The biggest issue that you'll find outside of space and weight, is the rain and cold can destroy your camera (it happened to a guy I climbed with). Whatever you do take, I'd say to keep it in a ziploc bag, plastic bag, and insulated because it will freeze up by time you get to the top. Anything that's watertight and insulated will go a long way. Also keep it in your day pack and not with the porters. <br /><br />Pics with an slr or 35mm would be amazing, so if you can swing it, I'd say take it.<br /><br />Feel free to ask any questions.Dr. Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11192464289321739841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4563765989333989993.post-35324854597904547142011-07-20T22:10:07.751-04:002011-07-20T22:10:07.751-04:00Hey Christopher, I am so glad I found your blog!

This is really helping me to understand what we are up against. This is a big fundraiser for us. My question: did you bring a 35mm or a point-and-shoot camera? The pics are fabulous! I want to bring my big camera but am worried about the rain, and also the weight. We are so limited in what we can bring. What do you think?Lauriehttp://www.kelleycom.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4563765989333989993.post-27446695710879161012011-04-05T13:06:36.900-04:002011-04-05T13:06:36.900-04:00and i thought all i had to worry about was falling...and i thought all i had to worry about was falling rocks.....Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01319603672792436682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4563765989333989993.post-58154108498109556242011-03-29T15:17:19.303-04:002011-03-29T15:17:19.303-04:00Come to think of it, it wasn't really all that...Come to think of it, it wasn't really all that safe, lol.Dr. Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11192464289321739841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4563765989333989993.post-4303335981535147592011-03-29T08:36:12.351-04:002011-03-29T08:36:12.351-04:00My eyes are bugging out at the rock face that you ...My eyes are bugging out at the rock face that you climbed with no ropes, no safety gear. Beautiful, but terrifying. Glad I didn't know what you were doing until afterwards!Kendrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10554490676780563859noreply@blogger.com
