Where is there any two-way strategy in life, in just a hundred years, it is just to teach people to choose.
People are used to understanding happiness as having a car, a house, money, and power.
In fact, happiness should be:
No worries, no worries, no diseases, no disasters, no worries, no hangings!
A recent quote I liked:
In life, there is no happiness and unhappiness, only contentment is not contentment, food and clothing are good luck, no disease and no disaster is blessing!
