Indeed, very few significant successes have been achieved without them.When Western mountaineers first set their sights on the worlds highest peak, they found in the Sherpas a people ideally suited to the hardship of high-altitude climbing, unfailingly positive, stout at altitude, and seemingly resistant to cold. Sherpas did not venture into the high peaks until European mountaineers began arriving to climb in the worlds greatest mountain range. Mount Everest, known as Chomolungma or “Goddess Mother of the Land” to the Sherpas was long considered as a living place of the gods where humans were not allowed to go. Although Everest now sees many a human footprint, the Sherpas still regard the mountain as a holy place.Sherpas were first employed as porters, tasked with carrying large amounts of equipment to supply the military-style expeditions of the day. The early climbers were amazed at the strength of these people, from the fittest of mature men to the young and elderly. In addition to their heavy loads, some of the women even carried along their babies. The whole troop of Sherpas slept outside, using only rocks for shelter, as temperatures dropped well below freezing.Stronger Sherpas soon graduated from porter status and began to undertake challenging climbing. Those who distinguished themselves were awarded the Tiger Medal, and many desired this honor and the higher pay rate it afforded. Despite the potential dangers, the Sherpa people remained enthusiastic about taking part in Everest expeditions, which even then were becoming an important source of income for a poor mountain folk.21. Sherpas didnt go into the high peaks before Europeans arrival mainly becauseA. they enjoyed staying at low altitudesB. they were short of proper equipmentC. they were unaware of their potentialsD. they considered the mountain as holy22.
