YOU'VE GOT A LAFRENIÈRE IN ME
I live at sea level and my last backpacking trip I drove out there and then hiked to camp at 2800m, got there in the afternoon and felt kinda lovely with a headache and stuff, but that might have also been some dehydration and fatigue as I was trying to hike pretty fast and probably didn't drink enough.
I've done some bike rides that started around 4k feet and up to 10k feet and I found that gave me a lot harder time over 9k feet probably from the effort and faster ascent than hiking. It seemed to mess with my stomach a lot for some reason.

When I summited Mt Whitney at the end of the Jon Muir Trail it was interesting because after almost 3 weeks we were quite well acclimated (slept at 12k feet the night before) and I practically jogged up to the top. Then you see the people trying to day hike it or take 2 days and they are just suffering from the altitude
