Description
Wim's physical condition is better than mine, so he outruns me easy and waits for me while I *pant* *pant* approach him far slower than I would like to admit. Now and then I have to take a break *pant* *pant* and *pant* while *pant* I try *pant* to get enough oxygen *pant* I decide to shoot him *pant* with the telelens. *pant* So here I nailed him and *pant* cropped this shot (the original slide is the bottom picture). I've found back my breath and meet him up there, from where we ascend together again.

The view is impressive and so is Wims condition. I share and understand that feeling of gasping for air too. More air and more water. You guys are surely packed with heavy gear. I'm gasping for air just thinking about it, lol. Enjoying ever bit of your hikes. Excellent. Aloha

Nice to see your friend on your beautiful mountain views... Your story is funny and reminds me so well my own situation : with my overweight and my photographic material, sometimes I have some difficulties to follow the group... ;-) I really like the contrast in color between the blue-grey rocks and the green in the foreground... Excellent visual reportage of your hike, Jan-Carel ! :~)

Excellent photography Jan, of a most beautiful place, especially for hiking. I must say - Wim looks like he's panting a bit too, LOL! Just curiously - what is the elevation this image was captured at? I'd love to know!

Even with all your pant sure it was a wonderfull journey!

You have taken an excellent shot despite all the panting. Take heart, you are not the only one to pant in high altitude! I do that all the time climbing more than three stories!! Awesome scenery!

Oui, c'est un vieux truc de randonneur : "que c'est beau ici !" On sort l'appareil photo, on prend tout sont temps pour le rler, on prend plusieurs clich... Mine de rien repose et c'est inoffensif pour l'amour propre :-)

Looks like a pretty impressive mountain in the background there. Bringing out the camera to take some pictures is always a good excuse to pant get ones breath back (at least some of it :)
deannemart
Glad to hear I'm not the only one having trouble keeping up these days! I actually like the full shot better than the cropped image - it shows the dusting of snow on the rocky slopes :)
Laelia
Sympathize with your pant, too ! Did Wim tell you not to stop, here, as he seems on the picture ? Bravo for your endurance and great shot !
