1) I love to get high...altitude...
2) a kick step isnt really a kick step, it's more like a "swing your foot from the knee" step.
3) eating solid food at altitude is more difficult for me than the climb.
4) one can expect to burn 10,000 calories a day. Ugh, that means eating more than I care to think about.
5) someone asked if I'd ever seen any weird animals up there (like a Yeti?) Obviously they havent seen me for my 2 am starts for the summit...BOO !
