Marty,
It was the 1st time I ever got altitude sickness, and I did not start getting it until above 12500 ft. My 1st attempt of Whitney, I got only to trail camp and had to turn back due to the storm. That was only 12,000k and I didn't have any issues that 1st time.
I guess, relative to how much time I had to acclimate, not having issues until past 12,500k isn't too bad?
I posted the detailed TR so that folks who try to do it without proper acclimatization will know how it feels.
