Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion Mt Whitney summit in first week of November..??

Personally if I ever had any side effects from diamox I wouldn't take it. I think it is fine for those that know they need it and have taken it successfully. It is not for everyone.It only helps one acclimate but is not a substitute for proper acclimation which is extended time at altitude.When I summited MW I had diamox in my pack but never needed it nor would I take it prophylactically.
