[QUOTE="DNADave, post: 1805595, member: 110467"] It's my understanding that you'll likely basecamp at 10k feet, but hunt from 15k to 18k feet. The elevation you'll be hunting at will have severely low oxygen levels. You'll have trouble breathing at that elevation, no matter what your fitness level is. Plus, the diamox you'll be taking to keep your blood oxygen levels up is a really potent diuretic. You'll be going a LOT. As has been mentioned above, I'd focus on my fitness level at altitude and do my best to acclimate to high elevation months before my trip. Adjusting your scope dial is mostly math, but fitness and acclimatization must be worked for. [/QUOTE]
