There sure was a lot of whining about the "gruelling" task of carrying the alfalfa, but it seemed like a rather wimpy thing. Not easy, with the altitude but not exactly a life-beater. 7 year old children walk around with 15 or 20 pound backpacks all the time.
The average person walks 4mph so I can't imagine they were out there for more than 25 minutes, max but some of them were just dieing.
