W: Did your father encourage you to climb Mt. Qomolangma?
M: No. I did ask him to pull some strings so that I could climb with an Indian expedition, and he flatly said “No”. He climbed so that we wouldn’t have to.
W: Did you climb any mountains with him when you were a kid?
M: Mt. B. C. Roy, a training peak.
W: What did he say at the top?
M: He didn’t talk much, but from his smile, I could see he was proud.
W: The Sherpa view of climbing is different from the western view.
M: We Sherpas believe that mountains are places where the gods live, especially Mt. Qomolangma. Before we climb, we perform religious ceremonies to ask god for permission and a safe passage. Sherpas don’t have any interest in climbing mountains. Mostly they climb as a necessity to make money. But the western world looks on Mt. Qomolangma as another rock and says, “Wow, this is the highest mountain. Let’s go conquer it.” You don’t conquer Mt. Qomolangma. You go on Mt. Qomolangma just as if you are crawling into your mother’s lap.
W: Let’s talk about the day you reached the summit of Mt. Qomolangma.
M: My desire to climb Mt. Qomolangma grew even more after my father died in 1986. I wanted to climb to understand him. Throughout the whole climb, I thought about it.On the final day, I felt my father was pulling or pushing me, because I didn’t know where this energy came from. When I finally got to the top, I cried. I could see my dad there with a big smile.
