When I saw this photo of Sherap Sherpa reminded me of one of the most stupid and dangerous thing I ever did in my life….up in Annapurna with only my guide and my porter..
I sprained my ankles on the 8th day and had to be negotiated as a human cargo on a horse back down the Himalayas. By day 10 my bum was so sore that I decided it would be less pain to cross this bridge this way than to get off and have to get back on again!!!! It caused a spectacle.
This photo was sent to me by a tourist when I got home. She wanted to see if I made it home alive! The smile on my face is a result of aspirins mixed with high altitude therefore lack of oxygen to my brain.
I remember someone shouting Smile…so I did! Lol. That was my excuse but I do not know what a Sherpa’s excuse is…as he does not suffer from attitude sickness…it is a genetic gift from god that he doesnt get it and I will…everytime!!!!
Anyway…next time I go…I am just going to sit in a Jeep up to Basecamp Everest….as No way will I do this again!!!!!!
P.S Sherap…your iron horse is heavier than my cargo pony…..YOU WIN on Danger level!!!!! I win on stupidity!!! 😂
