Thanks for the photo, Dpryan. Perhaps you could edit it into a headshot, repost to Wikicommons, then link to Louis's page? Ratagonia (talk) 05:39, 10 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I did not put this in the article, because it's basically hearsay (albeit direct), but Lou was one of my professors in grad school, and one of his grad students was a good friend of mine. So, according to her (told to me at the time), it was not true that Lou did *no* training prior to expeditions. She told me that a couple of weeks before departure, he would go running in Golden Gate Park, in his street clothes and shoes. So *almost* no training. LOL. Lou himself told me that he more-or-less got in shape getting to base camps. Another story (double hearsay) told to me by my grad student friend was that there was a scientist in the Department of Physiology at UCSF who did studies on human exercise physiology (sorry, can't remember his name) who begged Lou for a long time to let him hook him up to his apparatus - and eventually getting the opportunity, subsequently described Lou as "a freak" (in terms of his baseline levels of fitness).
