Than colins own entry as a chimpanzee lifesize at one metre high in 80 kilos but this one is edible then put 4 days of work into it but. The biggest challenge doing this was actually trying to get the stunts how they see it is so sort of strange then i thought when i started it and its a cross reference so many different photos of where that happens how their legs sort of fold into each other.

Then cohen will need some fairly original ideas to stand out among the legions of imaginative cake bakers. One cake is more off the wall than the next but they all looked good enough to eat. When you think of chef is the himalayas immediately come to mind these people from t. V. Traditionally work as porters but here in europe we have a few remaining mountain porters to carry tons of food drinks and material up state of mt shelter in the slovakian Tetra National Park without destroying the courage of school the mt lodges could not exist and twice a year the european share for a cup the titian to find out who is quickest at carrying heavy loads to the top. 50 sherpas set off on a race each carrying 60 kilos of supplies on their backs through the high touch the mountains of slovakia. For many hikers the route would be too hazardous even without the extra weight on their backs. But time is the main challenge sherpas like stefan back are faced as they navigate the 6 kilometers of rocky path to the finish. Line. Is not a special you know the whole thing is more a matter of the mind. But there are some difficult moments can get tough to get over but thats where the shepherds pride comes into it you have to get the job done. Normally steffen back or would make the climb to the lodge alone he makes up to see 3 trips a day. At the base camp and study smoke of it he packs all the supplies on his back frame that people will need high in the mountains. Looking for he can heave up to 100 kilos onto his shoulders. To. Look im no bottles of the strength comes from inside from the mind but mainly from the hot. In summer as in winter the sherpas keep the lodges of the high touches supplied and open to serve hikers and mountaineers the regions flora and fauna are unique in europe. So whatever us to sort through just gives a strength about a bit but its great to be out all day makes around this part of nature. Or you cant do this job if you dont love nature there are what we do involves a sense. Ecological responsibility only because we carried the supplies up to the lodges can they be maintained without roads or cable cars or even helicopters. Sometimes when the lodges are short handed its part of the sherpas job to stay and help out so the largest depend on them in more ways than one to be able to stay open. In a sense its magical.

Theyre principally men who have a strong will and theyre driven by an almost fanatical love for the mountains those are the main traits. The last few metres of the sherpa race. To. The fastest among them cover the 700. 00 metre climb to the Brothers Lodge at some 2000 metres elevation and about one hour and 20 minutes to. Arrive at the finish line almost half an hour later but all of them are satisfied. To get them on this is simply my life its not just a way for me to earn money. Is just incredibly fun. Its hell for 2 hours but its all the more fun afterwards. The great thing about this competition is that. The only time with you know daily routine we have no time to communicate throughout the whole year we never get to meet up like we do here its super diffuse out of the whole because. I support you.
