[QUOTE="vedauvoo, post: 2804892, member: 47024"] A few ideas from the National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS), "Wilderness Medicine" book: Acclimatization is the key. Start out sleeping at altitudes below 10,000 feet and spend 2 to 3 nights there before going higher. Climb high but sleep low. Stay hydrated. Avoid sleeping medication. Become familiar with symptoms/signs of severe altitude illness, High Altitude Pulmonary Edema (HAPE) and High Altitude Cerebral Edema (HACE). At onset of these symptoms be willing to move rapidly to lower elevation. [/QUOTE]
