So here's a little bit of audio from my trek in the Rwenzori Mountains. Let me provide more context. We've just finished a day of hiking that included: waking up at 5:30, starting a 2000 foot ascent of a glacier covered mountain in a snowstorm, clomping along for hours in cramp-ons on the glacier, eating twice, trying to do another day's hike after the summit climb to escape the cold and snow, and finally, hiking in a swamp, in the failing light and eventual dark. The audio is in two segments. Part one is on the summit of the big Margherita, clocking in at 16730 feet. The second is that night, after we've probably burned between 5000-6000 calories. Enjoy. One Caveat, this recording was done with my ipod, rocking a belkin voice recorder, the audio leaves something to be desired at points.
