The Widow Maker

Sherpa share why they love and appreciate their work as mountaineers on Mount Everest despite the dangers.

Sherpa does not mean what most of the Western world believes. Sherpas are mountain climbers, but an ethnic group of people with their own culture and beliefs.

Sherpas hold a ceremony to ask Mount Everest permission to climb before embarking on their journey.

Sherpas hold a tenuous group meeting at Everest Base Camp immediately after the devastating avalanche in April 2014.

Sherpa, part of Elevation Weekend, premieres Sat Apr 23 at 9/8c.
