I’m off to acclimate (and photograph) in the mountains for the 2014 Everest Challenge organizer Steven Barnes—

Which is the most glorious time of year to be in the Eastern Sierra or White Mountains for pre-race acclimatization, so I’m stoked.

Illness in Apr/May/June interrupted my training season, so my body fat is higher than desired, but I seem to have trained up my strength well enough.
