Would the South Koreans even try looking for the Sherpas?
I know a guy that climbs a lot. A Sherpa died on one of their climbs. The group got together and built a new home for the family. And after being in the village for awhile saw other needs (school?, etc.). The guy said that even in Nepal the Sherpas are pretty low on the totem pole. They still send funds monthly to the family to help out with things. Of course the $100 or whatever they send over is nothing to him, and everything to the Sherpa’s family.
The south Koreans were trying for media coverage to get Everest sponsorship. I do not think the Sherpas fit into their plan.
My Dunkin Donuts girl is from Nepal-——first person I ever met from there.
A VERY hard worker.
