Take expected amount of time to make a hike ...add 30% more time for going back and getting cameras and setting up shots...add 10% for petting and talking to random animals. Your extra efforts will never go unappreciated.

@4ourfutureinfinity True about added weight. Benefits: keeps snow/water out of your socks and, most importantly, you have less of a chance to experience a sprain ankle, especially on the descent. It all depends of the structure of the trail.

This feels sooooo weird to watch. I did the same trek last year and now I almost completely relive it by watching this. Was such an emotional hike for me as I went through a rough patch last year and my trip to South America was like a turn-around moment. Reaching the top during this trek (also did the Salkantay Trek to Macchu Pichu, which gave me an equally emotional feeling) was such a glorious moment. Love it, Kraig. Thanks for sharing.

Hypoxia is no joke! Being at 14-15,000 feet *anyone* will feel signs of hypoxia without supplemental oxygen. First signs show for most people at altitudes above 8,000 feet already! Big respect from me that you did this hike with (seemingly) few days to acclimatize!
@ortegaviacava4 ай бұрын
I never watched a hiker following this trail with supplemental oxygen. I am peruvian from the coast and did it too with my family on August 2023. Acclimatized one day at Huaraz, other at Yungay and another more at Vaqueria before starting the trek, no oxygen needed for a group of 57, 56, 19 and 12 years old. Some headaches after Punta Union pass, but that was all. It was a beautiful experience, coming back after 20 years.

Right down to the night of rain/snow, the loving stray dogs, the ride to the start (minus a blizzard), and the overwhelming existential feeling when taking in those views. It made me feel quite emotional, but it's something I needed to be reminded of how lucky I am to have experienced this first hand. Fantastic work, keep inspiring us!
