[QUOTE="Buzzard Breath, post: 2913699, member: 3158"] tickweed has some great advise. Especially the get acclimated slowly part. This year, we'll be staying a night in Denver (5,500 ft?), then staying a night at the trailhead (9,000 ft), then hiking in the next day. Here's a few items you will want to take. Chapstick - the air is very dry. I forgot it once, and I now take a tube in my pocket and another tube in my pack. I was miserable because I didn't have a simple 99 cent tube of it Wet-wipes - no explanation needed Contractor garbage bag - tons of uses You should be fine with an alcohol stove. I've used one around here in the past and it will work fine if all you're doing is boiling water. I quit using it and switched to an esbit stove, just because I didn't like fooling around with a liquid in the dark when I was cold, tired and hungry. [/QUOTE]
