It's official - Sherpa's are hardcore!!
This is Kanscha Sherpa on the day of the birth of his second daughter. His wife is in Kathmandu and to provide for his family this is his job.
We walked for almost 8 hours in this snow storm - climbing a 1000m ascent - that's as high as Ben Nevis in Scotland except not starting at sea level, starting at 4600m
One of the 17 year old porters,who has never been to school, could not carry the 50kg weight and Kanscha swapped his yellow rucksack (above) and carried the porters load to the summit of the pass - that is leadership!
