Most important: Next time, go when you don't have any fever issues. wink

If you were urinating that often, I'd say you were over-hydrating. There IS such a thing as hyponatremia (too much water without electrolytes) that can cause a headache. But you were using electrolytes, so that probably isn't it.

The headache is likely due to altitude. You sound like a candidate for Diamox, and more acclimatization: Spend time higher and longer next time -- maybe check out Horseshoe Meadows and try hiking around there.


Yes, Lone Pine Lake.

As far as the fever issues, I can tell you I'm the type of person that will have "summit fever", and my fever was not gonna stop me from attempting lol Obviously it wasn't ideal, but I had to try at least. Next year we are planning at camping overnight at trail camp and splitting the hike into two days.
