• What were the qualities or skills of each member that benefitted the team?

there are multiple skills that each one benifite the team such as biologies in the cooker 

and these are necessary   skills for any climbing team.

  How was the Team helped by ‘cultural diversity’ to attain their goal (reach the summit of Everest)?  

     Cooperation and team spirit among this team, where they came from different countries and     different cultures , they were one hand to meet the challenge in climb Everest mountains.  I think this is the real cultural diversity.
