And being a mountain climber living at 8,500 ft elevation in Colorado helping with acclimation and training is just outside my door. I have been climbing in the USA Smokies and Rockies, Alps in France and Switzerland, Volcanoes in Mexico and Ecuador, Highest peak in Andes in Argentina, more volcanoes in Japan and Indonesia and Himalaya 8,000 meter peak in Tibet.
Neat. Nothing in the Sierra’s, like Whitney?
I have a fear of heights. I don’t go more than 2 steps on a ladder ever - higher makes me dizzy. More power to you.LOL
