Nothing says "fake accomplishment" like claiming to be the first to reach the top of a mountain by relying on the help (read: exploitation) of local people who had presumably been doing it for hundreds of years before you showed up.
Nobody was climbing Everest before then for hundreds of years. Absolutely 0% fucking chance that happened lol.. especially from the Nepalese side (I seriously doubt from tibet either).
The ice fall on the Nepal side is literally moving 1m every day and constantly changes for starters, and by the time you set up the camps, if there was any bad weather, they might not be there when you come back. Glacier travel you have a team of 2-3 people because of things like ice bridges and crevasses too and it would be impossible to summit without ladders. If you were solo and were doing the drops, your oxygen bottles could be stolen too
It can't be done without a large team, just like you can't captain a submarine without a team who built it, and helps maintain it. It is a group effort. Even a job like programming owes credit to a lot of people. Every thing you do does
You do realize that Tenzing was Nepalese too right? He was there with Edmund. Nims purja also had both a small team of climbers who were highly experienced and a much larger team helping. He is Nepalese. Is it exploitation by him too?
So Sherpas just knew exactly how to do it through cultural osmosis?
