Advice for the Inca Trail

[boardertune]

I also had trouble getting enough air in. It helped me, to breathe in quickly and out slowly, particularly on the more difficult parts of the climb. Using the poles to assist to climb and counting out my breaths with each step, like breath in, 1,2,3,4,breathe in, 1,2,3,4,breathe in, 1,2,3, breathe in, 1,2,3,breathe in, etc,

thanks for posting

Thanks for the advice, so the poles can be bought in peru or we have to have them ready for when we leave in my case the US?
