Well I have great experience at altitude and climbing... but not as a Leica user - I still consider myself a 'newbie' at this. I guess the thing I am most concerned about is the control of light - it can get quite bright. > Where are you going? This month is Ranier - then a few volcanos in Ecuador around the new year.
