How high is that?

Just a couple of miles. http://www.gsmnp.com/pages/chimney_tops.html

This was taken with a Ricoh KR5 SLR Yeah,
kinda lame -- but I was counting every ounce
of pack weight. I was only 3 weeks out
of Georgia and had months to go.

It can add up but I think I'd have to go with a medium format folder
or rangefinder such as the Fuji 6X7/6X9 cameras. Even the GS645's are
excellent in that they are incredibly durable.

I haven't yet figured out how to carry the usual
30-40 lbs needed for multi-day backpacking
plus the extra 20-30 lbs needed for LF photography.

Low fat and lotsa protein !

Sherpas?

One of these days I should pose that question to
Jerry Greer or David Muench.

And good boots.

I've carried various 45 cameras up various inclines,
and across a few barren expanses- is this an invite for I lugged my
stuff further and higher than you?

How about steeper ?

One of the worse was the time I
lugged the 45 and the 810 plus film holders,....meters and various
gizmos and of course my Reis pod.

A Reis ? That little thing ? LOL ! Try a Bogen 3051 w/3057 head. Mine
weighs in around 20 pounds. Now add the Zone VI 4X5 with bag, 3
lenses, 10 Hoffman metal film holders, Calumet C2N and so forth. The
645 was that POS by Mamiya. It was quite complete and stayed in my
waste pack along with the Nikkormat FTN. By the time I made it back
down the trail my legs felt like rubber bands that had been stretched
waaaaay too far !

its two feet across at the top and drops about 800 feet on both sides.

You are *bleep*ing crazy!! In the words of someone else, I like terra
