[pct-l] Numbness

[eyakel at earthlink.net (Eric Yakel)]

The same thing occassionally happens to me.  Was it always uphill when you got numb?  Seemed to be for me.  I believe it is a combination of age( I'm 49), the pressure of the hip belt on that artery that goes near the inside of your hips, and most of all altitude.  It never seems to happen to me on lower elevation hikes.
