Listen "Why More Sherpas than EVER are DYING on Everest in Recent Years"
Episode Synopsis
The cost of climbing Everest just went up—A LOT! But, at what cost? Nepal has raised permit fees to $15,000 per climber, yet none of that money is going toward improving Sherpa safety. In this video, we expose how Everest has become a business where money talks, and ethics disappear.Featuring an exclusive interview with Angela Benevides of ExplorersWeb, we uncover the heartbreaking story of Nawang Sherpa, who had no prior Everest experience but was assigned to assist a climber attempting a no-oxygen summit bid. When things went wrong, Nawang refused to leave his client’s side. Both men perished.No safety reforms. No accountability. Just another tragedy buried under Everest’s growing commercialization. So we ask—what's a life worth?Send us a text Support the showHere are a few ways you can help support us:Patreon for access to exclusive content:https://www.patreon.com/everestmysteryEVEREST MYSTERY Membership for access to perks and exclusive content:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEk3e_XGyNnqwK2ZlxH7fEA/joinTip Jar for anyone who would like to help support us:https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/EverestMystery
