The world s second highest peak k2 with kami rita sherpa in 2014. kami sjust an amazing human being, kami rita. like you said, i was on k2 with him so i saw him in action. he just has a tremendous sense of humour, he s incredibly team orientated, and obviously phenomenally strong. you mentioned he was out there route setting. tell us a bit more about the roles that sherpas play on mount everest. fixing the ropes, so there is a thin nylon rope about 6mm, about the size of your finger, this is routed all the way from base camp at 17,500 feet to the summit at almost 29,000 feet. and so, that rope has to be attached to the snow every 100 to 150 metres using ice screws or eyes pickets. so, not only is there a physical toll of carrying the ropes on your back, but also then you have to screw these anchors into the snow and then attach the rope to the anchor.
