i've posted a few shots at the website for the folks on the trip (which y'all are welcome to take a gander at). I'll take some of them off and post more mountain shots and my black and white slides in the next week--that is if the lab in Miami ships my order before they board up for Frances!
left a message with the expedition folks at CMS and recommended 2 additional days of acclimatization for the trip I was on--Brad Johnson, who has an ace guidebook out on the Cordillera Blanca (and who we ran into while in Huaraz), recommends 3 nights in Huaraz after arrival from Lima. That might not be necessary for someone who is climbing on a regular basis in Colorado, but maybe it would have helped me. And Huaraz is a wonderful, cheap town to hang out, hike, bike, drink, or whatever other activity one uses to acclimate.
I've always wondered if there is any difference between 'acclimate' and 'acclimatize'?
