I was really enjoying this film until the arrogant and selfish attitudes of the western climbers and their guides bubbled to the surface after 16 (yes 16 !! Sherpa died)
With the exception of 2 that were interviewed the rest were a total embarrassment to the climbing fraternity (of which I am one).
To call the Sherpa at the meeting, 24 hours after seeing 16 of their own died, as 'irrational' was unbelievably disgusting.
99.99% of these 'climbers' would have zero chance of getting up that mountain without the Sherpa's ZERO.
The way they sauntered off to base camp with their little tiny day-backs while behind and ahead of them Sherpa's including woman carted massive backpacks of kit in their behalf - just because they have the wherewithal to pay their way up to the summit.
The fact that you arrogant lot can actually expect these incredibly poorly paid and poorly looked after Sherpa to continue on NO MATTER WHAT just so you can go home and brag you 'climbed' Everest - you are a joke.
And as for that idiot comparing the Sherpa to the terrorists who took down the Twin Towers???? Wow, I hope you never summit any mountain ever again.
