Also on this hike
At the sadle which was 12K feet I started to get altitiude sick. The next 600+ ft took over an hour to go up and I was sick all the way. But I made it!
Glad you made it up, but more importantly… back down! Have you had altitude sickness before?
I do get altitude sick. More importantly I had Covid back in April and I have never fully recovered and have been the same since. Even hiking no altitude trail hikes has been a little more difficult to breathe than it use to be. So I took oxygen canisters up with me on Humphrey’s just for safety and they helped alot. It gave me a boost of energy and made me feel better. This is my last above 11K ft hike I will ever do. I dont feel safe putting my self at risk. Im glad it all ended with an amazing summit that truly was like being on top of the world. I will still see everyone on the trails!
