Wow!

I think Sherpas are the real climbers.

Re: Wow!

I totally agree.
These guys can carry twice their own weight, and go distances that blows my mind.

Yes they are..

I could barely lift the load off the ground with a bear-hug.
Nevermind putting it onto my back and carrying it up the hill for many many miles.
Thanks for the visit.

Re: Viva Nepal !!!

Hi Larry,
Yes, I am not weak, and all I could manage was to lift it two inches off the ground.
Thanks for the visit,
Marc
