Sherpa (local) climbs Everest in eleven hours: national pride

Foreigner climbs Everest in three days: "against climbing ethics"

Got it.

That Sherpa was born and lived on the mountain his whole life. Everything he is was molded by his life. His ability to make the climb came from years of experience and knowledge.

The foreigner huffed some gas and slept in a high-tech tube a week before the climb.

I'll leave to the reader to decide which one deserves respect and admiration.
