Unless one is a professional and the livelihood DEPENDS on getting that picture (i.e. it may have been in your case, but no in most of our cases), getting that much pain is not going to be worth it. Oh sure, Marc Muench says (paraphrasing) "most people would hike 1/2 mile to get the picture, so I hike 2 miles to get the pictures most people don't see." I do that, just not with so much gears that it will take more than 2 ibuprophen the next day!!
