On another note...HOLY HELL the Huandoys are dry. The route up Sur that I attempted last year looks like it's practically a rock climb!

Yes on acclimating. That was a quick start to your trekking...did you do the Santa Cruz?

We only had 3 days. We did Quilcayhuanca valley and Cojup Pass. Day 1 to 14k, day 2 to 16.5k . Luckily we hiked Gorgonio the weekend before so we probably were still a bit acclimated.
