hiking 5:00:00 [3]
Hiked to Shira Camp 1 at 11,500 ft. Beautiful views, easy hiking.
They call pit stops "monkey breaks" and I was certainly queen of the monkey break. I started taking a very low dose of Diamox (125mg once a day) but it's a strong diuretic and I was being good and drinking my 3-4 liters of water on top of coffee, tea, soup and hot water at meals and I pretty much had to pee every hour or more. And every night I filled my pee bottles in the tent and even had to go empty them one night. The other two women in the group (wives of MIT people) were a little prim about going in the bushes or behind rocks, but my orienteering training has me totally comfortable with that.
