    The Sherpa people from the Mt. Everest region of the Nepal Himalaya have long been renowned for their excellence in high altitude mountaineering and have accompanied all major expeditions in the region since Nepal opened it's borders to foreigners in the early 1950's.

    Sherpa's are catagorised by how much they can carry and are paid accordingly, so a Sherpa capable of carrying 20 kilos will be a 20 kilo sherpa, 30, 40, 50, 60 etc etc....the more weight they can comfortably carry the more they get paid.


    TRUE or FALSE ?

    Sorry Bregje & Bregt but the answer is TRUE!



    Though it's not strictly a 20 kilo, 30 kilo etc Sherpa, it's certainly true that the heavier the weight the bigger the pay.

    When I hired a Sherpa I didn't ask for a "20 kilo" Sherpa, though when he lifted my rucksack after I'd packed it he asked why it was so light shocked

    I met one kid ( that's right.....a kid ) on the trail who was carrying 60 kilos of GLASS all wrapped in straw in a wooden frame......he was 17 years old! shocked lick

    Seriously though, thee blokes are legendarily strong. I've seen old footage of them hiking up the mountain with, like, poststoves and furnaces on their backs... Very impressive!

    Absolutely!

    The same 17 year old lugged a 110 kilo wood burner up to his Fathers lodge ( and where I stayed ) in the small settlement of Gokyo at an altitude of around 15,000 ft. The Father bought the lodge from Britains Channel 4 who built it to house the film crew for the documentary 'Balloon Over Everest'.

    Here's Gokyo

    I mean they were more used to darker lighting because there was no electric, bright light. So it was "easier" for them. But perhaps plindboe is right...perhaps they didn't have shoelaces back then in the first place.

    Just for a change I've decided to move the goal post on this question. I can tell you ALL of you got it correct, it is TRUE!

    But now I want to see which one of you ( or anyone who hasn't played yet? ) can tell me WHY it's true biggrin

    ....and I'm almost willing to say YES! that IS the answer, I'll bet it's not far off the truth but what proof do we have?


    Anyway, no more guesses at why it was easier to put your boots on in the dark between 1400 - 1600 AD?

    Answer tonight!

    Well, you already have my answer re: the lighting. I know it's not it, though, but it was the most logical I could think of. smile
