«The Sherpas fix the lines and ropes; set up the tents; carry all the gear, the oxygen, the personal items, the food, the sleeping bags. They set everything up. When a client walks with the Sherpa later, everything has already been laid out: the tents are up, the food is made for them. They don’t have to do anything but walk.» Tenzin is the son of the Sherpa that was on the first expedition on Everest.
