The advice to physically prepare is definitely well taken. I'm planning some training hikes in July while over the last couple of months I've stepped up my exercise regime a gear or two. I fully expect the trip to be exhausting but I want to make sure I enjoy it.
The decision as to which camera rig I take - whether 4x5, 120 or 35mm might only be taken at the last minute, after I see how my preparation goes. The weight comparison made by Drew is interesting. I'd love to take the 4x5 but my sense is a smaller camera will give me considerably more freedom - and therefore fun.
