westerners compete with sherpas on a 12km climb carrying 25+kg sacred stones:

guess who wins-lol

winning sherpa time = 1:45 (>4mph)
first westerner > 3:30

wonder what time elite trail runners could do it in?

In reply to morphus:

The Sherpas put just about everybody to shame when it comes to things like this. Some of my most memorable mountain nights are from spending time around the fire talking to typically unassuming Sherpas when they just mention things in passing like "when I went up to the South Col", like you or I would "just pop to the shops".
