9100 ft elevation

Thanks for the reply. I'm definitely working with one foot in each boat, but I use the two systems for two completely different purposes. The D800 does night sports and editorial photography; the M43's do everything else.

Speaking of sports, I have fond memories of playing soccer up at Summit County against the local high school team. The altitude had us all gasping - and we were coming from 6000 ft (Colorado Springs).

Yup, 9100 to 9600 ft elevation makes for challenging sports activities. Luckily, my sports at that elevation are limited to my hiking, and I can do that at my own pace without worrying about having to "defeat" my fellow hikers! And, no, I'm not a skier despite having lived in Colorado since I was a very young boy.
