Out of curiosity, for how long have you been mountain climbing ?
I had the first feel of altitude in the Swiss Alps 2004 on one or two 4000m peaks, and I then went to my first big mountain in 2005 (Peru), so high mountaineering about 4 years.
I have been wilderness hiking and peak bagging in Sweden and Norway every year since I was 10 years old though, so mountains in some form have been part of most of my life. Also do a bit of rock climbing and Scottish style winter climbs. It's amazing it all started out with one day walks with my parents in the Swedish mountains, and now I'm of to Himalaya

cheers Porphy
