Altitude sickness loving sucks, I got a minor but obvious case once on a fairly low peak that I ascended too quickly and as a result wasn't acclimated even at only 9000'. We drove from 3000' to 7500' in an hour and a half then blitzed up the mountain fast as we could. It wasn't anything physiologically damaging or imminently life-threatening, but enough lack of oxygen to the brain that at one point I was too confused to go any farther and started freaking out and shaking. Glad I wasn't alone that day, could have been difficult to get back down :toot:

So yeah, don't make any common mistakes and get that, or worse than that. Not worth it.
