Sherpas tend to be highly skilled, genetically adapted to altitude and mountains, and are extremely well paid (life-changing).

You keep painting this picture like they dragged some homeless local off the street and forced him up a mountain. That’s not fair, and it undervalues the role of a sherpa.

There are plenty of hikes and other things throughout the world that will not involve other people dying for them.

Again, you can say this about any activity if you don’t enjoy adventure. Another hike might put you in danger of wild animals, or a traffic accident if touring by bus.

Tragedy happens, and fortunately, as far as mountain climbing goes, it’s quite rare.
