We are talking Whitney Zone here correct? What are the chances in the WZ that you are going to come across someone in dire need about to die from HAPE or HACE and that you happen to have Dex in your pocket?
There is almost no place on the MMWT that if you start to feel bad you can't stop and rest or decide to turn around and descend.We aren't talking Camp 2,3 or 4 on Everest are we? I want to get this clear in my mind what we are talking about here.
