"SHUT THE F*#K UP FAG! I'M GOING TO COME TO YOUR HOUSE AND KILL YOU AND YOUR FAMILY I SWEAR YOU WILL REGRET CROSSING ME!!!1!1!!

"Whatever, keyboard hero..."

The international climbing community is all up in arms about this because one (actually three) of their elite climbing gods were allegedly attacked for some discrepancy, or other. We have essentially only heard from one side, so don't have all the info, but we do have well documented evidence of years of the Sherpa being "abused, annoyed, threatened, flamed upon" (all in that vid in fact) & disrespected, looked down upon and much more. Where is the outcry regarding that?

Because I am outraged about it and the lack of empathy that has been displayed here in regards to the Sherpa (& the porters, etc) and the ongoing blind eye towards an injustice that has been present for generations.

So the Sherpas should be allowed to do whatever they want because they are and have been treated badly in the past?

What about analyzing the actual situation and try to decide what was right and wrong in that situation.

Is it really ok to make death threats and throw stones at three climbers because you think that other climbers treat you badly?

Thanks a lot to Madson [edit: Garrett Madison] for explaining the details of what happened between sherpas and three European climbers.

Simone is internationally certified mountain guide, uli steck is one of the super fast and solo climber, and beside that Simone have been working on the himalaya mountain for many years as a guide, and as being a guide i think he should analyse the situation before he went on the mountain. He should have known what it used to be like on the mountain before.If they want to do the solo climb over the lothse face, why they choose the same day of fixing team, was it the only best day for them during whole year???

If they wanted to contribute the sherpa team, why didn't Simone party informed that to the fixing team before? why did not Simone and Uli steck realize that a sherpa was got hit by a block of ice from Simone's crampons and this poor sherpa was bleeding on the extremely exposed ice wall???

Many medias says simone have been doing free helicopter rescue to all the sherpas and porters, can he show the details which date and where did he free rescued the sherpas and the porters???

Even after all this great mistake as being such a well known and experienced international mountain guide, how come he use such a offensive and hurtful words like "mother f*#ker"??? -maybe its normal for simone but not normal for the mountains and the peoples.

As a guide i understand that we always respect and follow the local rules and regulations of each country so that the things always goes as it should be.
Uli steck writes on his face book that what was his mistake? While just verbal negotiations was going on, Uli steck slap one of the sherpa and then the fight began, is that right???

I heard that there was only 3-4 sherpas involved in fight, but why did Simone party say that about 100 sherpas attacked three of them? Do you think if 3 is attacked by 100 peoples would they be alive now???

When there was this incident, why did not simone party mention the name of the sherpa those who fought with them instead of blaming millions of innocent nepalese sherpas???

Please, help the Sherpas because they are very innocent, very helpful and very honest. It's first time that this three climbers dominating all the sherpas in the history of the sherpa people. Please understand that these sherpas works on everest mostly once in spring and rarely in autumn and let them do their work. If people like simone want to climb everest i think there are four seasons opened to climb everest and there are so much routes on Everest where they can climb by themselves, no thing will restrict them.

I know many peoples are jealous that Everest is in himalaya not in your garden, but for sure Sherpas are not feeling like what you feeling. All sherpa welcome everyone and appreciates to all climbers around the world for their great supports to the Sherpa peoples.

Thanks for the comment I really appreciate it. But it is sad to know that everybody are against Sherpa people to spit their anger.This conflict between Sherpa and Westerner climber had happened for the first time in the history of Everest. But nobody have to forget that how important are the Sherpa people for western climber in order to achieve their goal just for to live their lives by earning few amounts.

I know few companies have formed the organization to set up the fixed rope up to the summit. And now it become commercialize. But this idea was also came for the Western leader to earn money from another way. Which was started by Russel Brice from Tibet side to raise money from different agents and take responsible to fix the rope all the way. And when he was banned in Tibet then he started to run the expedition from south. So, his agent and himself begin to collect money and buy ropes and pays extra amount to their sherpa to fix the rope all the way to Summit. Now what is going on Everest is that some Nepalese agency along with Western are collecting huge amount of money to fix the line to the summit. Which are not accepted by many Nepalese agencies. But there is no option and just have to accept their rules.

So, my opinion is that issue should be raised for those agencies instead of Sherpa climber because they are treated by agencies and western climber as a porter on Everest like the owner treated the donkey while they are carrying the loads and just get food for day and night. This exactly happened to the Sherpa Climber. I have even heard that some veteran climber during IMAX 1996 Everest treated Sherpa Climber as a porter and hired them just to carry loads up to south col. He stated "You are my porter and I paid your agency to work here so you have to work as my order". So, in this point where is the harmony of human being towards Sherpa climber??

And nobody has to forget that for each and every expedition is not become a successful expedition without a support of Sherpa climber. So nobody have to forget how important Sherpa are in the mountain. I know this is happened by few Sherpa due to their agent but not by all. Each and every expedition agent even they are western are having Sherpa. For god sake to not undermine Sherpa Climber.

Why hiring Sherpa Climber by western agent? If you compare Sherpa Climber with westerner then you cannot compete with Sherpa Climber because they are mountain goat. Well, maybe technically , Westerner are good but physically nobody dare with Sherpa Climber. I am telling because if there is not Sherpa climbers hired on Mt. Everest then most of the climbers both commercial and noncommercial would have been died on Everest. The westerner leader are just up in the mountain to make critical decision during summit time and walk along with the members. But Sherpa Climber had to carry all loads up to south col and summit around 15 to 30 kg just to earn money for their lives. They have to carry tent, oxygen, food etc. And even during summit time they have to put off their gloves to replace oxygen of the climbing member and even carry their extra oxygen along with their own oxygen bottle.

So, I would like to tell that every record and summit of Westerner climber there is always role of Sherpa climber behind their success. And sad that nobody proudly mentioned their name on their books, journals and movies. Very Very sad to know that all media undermine the Sherpa climber. And also lots of Sherpa climberhad to die in camp 2 and summit but nobody raise the voice for them instead of making big issue of Simone moro’s issue.

Egos is currect word, people doesn't respect the mountain, too many expertise, trying to make hero of them self and No respect for unsong local sherpa climbers. Sea level guiding service being too gridy and look for the ways to promote their company NAME. People needs to learn to share, to respect and to let the experince local to lead. Rather than hogging the whole mountain them self! There are many self-fish company, who think they knows everything and, when things goes wrong they bleam to Sherpa's. They always talk about them self good things and never talk about the negitive and truth about them or, their company. I do know many truth about what's really goes on the mountain and how these people address 60% truth and 40 % LIES.

Why was it that Steck had to leave Nepal but Simone stayed for the rest of the season if Simone was the instigator?

Do you think that Steck was totally unaware of the agreements in place not to climb while Sherpas were fixing?

And you do you think that Steck did nothing more than climb to the side of the fixing party and then step over the fixed lines? That there were no prior exchanges before the fight?
