Well, you most certainly (?!?) is in better shape than me, and probably
look far better in swimsuit too... I wouldn't try getting to 11000 ft
without a plane these years. :-)
Worst about high altitudes (once ago I was young and adventurous,
believe it or not) is the lower O2 pressure, wich translates in less gas
change and stamina - light packages become incredibly heavier, and the
quality of the beauty sleep gets diminished too. Short story, one gets
tired for nothing, can't rest enough, and some don't adapt at all - main
reason I chose scubadiving over mountain climbing (yes, the sea is
closer too).
Have a great trip! And take great photos, of course...

ps: don't worry about taking pics of the Sasquatch, he's on vacation
here - we met yesterday over some beers. Tomorrow I'm taking the
camera... worst problem being keep it steady after the 10th or 12th.

John, Sasha, Paul, Luiz and Bob, thanks for pitching in. appreciate your
inputs.
i think i can just about manage with one lens on the camera and two in
the backpack. so it's probably going to be the sigma 10-20, the
fa50/1.4 and the da 50-200. i am also planning to squeeze in a
manfrotto 725b (it's quite compact, and weighs about 3 pounds).
it's not a particularly tough trek, since we are all first-time
trekkers (and Luiz most of us are also reasonably fit and who knows
might look good in a swim suit too :)). we'll be staying within the
treeline mostly, the maximum altitude we'll reach will be around 11,000
ft. looking forward to it. :)
regards, subash
