Porters carry heavy loads by using a head stap called a tumpline that transfers the load to the forehead.

Porters heading towards the South Face of Annapurna I, the 10th tallest mountain in the world. The South Face stands about 10,000' in vertical relief.

Transport of climbing expedition supplies, and general goods for the locals involve manual labor over some of the most rugged terrain on the planet.

Yeah, Richard and Sara have been also been good shepherds directing me on the finer points of posting photo series. I am not sure what "exif wit hus" means but I understand that I need to put my photo series in one post. Sara has given mean some simple instructions that I will take the time to figure out next time I put up images. Thanks!

Really nice series. Especially 1, 2,3, 5, and, as a detail shot, the foot image. Very nice!

Ok, so here are a couple other Porter images, but, am really learning how to apply more than one image in one post. Next I need to figure how to put up multiple shots directly from my computer files with out having to link to the smugmug galleries.

The processing in these images below are not to my satisfaction.

This image is of paying off the Porters at Annapurna Base Camp:



Porters climbing the lateral moraine of the South Annapurna Glacier. Dangerous terrain with house sized boulders teeter-tottering all around.



It is always satisfying sharing these images, thanks, guys!
