Getting High



Whiteface Mountain1045m, Mt Rushmore 1745m, Mt Rainer 4352m, Mt Elbert 4401m. Bernadette in the Ak Baital Pass 4655m! All the tourist information for the Pamir region warn of altitude sickness and advise you to asend slowly. That was easily done. The only lightheadedness I felt came from the swelling of satisfaction. My daffy grin resulted not from the thin air but the pride of accomplishment.
