Bob, do you use any sort of pre-climb aclimatization program? (one night at 10k....two nights?) I am curious, because, I too do quite well at altitude if I sleep high the night before (I have done 13,800 from sea level as a turn and burn (day hike) but I had been at altitude the weekend before)


The body betrays and the weather conspires, hopefully, not on the same day.
