[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1637102, member: 2736"] No matter what you do, it will still take time to adjust to the altitude. When I was younger, I got in as good a shape as I could and when I reached the mountains I started climbing slowly and paced my self for a few days to get Acclimated. I also used a tall walking stick to give me an extra leg going up or down. The younger guys always kidded me (I was the oldest in my hunting party), but most of the time I was first to the top because I paced my self and didn't get altitude sickness and have to stop. (The torus and the hare Technique). If it makes you feel any better, I hunted with a friend from Colorado and he couldn't handle the thick humid gulf coast air and had lots of trouble acclimating to the air and sea level. Payback is a Bitch ;). J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
