KATMANDU, Nepal\n\nSherpas and Mountaineering\n\nSherpas were of immeasurable value to early explorers of the Himalayan region, serving as guides and porters at the extreme altitudes of the peaks and passes in the region. Today, the term has been extended to apply to almost any guide or porter hired for mountaineering expeditions in the Himalayas. However, in Nepal Sherpas often insist on making a distinction between themselves and general porters, as they often serve in a more guide-like role and command higher pay and respect from the community. (Often the generic term "sherpa" meaning guide is written uncapitalized, in contrast with the capitalized "Sherpa" meaning the ethnic group.)\n\nSherpas are renowned in the global climbing and mountaineering community for their hardiness, expertise, and experience at high altitudes. Despite the value of their services, the pay is insubstantial to the point where many cannot afford the modern climbing gear that Western climbers use. Many have speculated that a portion of Sherpas' climbing ability may be due to a genetically greater lung capacity, allowing much better performance at high altitudes. It has also been suggested that one reason why they were widely used as porters is that they had fewer dietary prohibitions than most people of the region and were prepared to eat whatever was given to them on expeditions.\n\nHistorically, the most famous Sherpa is Tenzing Norgay, who climbed Mount Everest with Edmund Hillary for the first time in 1953.\n\nTwo Sherpas, Pemba Dorjie and Lhakpa Gelu, have recently competed as to who can climb Everest quicker. On May 23rd 2003 Dorji summitted in 12 hours and 46 minutes. Three days later Gelu beat his record by two hours, summitting in 10 hours 46 minutes. On May 21st 2004 Dorjie again improved the record by more than two hours with a total time of 8 hours and 10 minutes. This feat may be considered one of the greatest in mountaineering.

I was teaching English in Seoul, South Korea.\n\nOne of my students was on his honeymoon in Phuket. They left one day before it hit. He seems like a nice hard working guy. He almost broke down in tears in the classroom because he was just there.

Type "mountains of the United States" in your search engind, and read from there.\n\nPut a little effort in your studies.  When I went to school, we had to use BOOKS to look stuff up.

Mount Averest in Nepal/China is the highest peak in South-east Asia and the world at 29,035 ft or 8,850 meter.\n\nIt is not a local name but international usage, named after the British explorer, Sir Averest who discovered it.

In short, the Sherpa are an Nepalese ethnic group who live in the Himalayas since they migrated from Tibet 5 centuries ago.\n\n "sherpa" (with a lowercase S) is a misnomer given to locals who act as guides for climbers who want to venture into the Himalayas, as they are used to the high altitude and know the terrain.\n\nHowever, a sherpa does not always belong to the Sherpa ethnic group.

Any of them, Mt. Everest is the obvious answer.  What about Mt. Washington in New Hampshie (world's highest wind speeds) or The Andes (amazing views)

hi there, mehereintheeast.  I'm not sure exactly where you can take Chinese classes.  I took some Chinese a few years ago and the way I found a teacher was by going to the campus of a university and asking people who looked Chinese. (Amazingly, every person who I thought was Chinese was actually from China.)\n\nYou answered my question about Guru Rinpoche, and I have a few more questions about it.  Your answer implied that Buddhas are not monks.  Most forms of Buddhism consider Shakyamuni Buddha to have been a monk, and in the Pali texts, he refers to himself that way, as do his disciples.  Is there a different view in the Nyingma school?  In the present case, I am not calling only lamas monks, but all five levels of ordained practitioners as defined by Tibetan Buddhism. Also, is there any record of Padmasambhava having been ordained?  He trained at monasteries in India, but I don't think he was actually ordained.  And finally, have you had any contact with Tibetans, Nyingmapa or otherwise, who feel that his choice to have various female consorts prevents him from maintaining the status of being a monk?  I understand that some people there feel that way.\n\nThanks.

before you even think about it you should have alot of sailing evperience. If you don't know the type of boat you need you probably don't have enough. The best thing to do, is try to get on a crew near your home port. Learn the ways of the ocean, and take mariner's classes. Just because you have a great pair of hiking shoes doesn't mean you should try to climb everest. The pacific is a beautiful deadly place.

I want to travel the Silk Road from beginning to end. I have lived near either end in Italy and Japan, but have never visited the areas in between on the Eurasian continent.
