Have you been watching the Discovery Channel's reality series on Mt. Everest? Yea, I am watching it and am intrigued by the adrenalin rush few of us humans have to take on challenges. I am more intrigued by the "People of the East", the Sherpas. How they survive in the high altitudes and how little they get in fame and money for all the dog work they do in the expeditions every year.

Here is a link to knowing more about sherpas' history on Mt. Everest
