No doubt! After reading Into Thin Air about the climbing of Everest, and following Jimmy Chin - a world renowned climber/photographer on social media - what those Sherpas do in a normal hike is crazy
But what this Sherpa did is just difficult to put into context of difficulty. Since of those descents or crossings over the fissures with a full grown human strapped to you seems impossible

Along these lines, if anyone needs an astonishing documentary to watch, check out 14 Peaks on Netflix. People who go up those mountains are just another class of human
